    How is the Klipsch Cornwall III sound ?

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Yeh,

    I am prepeared for a long wait. :) . The more I read about these speakers, the more it looks like the perfect choice for me.

    Now what is a big speaker? My previous speakers RF-83 where both taller and deeper then the cornwall's . But ofcourse around 3-4 times smaller in width. But there is another factor coming in here. The RF-83 had to be moved out from the wall abit also, wich made my living room smaller. This will not be the same issue with the Cornwall's I belive. I can probably push my whole stereo + tv rack more in towards the wall since the speakers isn't that deep, and doesn't have to stand many feet's from the wall.

    I belive the Cornwall's will be easier to integrate in the living room vs the RF-83 ;).

    Heh,

    Yeh I know they are big, but that is not a problem for me. ( My Gf may say something ;) . But I plan on building a house in a few years and I will have a big room in the bacement where I can put my speakers. Surround and stereo setup :) . I have yet to read anything negative with these speakers, so Iam quite sure I wont be disapointed.

    And no, Iam not a techno viking :) haha. Movie is hillarious though.

    :)

    Yeh I will remove the subwoofer so there should be enough place, not a problem to move everything abit to the left either :)

    I got an RC 62 inside that TV rack also and 2x Klipsch RSX 3 in the back. Thats why the Marantz surround receiver is there. My preamp has a "prossessor" input. Don't know if that is the right name of it, but basicly it meens I Use the Primare wich is a dedicated stereo pre amp as the pre amp in stereo. And The Marantz surround receiver is the preamp when I run in surround. Stereo 2 channel is my first priority though ;)

    Hey again,

    I ordered Cherry finnish. There is no Cornwall's in Europe atm so the order goes directly to Klipsch. So this can take some time :\ . I hope I get them sometime in the summer. I did also say that if some other finnishes shows up faster I would consider that to. Cause all 3 original finnishes will fit in my living room.

    This is a picture of how my setup was 1 month ago with My RF-83. Just for fun :) Have also changed my CRT with a samsung LCD.

    Hey,

    Iam from Norway and have been a Klipsch fan for quite some time :). Previous owner of RF-5 , and RF-83. I have just sold my RF 83 and ordered a pair of Cornwall III .

    Was wondering how these are sounding compared to RF-83, and if my gear is a good match ? . My electronics is : Primare pre 30 ( Sweedish pre'amp ). Mcintosh MC 275 IV power amp, and an Electrocompaniet PC-1 cd player. ( Norwegian company ).

    I really like to listen to acoustic guitar music, like Eric clapton , Jack johnson . And metal like Metallica, Maiden, ACDC . Also some techno.

    What I missed with my RF 83 was the midrange bass. It went really deep and the sound was clear and all that, but on music like ACDC I felt they where lacking some "punch" on the guitar riffs. This is what I hope I will get with the Cornwall's.

    Hope to get any input on this cause I have newer heard the Cornwall's. I have heard the Lascala's 2 though on mcintosh gear, and really loved the sound. Although they where lacking abit in the lower bass. Iam not into using a subwoofer in 2 channel stereo so that is why I went for the Cornwall.
