If you buy a used pair, if they don't work out, you can probably flip them with fairly low financial loss; Cornwalls are always popular.
I like them when they are driven by lower-powered tube amps. The do give you the dynamics and liveliness of horn-based systems, but they require some care in reducing the tendency to sound rough or shrill (hence the right kinds of tube amplification).
