My first inclination is to agree with you. I don't expect that you will hear much of difference. How much noise can be injected through the output of your amplifier? There is probably a better benefit in just making tight mechical connections with your existing wiring. B&W recommends that the resitance in your wiring be no more the 300 milliohms. That includes how the wiring is secured to your amp and speakers combined regardless of the run length. Do you have a 4 lead milliohm meter?

Replacing the lines? I'm assuming the lines are power lines. Were the lines hardwired or removable be design? In either case, a open ground line either through workmanship or defective material could be the problem and any additional shielding would be beside the point. Boutique power cables are a comforting extravagance. I bought one for my DENON 9000 DVD player. Do I hear an improvement? Not really, I'm just erring on the side of overdesign.

Thanks! Maybe I just need new glasses? Take My Life But Don't Take My Klipsch! []

Hello, I'm new here as well. The bashers are correct. Klipschhorns can be harsh. Klipschhorns only give you what you put in them. If your source is harsh then the KHorns respond accordingly. If the sound seems overly bright to you then a change needs to be made other than the speakers. Replace the DVD/CD player, Amp, Cables, Lousy recording, Phonograph needle anything but the Klipschhorns! The more I listen to my Klipsch, the more I realize the sky is the limit when it comes to quality sound reproduction through my Klipsch. Take My Life But Don't Take My Klipsch! []

Has Klipsch ever considered creating a compression driver for the horns they use in their present line of Reference Center Channels like the RC-7 that would more closely match the tweeter horns in the Heritage line? Or does any other company create compression drivers that would fit the RC-7 that aren't made of titanium? I have a brand new RC-7 and I can't bring myself to crack it open at the moment.

I've been doing a little research here at the Klipsch vaults attempting to learn more about my Cornwalls. Anyway, I read that the coil connected to the woofer (B crossover) measures 2.6 Henrys. That's a lot of inductance for a crossover! Usually a value in the 2.6 milliHenry range might be used in a low pass filter configuration. A 2.6 Henry choke could be used in a power supply filter. Am I challenging the design? Not at all, I'm just trying to understand. (?!) There must be something I've overlooked?

Thank you, Mr. Crites.

What I was trying to say is that on a recessed design the dimensions of the horn cutouts never change from back to front but a horn's dimensions continue to change up to it's opening. By using a router on the cabinet horn cutout, the horn cutout would change from back to front, creating a slightly larger opening at the front of the baffle similar to a horn's design. My apologies, the Cornwalls appear to be the original design. All the drivers are mounted on the inside and the back of the cabinet comes off. I'm a novice. I don't even know what I'm buying.

This is my first attempt at creating a home theater set up using any Klipsch Heritage and Reference speakers. My center is going to be an RC-7 and the front left and right will be Cornwall IIs. The two rears will be Heresy IIs. Does anyone have an expectation of the overall sound between the RC-7 and the Cornwalls? Timber problems? Tone problems? Have I already "mucked up" the set up? I'm sure that all the Heritage speakers will need Xover upgrades. I've only received the Heresy speakers so far. The others are in route.

Hello, I'm new to this forum and new to the Klipsch experience. Questions: Has Klipsch created an upgrade kit for the Cornwall II ? Has anyone considered using a router and a round over bit around the Cornwall horn openings to create a graduated transition from the horns to the outer surface of the speaker cabinet? Like making the cabinet part of the horn. You probably think I'm nuts now. Also, can someone contact Mr. Crites to learn more about his marvelous products? I must edit this post. It appears that the Cornwalls are the original Cornwall. The speaker cabinet backs come off and all the drivers are mounted inside the cabinet. The speakers were built in 1976. The Xover looks pretty simple at first glance. Two inductors and two capacitors. Is that enough for a three way speaker? Thanks in advance regardless of the answer.
