Don't have CW, but have Forte II's. I can tell you the cabinets are very high quality. They look like high quality furniture. Fit in perfectly with the furniture in my room.
Agree the horns can be a little forward, and fatiguing. There is also a HUGE active Klipsch community. From my research on Klipsch, there are a few things to adjust the speakers.....
1. Dampen the horns. I removed mine, and put Dyanmat on them. This mellowed them out, made them a little warmer, generally smoothed them out.
2. Crossovers, there are several types, but "steep slope networks" completely change the speakers. I'm waiting on mine to be built.
3. Placement, the consensus is you want the left speaker firing over your right shoulder, and the right firing over your left shoulder. They should be closer tougher than the distance to you.
For me, they have a HUGE soundstage, it's a wall of sound! They go LOUD and DEEP. Are very precise to the recording, that is both good and bad. Poor recordings sound poor, but good ones sound great. It's hard to explain, but at higher volumes these speakers have weight. Like the sound has a weight behind it. I LOVE THEM!
