Speaker Suggestions for Next Move

I think the Volti recommendation would be a natural progression for you, especially the Lucera. I had thought about that one myself.

But I have another suggestion. I have been living with the Qualio IQ speakers for about two months now and they are very impressive. Our rooms are of very similar dimensions and they have no problem pressurizing and filling the room. They do what you would expect an OB to do, but with very impressive bass down to the upper 20s. Your budget would allow the Ultra version, which I have no experience with, but it adds better xover components.

I have an extensive history with Klipsch Heritage speakers. I did in fact own the CW IV for about a year. My last klipsch speaker was the Lascala II, which I absolutely loved. I can tell you that the IQ does everything the LS could do and ups the game with better resolution and refinement. The soundstage is just as wide, but much deeper. And dynamics are a toss up between the two.

Hello @ozzy62 , Good to see you chime in here as I recall your history with the Heritage line and several excellent discussions with you in the past!

I'm off to look at Qualio IQ per your recommendation. THANK YOU!

@jbhiller Curiosity killed the cat. I know Cornwalls well and I know for a fact they are capable of much more than the usual set up. They can get very close to the state of the art with the right electronics. They can image much better and have more depth, much more depth. Instead of buying new loudspeakers I suggest you get a new preamp, a digital processing one. I have turned several sows ears into silk purses this way. On the low end is the MiniDSP SHD followed by the SHD Studio with outboard DACs. The there is the Anthem STR, the Trinnov Amethyst and finally the DEQX Pre 4 and 8. What these processors will do is remove any group delays, integrate subwoofers perfectly and most importantly will EQ the system so that the frequency response of both channels is identical given the space they are in also known as room control. After the processor does it's thing you can EQ the system to sound exactly the way you want. With the Pre 8 you can even triamp your Cornwalls. You will never look back and you will lose any interest in new speakers. 

The only good reason to look at other speakers is if you want to switch to a line source system like the Magnepan 3.7i and 20.7 or Sound Labs ESLs. These speakers will give you a larger life like image at the expense of maximal volumes and efficiency. The reason Cornwalls have the potential to be so good is they are very efficient and like Dipoles have very controlled dispersion  which minimizes room interaction. They are not built to the same level of quality as a Magico or Wilson speaker which means there is more variability between speakers which causes issues with imaging. A digital preamp fixes this problem perfectly so that the channels are even more identical than the finest speakers. 

Classic Audio Reproductions have some interesting high efficiency loudspeakers that are probably a step up from the Cornwalls.  They are highly customizable.

I'm on board with the Volti recommendations also heard the Rivals a few times and really love them. I've not heard the new Lucera which I'm sure is fantastic. I also think staying with horns is a good idea as you may miss that live quality horns give you.

That said Fyne, Spendor Classic, and Devore are all fine choices I'd be hard pressed to choose between them though the Classic 100 or older versions in the 100 series are definite favorites.
