Klipsch speaker choices

Thanks for the Tip Dale. I'll give you an update in a week or so.

My Cornscala Type "B" are due to arrive this week. My choice was one of economics. I wanted the Cornwall IV...but a $2000 price hike pushed me to the Cornscala. I’m in the process of putting together what will be my future retirement gift to myself and a listening room. I figure the Cornscala’s will be a good start and at $2300 including shipping, I thought they’re worth the gamble.
You won't find me listening to classical or jazz however. I'm ready to stream some blues and Led Zepp.

My Cornscalas arrived. They are a brute of a speaker and until I set them up, I never realized how much room they're going to take to set up correctly. Mine arrived with one speaker's woofer cables disconnected. Found this after I called Crites and was told to take the back off and make sure the connections were secure...they were not and the connection felt loose. No troubles, just put them back on and crimped them tighter.
These speakers rock the classic rock like no tomorrow which is what I wanted. Vinyl sounds especially good, but I am still "rebuilding" to a better audio only system. I'm running an old Yamaha RX-V1300 receiver which is far from being perfect and hopefully will be replaced over the next few months with a McIntosh MA8900...still working overtime at work to make that happen. I then want to add a decent streamer to the mix. Currently I'm streaming TIDAL via my Oppo 103 and using the DAC in the Oppo since it is most likely higher quality than the older Yamaha.
So, presently I am still listening and planning. I'll hang on to them for the foreseeable future, but if the real estate on the floor is needed, I may have to jump for a pair Forte' III.

I have not heard the new Cornwall, but I have read that they are dynamite with the new midhorn. Google the Cornscala, you’ll find many references to them including the 2 way Cornscala "D". Like daledeee1 said, the Crites Cornscala line has been updated over the years in an effort to keep them current. I think the latest iterations have reportedly compared very favorable to the Cornwall and LaScala with more bass punch (in the case of the LaScala). For the price of the speaker assembled, you’re getting some quality components in a box made of Baltic Birch (like Klipsch used to assemble) for a very reasonable price. As a kit, if you’re a handyman and have the means to assemble one, they’re lower cost even still. I know many owners continue to tinker with the speakers even after they have built them. I do not plan on doing so, other than finishing the cabinet if I decide to keep them.

I'll evaluate further and then decide on what direction I'll go. Like I said, my HF Hearing loss has made my listening to speakers a bit more subjective than most. My nearest Klipsch dealer is about 80 miles away, so I might have to plan a road trip to listen to the new CW IV and Forte III. The other thin I have to consider is the quality of the recording. That makes a huge difference.

I have had mine for 2 weeks now, Type B, and they do have good sound but I am going to install the ALK Crossovers. I am going to do so in hope of tweaking a bit more out of them especially at the upper frequencies. I have a 50% HF loss in my hearing due to Military Service and even with my hearing aids need some help in that regard. Otherwise, the Bass and Mid are very good as well as the soundstage, which I will be working with by moving the listening area around a bit. Like Dale said, they are large...nearly identical in size to the Cornwall and are like the Klipsch "old school" construction like my previously owned 1983 Heresy's in raw birch. The final factor in listening to them will be when I upgrade to a better integrated amp. I'm currently looking at McIntosh with Autoformers as my first choice.
