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,

btw, take a look at my horns mounted vertically, and both the Cornwall Horns and Electrovoice 250 Midrange horn in the Marquis being mounted horizontally (note electrovoice t350’s are vertical in both mine and the Marquis).

The Electrovoice Horns in my speakers have mouth shapes that accomplish the opposite of what they appear, mounted vertically, they limit the vertical dispersion, and specifically deliver wide dispersion.

My midrange is actually two horns on a single driver, called a ’Compound Diffraction Projector’, model 847 CDP on page 26 here. Fisher chose to use it in my Uncle Johnny’s Fisher President II, which I inherited in 1973. Thus my speakers can be considered 4 way, although the crossover is 3 way.
