What Horn loaded speaker/ speaker system for $10k'ish and under
No doubt those mods bring the performance up a notch. But unless you’ve addressed the cabinet resonances as the LS II did, you are not all the way home. Edit I see you did modify the cabinets. Good job 👍

Cornwall IV will definitely have “more” bass than the LS, but it won’t have the quality of horn loaded bass. And the CW can’t compete with the midrange of the LS.    LS + subs is the way to go.

I have LS IIs. Had khorns a few years ago. For me LaScalas + 2 subs is better than khorns. They just push all my buttons so I think they will be here a while. Hard to beat horn loaded bass and 104 db efficiency.

If you liked LaScalas but want something more refined, consider the LS II or the AL5. Much better than vintage LS.

I had the UPS store package and ship a pair of PBN Montana SP2 speakers. They arrived in pieces. They put an 80 lb speaker in a single box with nothing but popcorn packing material.  Completely destroyed. Luckily they paid the claim. Never again.  
Schiit Freya Modes: Subjective vs Objective Differences
For anyone who has a system that is passive friendly, check out the Hattor. Audio offerings. Hard to beat when compared to other passive devices.
