Again, I can't argue with that, because I haven't heard either of those speakers. It's been a long time since the Epics were designed, and I don't doubt that the Cornwall IV's are superior. I wish that I could afford to find out.
Having said that, I'm still surprised to think of how many good speakers I have had that didn't sound as coherent as the Epics. I really think it has something to do with all of the treble and midrange coming out of one horn; and as far as the bass goes, it just breathes better than most other speakers I've owned with the possible exception of the Spendor SP100,
which had a good, but different sort of bass. The Nestorovic 5As also had good bass.
