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,

I have the voice of theater on a simple tube amp with redone crossovers. You could  always buy used audiogon section and hifi shark.enjoy the search.

My Heresy 4s work well in my 14x18 room. I like that they have a low profile, as this is my living room too. My amps have been anywhere for 3 watt to 100 watt. You'll want higher than 3 watts if you rock out. I have a REL sub, but don't always use it. That depends on what you like. I got a pair or Heresys from Hifi Heaven for $2399.98 shipped. That was 4 years ago. I feel that they get me very close to a Cornwall sound. They will grow with you as you get better electronics. I have a 100 watt Rogue Audio tube amp now that has great synergy with the Heresys. All the best

 

Cornwall 4 B Stock

I bought my Cornwall 4's as ("B Stock") on Ebay, link above. Could not figure out why they were labelled as such until I discovered months later that the plinth was slightly out of square. No biggie,

Older Lascalas and a pair of great matching powered subs, would be my destination. Another level up in "live" reproduction. My best, MrD.

Got to listen to KLH Model 7s at the Audio Advice Live show recently. I was mightly impressed. Suppose to be available next month. 6k with stands.
