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?

Can anyone summarise the thread and pin it... like to get a clear story of what was upgraded and some pics/pricing tips ... good work guys but if I want to do the same kinda upgrade i think more details would be great...

ps I see a guy on eBay selling a CWIV pair ready made with Nedlab capacitors, Erse coils. any thoughts? 

ramble: when I got my CWIVs I tried to tighten the terminals onto my Nordost cables and they snapped used very little force! Luckily the dealer swapped out the speakers... the are very soft metal... which would be ok if the were pure copper... but just cheap I guess ... Graham in UK

I had Manaplanar 2.5 so getting a bit more 3D image from upgrade would be great... Roon with a DSP curve to tame the top and boost the bottom is great... but still a bit edgy for me on some tracks... even tho I am 300b tubes. Great speakers and worry I may become deaf! 

Uh, it's all in there. Why not sort through it yourself? You'll learn something.

Can anyone verify what the crossover frequency is for the mid range driver for the Cornwall IV.

Thanks

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.

I can say the same thing about any speaker out there. Some people buy what they think makes them look impressive to others, what makes them look impressive to themselves, or what actually sounds good to themselves. Buy and enjoy what sounds good to you.
