Klipsch Cornwall IV

Hello all,

I'm interested in what people who have heard the speaker feel about it. I currently run spatial M3 turbos and have an all tube analog setup ( line magnetic, hagerman ) with an oppo 105 being the digital front end.


Previous speakers have been acoustic zen, reference 3A, Maggie 3.6, and triangles. I am more concerned with a huge immersive sound stage than I am with pinpoint imagery. I have a big room and have plenty of space between the back wall and my speakers if I need it.


Any thoughts?

i would be very appreciative if a reader here can describe to me their opinion of the stereophonic imaging/depth qualities of the latest cornwall IV speakers, how they compare to something like a thiel tower, for example.

KREN,

They are called WALL for a reason. They can be placed in corners or next to a wall.

Well that name was assigned 50 years and 4 models ago. Doesn’t mean it still applies. Look at Khorn - latest model doesn’t need to be in corner. 
Just wondering how far from wall owners have seen best results?

Nobody said they HAD to be placed near a corner/wall. It does apply just like AUDIO NOTE speakers will always work near a Corner/Wall. They are designed to do so. Go to the Klipsch site and see where they are placed OR look at any of their advertisements/brochures. ALSO watch ZERO FIDELITY’s review on Youtube. His Room is only 9 x 12 so guess what....they arent very far from the wall at all.

I think placing them too close to a wall or a corner diminishes their potential. NEAR a wall or corner is good. I have mine approx. 3 ft from the corner and this works very well.

As for the question on soundstage and imaging, they are very good at this, better than you would think a horn would be. They don't image like a monitor or some big name tower speakers, but they have a very 3 dimensional quality, not flat at all.
