A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV
newer models are easier on the ears with the correct amplification. The same can be said of older models. A lot of people have listened to klipsch speakers with cheap receivers or SS amps. Not a good combination. I had 1976 khorns with Voti xov... 
Phono stage question
Just be aware that if you want to venture into low output moving coils, you will need a different phono stage or a step up tranny.I had an SLP-98 back in the 90s and thought it was just ok. The AI Modulus 3a was a far better preamp with a better M...

You guys are overthinking this. It's an outdoor party system. It doesn't have to be "optimized" or anything remotely close. It just has to play loud and clean and thump. No one is going to care after about 8 beers.Oz 
For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc.
I love the way @douglas_schroeder seems to dismiss opinions that don't coincide with his agenda. Very condescending behavior, but it's really nothing new.Oz

@forestg My dimensions are 15.5' x 26' and it's a dedicated room.

Head throbbing treble.   Searing treble w wrong amp.   To much treble.  As mentioned.  How much is klipscch paying you.  ?????Spoken like a true neophyte. Have you heard any of the recent klipsch offerings? My guess would be “no”.It’s always fashi... 
A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV
I have owned klipsch speakers in the past that I felt needed and benefitted from various upgrades. Even though better crossover parts would surely be an improvement, I don’t have any issues at all with the CW IV that lead me down that road. In my ...

@kcpellethead The CW IV is very satisfying without subs. But I have a large room and like the added fill at the lower frequencies. Most people would probably be fine with the speakers sans subs.Oz

@kcpellethead once they break in I think you will be mightily impressed. 
Shootout-- Primaluna Dialog HP Integrated/Carver Crimson 275/Elekit 300B

For anyone that thought I was one of the haters from my post, I assure you that's not the case...........

@jbhiller is getting slightly more than me, but I’ve been on the payroll a little longer.So here is my obligatory Cornwall plug of the week. The Cornwall IV is an awesome speaker and you should buy a pair.Now I just sit back and wait on the check.... 
A tale of two turntables
If you are going to compare Pro-ject to Rega, look further up in the Pro-ject line. As for @mijostyn's comments, my Xtension 10 is a solid piece of gear that uses opposing magnet footers to isolate the (very heavy) table and magnets to assist the ... 
Phono Stage, How much do I need to spend, New or used.
I think maybe the OP didn't communicate what he is hearing correctly. I don't think he is talking about SPL  or dynamics. Maybe he means referring more to the illusion of the soundstage filling the room? And that could just come down to the record...
