That's why you would run the Cornwalls with your dual HSU subs. That's what I do.

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?

The only klipsch speakers that can give Cornwall IV run is KLIPSCH EPIC CF4 but it was made through 1994-1996 check it out https://youtu.be/alhjT1L1Nts |
Yes to mods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Other things besides changing caps and resistors that can be done that will transform the speaker: 1. Change all coils in the mids and highs to large gauge air core coils......foil sounds best. Go into the inside of the coil and out the outside for best sound. Klipsch uses all iron core coils.....not good. 2. Get rid of all connections. Hardwire the wires from the xover to the tabs on the mid and high drivers and hardwire directly to the voice coil wire on the woof. Do my binding post bypass system on the input of the speaker...see http://tweakaudio.com/EVS-2/EVS_1200_amplifier.html for large pic. Do not use the stock speaker terminal jumpers.....bi wire for best sound or use cryoed OFC wire for jumper. You always want your speaker wire to go directly to the mid high terminal for most transparent sound. 3. Damp the midrange and tweeter horns. There is a video online of someone doing this and the sonic benefits. For those wild types.....how about time aligning.....Remove the mid and tweeter horn from the speaker.....turn the speaker upside down so the woofer is on the top and stack the mid and tweeter horns on top of the box and line up the voice coils of all three drivers.....use felt to keep the tweeter output from bouncing off the mids. The crossover was designed for non time aligning so it may have to be tweaked......this would be a big boy mod. Many of the big horn speakers time align their drivers. Of course, there are speaker box beefing mods, adding Ground Enhancers directly to the speaker ground terminals....etc. etc. to infinity. |
