Klipsch Cornwall IV


Hello all,

I'm interested in what people who have heard the speaker feel about it. I currently run spatial M3 turbos and have an all tube analog setup ( line magnetic, hagerman ) with an oppo 105 being the digital front end.


Previous speakers have been acoustic zen, reference 3A, Maggie 3.6, and triangles. I am more concerned with a huge immersive sound stage than I am with pinpoint imagery. I have a big room and have plenty of space between the back wall and my speakers if I need it.


Any thoughts?

Moth Audio has been closed for over 15 years. Craig Uthus moved on and started Eddie Current, which makes some very nice headphone amps. I believe certain models can drive speakers as well. 


That's a good point about the variety of amps that can drive these things with ease. My LM 518 shouldn't have a problem at all.
@simao  I had a 518i a while back and it is indeed a great amp, it wasn't the best pairing with horns. I used it with Forte IIIs and a pair of Khorns. I loved many things about the sound, but it could be a little "strident" at times. Then again, the cornwall IV has a much smoother sounding horn than either of those, so you might be ok. Good luck, interested to know how this combination works out.

As for power, you will be fine. I am driving mine with 16 watts of Aric power and it is plenty.

Color me as another very happy CW IV user. Got mine about 2 months ago from Cory @ paducah home theater, referred to by @ozzy62. Got an incredible price, shipped free to my home in FL in 3 days. Delivery driver brought them right into my garage. I’m running them with my fully restored Marantz 2385. I have a brand new Technics 1200g w/ Ortofon 2M black. I also run a TEAC X-2000r R2R and the sound is just incredible. The sound seems to improve every time I turn my stereo system on. Clear, clean, powerful with a huge soundstage. Very smooth, no fatigue at all. Midrange is beautifully smooth, plenty of bottom end punch and highs are very nice and widely dispersed.
@simao , yes, as jayrossi said, Moth Audio has been closed for many years. It was a quixotic partnership (literally, out of Hollywood), ultimately unsustainable, that produced great sounding amp-art that looked retro-futuristic and fantastic, like something out of Flash Gordon. Craig has stayed available to service my amp from time to time, and modded it with an outboard power supply that really took it to another level a few years ago.
