Klipsch Cornwall IV

Okay, an update. I had the chance to listen to the Cornwalls today at The Sound Room here in st. Louis. It was a Klipsch Heritage event complete with artisan whiskey tastings. 



Impressions: the room was nicely treated acoustically. And Much Too Small for these speakers. The bass boom squelched the imaging I knew these speakers ard capable of. So e recordings I could sense their magic, but most others everything blendef into a haze of projection. 


And I could tellsomething was up when the sound rep kept pushing live Floyd and Eagles recordings as test tracks. Eff that. I had to insist on well-produced Tears for Fears and Dominique Fils-aime in there. 


I'll be demo-ing the Triangle Cellos next week. 

Cornwall's do just fine in small rooms. ZERO FIDELITY reviewed them on his youtube channel....his room is 9x12.  Mine is 13x15.  They work very well in all size rooms.  Triangle's have Jacked Up Tweeters so be prepared.

I've owned Triangles before. These Cornwalls in this room just seemed too muddy and smeary. YMMV

I own 3 pairs of Triangle's...which is why I gave the warning. Much like Monitor Audio and Kef speakers they have attributes many dont like. Good that you already know their presentation and what to expect.

Hi
I would say that Cornwalls are anything but muddy or smeary which makes me question the room and most importantly the gear ahead of them.  I have mine maybe a foot from the rear wall, but they are each about 6 ft from the side walls.  Bass is very tight and fast.  As Oz noted, it probably goes down into the mid 30's with authority.  It is not a perfect speaker by any means, but if it sounded muddy, then the system in front of it had issues, the room had issues, or quite possibly, the speakers were relatively new and didn't have at least 100 hours on them and the woofer surrounds were not loosened up yet.  Not to say you wouldn't prefer some other speaker as we all have our taste, but Cornwall bass is quite fast and tight when all is working..
