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'm in Chicagoland and happy to host anyone that wants to hear them. Mine are, however, sporting upgrading caps and resistors in the crossovers and upgraded binding posts--if that matters. 
Wanted to thank @donsachs and @jbhiller for the guidance and encouragement on the crossover upgrade. While not my first time soldering I would still consider myself a "beginner" with circuit board work. Honestly the project is not difficult and really only requires patience and methodical work. It took me about 4.5 hours to complete. I've been hesitant to do the upgrade but Don Sachs kept nudging me saying I haven't heard what the speaker is capable of. I'm glad he did and he gave me the confidence I would succeed. If you are planning on making the Cornwalls your long term reference, no need to be intimidated by the upgrade. If I can do it, so can you.
So for anyone doing a demo on the Cornwall IV vs. Forte IV !   Let me suggest you play the opening of  SRV 's "Crossfire"   on both.  not many speakers can reproduce that like the Cornwall or K Horn.   The Forte does a pretty good job, but that track clearly demonstrates the Cornwall's sense of scale.   Play it on both , if your room and wallet allow you will be sold on the Cornwall
or play most any Bill Evans live recording, or Oscar Peterson live, or .... well you get it..... Scale, power, and if you improve the crossover parts, the micro detail is amazing and no trace of brightness

There are a lot of great speakers in the world, and this is certainly one of them.
