Klipsch Cornwall IV

Hello all,

I'm interested in what people who have heard the speaker feel about it. I currently run spatial M3 turbos and have an all tube analog setup ( line magnetic, hagerman ) with an oppo 105 being the digital front end.


Previous speakers have been acoustic zen, reference 3A, Maggie 3.6, and triangles. I am more concerned with a huge immersive sound stage than I am with pinpoint imagery. I have a big room and have plenty of space between the back wall and my speakers if I need it.


Any thoughts?

I have a pair of Klipsch Quartet’s in my collection, have heard other heritage speakers, and agree with the previous poster that they are sufficiently ‘different’ to warrant an in home demo. You will either ‘get them’ or wonder what the fuss is all about.

They do some things extremely well, and other things not so well, so it really depends where your personal tastes lie. A bit like the Maggies really.

Based on what you say, you‘ll get plenty more “wow“ moments. They (Heritage series) really love even moderately powered tube amps of good quality. My JLH69 class A transistor amp sounds wonderful with my Quartet‘s, as does my Leben CS600.
