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?

One of the most interesting mysteries in audiophilia is why 

so many people like the Klipsch sound. I like horns in the midrange

but would rather listen to about any vintage Altec speaker or a newer

JBL than any Klipsch I have heard. Have owned them all.

This opinion is not about the Cornwalls but more on your source.
Is the 105 your CD/DVD/Streamer? No TT or other I assume.
If so before you buy another pair of speakers buy a separate DAC.
For $750 -Denafrips Ares2-you will improve your sound much more
than the speaker swap. Or about any Dac you buy.
Have you tried Decware Speakers?

You will be shocked-and I do not use that term lightly- by the improvement you will have by adding an external DAC like an Ares.
You may even find you can spend some time back with your CDs.
Try some XRCDs by JVC. Best sound I've found on digital.
