New Klipsch Conwalls (IV)

Very happy with my modded CWIV. They’re quite good stock, but as @audioman58 noted, they can be seriously improved by upgrading the caps and resistors in the crossover and damping the horns, ports, and woofer baskets. Big improvement from changing the binding posts to WTB NextGen, too. Now they’re perfectly at home at the end of an all tubes and vinyl chain that would warrant much pricier speakers. I’ve tried them with several amps, using various tubes and topologies; 300B SET is the best for me, with plenty of power and all that wonderful nuance and musicality. Don’t underestimate these speakers! Careful placement and toe-in will also change their sound dramatically, as will putting them on something like Herbie’s Giant Gliders to tighten up the bottom. One of these days I’ll try damping the cabs, but they sound so good now I have not felt the need.

Loving my CW IV’s with LTA MZ2 as integrated amp with one wpc.  But I’m breaking bad later this year and moving up to a Decware with 2.3wpc.  Watch out!

It’s been a minute since I posted this….I picked 

 a pair about a year and a half ago and did all the mods 

mentioned above and man what a difference. They are an endpoint

for an all VPI analog front end and I am mesmerized 

every time I drop the needle. I did make some silver 

speaker cables and this only added to the transparency.

I've had the opportunity to spend a couple of hours listening to the CWIV in a less than ideal setting (smallish room), driven by a very high end tube amp (forgot the brand, price was around 12000 for an integrated)

It still is to this day one of the most musical systems I've heard. The midrange and treble on the IV is far, far better than any previous version. The CWIV communicate Music with a warm, inviting musicality and a big sound. It's not your overly transparent Magico speaker, but it certainly is refined enough for all but the most picky ears and communicates scale, micro and macro dynamics, and textures with ease. 

If I was in the market for my last pair of speakers, the ones that will accompany me to the grave, I would seriously consider the CWIV.
