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?

Thanks Don. That certainly carries weight. I don’t know them personally but Don and Bob are top cats in the craft:

Thanks for sharing Don. That is similar to my take on comparing the X3 with the CW IV. Both great speakers for sure, but the Cornwall just connects me to the music more than the Spatial did.

Okay, an update. I had the chance to listen to the Cornwalls today at The Sound Room here in st. Louis. It was a Klipsch Heritage event complete with artisan whiskey tastings. 



Impressions: the room was nicely treated acoustically. And Much Too Small for these speakers. The bass boom squelched the imaging I knew these speakers ard capable of. So e recordings I could sense their magic, but most others everything blendef into a haze of projection. 


And I could tellsomething was up when the sound rep kept pushing live Floyd and Eagles recordings as test tracks. Eff that. I had to insist on well-produced Tears for Fears and Dominique Fils-aime in there. 


I'll be demo-ing the Triangle Cellos next week. 

Cornwall's do just fine in small rooms. ZERO FIDELITY reviewed them on his youtube channel....his room is 9x12.  Mine is 13x15.  They work very well in all size rooms.  Triangle's have Jacked Up Tweeters so be prepared.
I've owned Triangles before. These Cornwalls in this room just seemed too muddy and smeary. YMMV
