Less expensive alternatives to Klipsch Heritage Cornwall IV?

Hi,

I'm no audiophile, listening to mainly rock/symphonic metal and classical. 

Recently listened to some Frozen Crown and Dragonforce on a friend's Klipsch Heritage Cornwall IV. Of course it was amazing. But, I don't know what I don't know. I'm looking for a set of speakers that have similar (may not be as "good") characteristics as my friend's, and don't cost $7500. My room is about 20' x 15', amp is an old Pioneer Elite. Any directions as to where to search for that set of speakers are much appreciated. 

I did a Google query, and the following names came up: Klipsch Heresy IV, Klipsch Forte IV, Polk Audio R700.

 

Thank you,

Altec Stonehenge 1’s will rock out better than those speakers listed above. I have a pair plus several more Altec’s in my collection. I paid less than $500 for my pair.

The late Art Dudley loved his Altec Valencia's/Flamenco's. The modern version is the Altec 19. They will certainly trounce any Klipsch!

These will be very similar to the CW IV. Maybe not as good in stock form, but there are mods to do that will bring them pretty close. Says "sold out", but I would reach out and ask. I had a pair of these about 12 years ago and they are pretty good.
