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?

The most simple mod is to make sure you connect your speaker wire to the mid high terminal and make or get a serious jumper to go to the woofer terminal. The stock jumpers are crap.  Bi-wiring would be even better.  Just use some cheaper thick wire for the bass as a starter....will blow your mind.

@donsachs , Fascinating report on your crossover upgrades, Don. I’m tempted but don’t really have the skills. You should offer a drop in replacement crossover board! I’d certainly buy it, and I’m sure many others would, too. Just a thought. Well, more of a wish!

If you have Spatial audio ,the natural evolution is the x3,x5/
they have a horn like wave guide to what many consider 
the best AMT driver out there this modified Beyma  driver has a 7 inch wave guide and does the critical midrange and tweeter 
with -0  crossover in the signal path ,great 12 inch midBass 
and powered low Bass from 90 Hz down . Buy the upgraded 
Xover withThe VH audio  Odam capacitors. Great speakers 
they are on my to do list next year.

@ricevs the best jumpers are no jumpers. remove the back plate and combine mid-high wires to the wires on the bass binding post. You eliminate a lot of cheap metal in the signal path to boot.

I had the Spatial Audio X3 and sold them for the Cornwall IV.
