Klipsch, introduces The Cornwall IV, and I think it will be a killer !
The Volti Vittora, with it’s ELF, is a fabulous speaker system / music reproducer. It is quite expensive, and I truly believe, this new CW IV can do much of what this Vittora can do, especially in the typical associated room, with the proper front...

@jsautter , you, and others, come on here, a positive thread, in which happy Klipsch owners gather, and you speak negatively about you experiences. Nothing wrong with that, as this is an open forum. But, I do feel, as price goes up with equipment ...

I have not heard the CW 4s, but have heard the Forte 3s, and all of the other renditions of each model, before, and after, modifications. The CW 4 will have a much tighter and tuneful bass, a larger, more enveloping midrange, and a better balance ...

I won't even comment, as to the immature response to me. Enjoy ! MrD.

George, as usual, you are talking about drive capability (specs ), into extreme low impedance loads. ( 1 ) I would never own a speaker such as that ( 2 ) There are many fine mosfet designs out there ( 3 ) You obviously feel tube amps are not very ...

Wow....MOSFETS are for car stereo ? Really ? Mosfet mist ? Weak in the bass department ? A well designed mosfet amp, as I own many, do a very good job, at doing what I expect them to do, and would take any of them, over the Rowland Model 1. But, g...

Helo, I appreciate your response. Unlike you, I do accept, and appreciate, that not everyone listens the same, uses the same " references " when listening to recorded music, and that each individual, determines what it is that " they are after ", ...

" there is absolutely no good reason in buying a Klipsch speaker "....from the guy who thought, and probably still does ( and not so long ago ), that original Advents were the best there was, regardless of cost....I take what Helo says, with a sin...

I am not understanding, those that have dampened the mid and tweeter horns, and have not heard improvements, let alone, differences. Early on, the metallic horns were nasty, as they " rang ", and the later poly plastic horns, also have some resona...

OP, sounds like your mind is made up. Good luck, and enjoy ! MrD.

George, I am with you, not questioning you at all...Following the few posts by the OP, it appears he owns Maggies. A friend of his has ML, and purchased a Model 1.......The OP does not like mosfets either, including Pass......Opinions vary, experi...

Here is another perspective...Although it was a great amp in it’s day ( well built, single ended and balanced, switchable input impedance, bridge capability, ran the driver stage continuously, unless the rear power switch was off, during a vacatio... 
What would be involved in updating Hersey II’s to Hersey IV’s?
Actually, having 50 plus years, owning and fiddling with a particular brand, has certainly had a tremendous effect, and influence, on how I have listened to recorded music, and gave me a " reference ", to every other design and model, by others, a... 
What would be involved in updating Hersey II’s to Hersey IV’s?
@oddiofyl , fyi, there have been Heresy type speaker designs produced by Klipsch, for the live / pro side of their business, and the cabinets were ported, using a different woofer. These model 4s will be the best of the Heresy line, imo.
