Klipsch Cornwall IV


I have a pair of nearly new Klipsch Cornwall IV speakers for sale on this site. I am looking for opinions on the current status of the market for these loudspeakers. My ad has an asking price of $4300, which I believe is more than reasonable considering this pair is in mint condition and the price of a new pair is almost 7k. I see Forte IVs for sale for about the same asking price as Cornwall IVs. So, what gives, has the market for these collapsed? My ad has been up for a while and there hasn't been one inquiry about this ad.

It's difficult to be a seller in this market. I have a couple of items that I'm selling for less than anything out there and less than anything that has sold recently. They haven't sold yet.

When I upgraded my speakers, the company was going to resell my KEF’s.  They said how they would be an easy sale.  They were about 6 months old at the time and in mint condition.  This was last December and I’m still waiting for that quick sale!

The shutdown hasn’t helped matters either.  ☹️

The Cornwall was $6000 now more.  They are big.  

I see lots of stuff not moving.  Best of luck.

Nothing to do with snobbery...you increase risks when you buy/try to sell a polarizing sound (lock yourself out from a percentage of buyers, by default).

Some flaws of some these Klipsches can be fixed, but, not everyone may put the time into it.

If it was a fabulous heirloom speaker as is, you would keep it, wouldn’t you? (Not be trying to sell it and whine because you got low ball'd or whatever)

 

Yes, I realize there's lots of Klipsch hate out there. Klipsch certainly doesn't have the audiophile snob appeal that others have. However, Cornwall IVs have gotten many rave reviews recently. My pair is up for sale not for any reason except I need to raise some cash.

The Klipsch Cornwall is a flawed poor-sounding speaker in all its iterations. There are better speakers available for less money.

 

While I agree with you, this might not be the best thread to post that.
