Klipsch Cornwall IV

Listening to any speakers in a showroom sharing the space with other speakers, you will always hear bass problems ( all the woofers are playing, via spl ). It is basic acoustics. I know there are a lot of Klipschers out there, besides myself, but imo, if you listen loud ( I do, and with Heritage, you can and it is easy ), further damping on the horns, woofer frames, cabinets, crossovers ( and yes, the new model IVs as well ), will significantly improve what you are hearing. Not a single client of mine has ever said to me " I do not hear a difference of improvement ". Tubes vs SS. Whatever you like, as I prefer ss, through horns. MOSFET Class A, for me, anytime. Just what I like. Enjoy !

I am guessing, I might be the oldest Klipsch Heritage ( both in age and product familiarity ) follower, guru, user / owner, modifier, tweaker, out of all who is posting here ( even Mahlman ). I do believe to a large extent, the speaker needs to be matched to the room. I do not like the impression that I am " inside the horn ", as Mahlman and many of his devotees, taut highly. I am not suggesting that he and his clan are wrong, or that I am right, but it is an individual " taste ", or " flavor ", preferred. If I had a large enough room ( where I can be at a greater distance from the speakers ), I would own a pair of 3 way KPT Jubilee, and this is my personal take on it. I know of many on the Klipsch Forum who have these, and if they are happy with them in their smallish rooms.....well....that is fine........ The CW ( all of the 4 iterations ) can be easily used in a smaller room ( ex : 9 X 12 ), and can be listened to in the nearfield ( all ime ). Like anything, the room must be tuned / dealt with, when dealing with unwanted reflections and such. Cables and equipment....the higher the quality, the more they will give you. An older NAD 3020 amp ( recapped and gone over ), with 18 gauge zip cord will sound amazingly good. However, driven with a nice tube amp ( for specific reasons, I do not prefer tubes, or a Pass XA25 ( just as an easy example ), using the same wire, there will be an upgrade in overall SQ. Now, add better cables, and you just get.....MORE. Unless someone has had experience with better cables, and gear ( and I am referring to certain people here ), they will not know how much more they can get. Keep in mind....room acoustics, and speaker / listener orientation, has a huge impact on noticing and hearing these " more " sound qualities I, and many of us, speak of. Another thing.....I am the biggest advocate of eliminating ringing ( metal horns ) and resonance ( polymer horns ), and yes woofer frames and such, and the poster who did his CW IVs, knows the improvements he has received. They all have the imperfections ( at this and most price points ) and should be dealt with. We all are very specific, individual listeners, and the truth, after all...is enjoyment........This is all, for now. Be well !

Any speaker brand made, relative of selling price, can be modified and improved ( in most cases ) with better parts, specifically in the cross over.
