Cornwall 4 vs JBL horn under $10,000

Want to try a horn speaker with new Wellsenton R8( upgraded tubes) amp. My first experience with tubes and horns. Have read a lot about Cornwalls 4 and was about to purchase but thought about JBL’s. Want to stay under $10,000 and new or used.Any thoughts or recommendations?

i finally got hearings aids 

I’ve got 60% hearing loss, above 1000 hz and tinnitus 

live with it , is my answer 

I love answering phone thru my hearing aids

i smell things lots better, kinda like a dog

I just went to AXPONA and enjoyed it 

yep, things change and you will adjust 

your soundstaging perception sure will not be the best 

you can still appreciate hifi and I hear things my hifi buddies can’t as well

Transients and leading and trailing edges are really highly developed, now

Very nice realistic vocals with the JBLs. Guitar is very nice, realistic.

Guitar is there in spades through the Klipsch. Too much presence on the vocals, that’s the two horns used by Klipsch. My 2 cents.

If it were me, try and audition JBLs or Altecs.

The mid horns of the CWIVs need to be damped, immediately.
