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 new Tannoy Cheviot! I really did not enjoy them, hard to explain why. There was a lot missing in the mids and highs, wasn’t for my taste.

@donsachs , 

Hi Don!  I started to put together a parts list to modify the crossover caps.  I like VCAP much. I've used their CuTFs before.  Can you shed some light on where one could cut corners a bit to save cost?  The reason I ask is that the mods you did come up to $896 in caps--

All values *2 loudspeakers
2.7 uF $87
2.2 uF $84
6.8 uF $101
1.5 uF $82
4 uF $94

I may do the VCAP ODAMs on 2.7, 2.2 and 6.8 and try something more affordable on the other values.

@earlflynn,  you say, "Hersey are nice with low powered tube amps also, one could do better though than any Klipsch speaker."

Can you explain what you are saying here?  I'm confused as to your point and the context for your experience.  Thanks!

It is just a rant from someone with little to no experience with klipsch speakers in an optimum setting. Nothing to see here …………
