Klipsch Cornwall IV and Luxman Integrated


Has anyone had the experience of using a Luxman Integrated Amp with the Klipsch Cornwall IV ? Any suggestion to which might be better suited?

Hard to know. I had a pair of Cornwalls and preferred my Coda CSIB to the Leben CS600. Never would have thought that if I didn't have them both in my living room.

I have a 550AXII it's a great amp but haven't heard it with the CW4's. Should be fun, I found the CW to like a little power.

I had a Leben 300XS with the Forte IV and it was a good combination. I had the Coda CSIB with the Cornwall IV and thought that was great, better than the EL34 combo but that's all I tried with them. I heard the CW4 with the little Luxman tube amp and wasn't a fan.

@oceanandmountains Same to you! So when the rubber meets the road the Cornwall IMO was the speaker to be made. Kind of the same way the O/96 was meant to be made. As the product fills the market, lower cost items are introduced out of necessity to keep the business going (fill that next market) . Although good in themselves they don't quite meet the original in scale, ease, breathing room- dynamics, etc.

Forte great, CW better, but much bigger and not for everyone.
