Guttenberg's Cornwall IV Review -- I'm in trouble


https://youtu.be/M8H3Wx80V3Y

He directly compares the Cornwall IV to the Forte III (which I own).  This is dangerous for me because his points on the differences between the C-wall and Forte hit home.  

I'm calling the credit cards telling them any purchase involving audio in the next 60 days should be flagged as fraudulent! That should stop me, right? 

Kidding aside, I'm dying to hear the Cornwall IV.  If you have heard them, please chime in!

6K is the MSRP. They can be had for much less. If you cant work out a deal to get them for $4800 or less your doing something wrong. I got my Forte 3's for $3100 (4K MSRP).

Cornwall's can be placed on Dolly's with Isolation Mat's to make them a breeze to move around. Many people prefer to have them aimed crossing in front of you instead of pointing at your ears. YMMV
  I have the same dilemma. Have Forte III's brand new in the box. 3 Weeks after I bought them the Cornwall's came out. The Forte's are also suppose to be a bit of a pain to setup/sound properly where the Cornwall's are a breeze.  Me thinks im gonna have to beg the dealer to take the Forte's back in trade towards the IV's.  On the AUDIO CIRCLE website there is a guy who proclaims the Forte's are a better all around performer than the more dynamic Cornwall's. He also performed improvements to the Forte 3 (Which has no bracing in the cabinet from the factory believe it or not). He braced it, Added something like Dynamat and designed/upgraded the crossover with premium parts. Stellar results he reports. A KIT to do this upgrade yourself (If your savvy enough) will supposedly be made available shortly by GR RESEARCH who is a sponsor of the Audio Circle page. Check it out.
