If someone has a really good suggestion for a amp, your are welcome.

If you want to improve the bass I suggest you an Onix RA125 amplifier: awesome, with good medium and terrific bass!!!

cornwall 3 for 2400€ or Cornwall 4 for 8000€. Is the 4 much better for this 5600€ extra?

HI Von Hoellert,

I'm located in Italy, I had Cornwall 3 for several years.

Some weeks ago I heard Cornwall 4 at my dealer: very good speakers, especially in the medium frequencies.

The dealer wants 4800 € for difference between 3 and 4: at this moment I think that 4 doesn't deserve this huge difference, but this is a very, very personal evaluation...

I like my Cornwall's 3 very much, maybe in the future I'll think about for an upgrade.  

[Upgraded Forte III to Forte IV - wow!]

Are better Forte IV or Cornwall IV? 😁

Do you like the 3s for female voices?

Good question!

I think the 3s are good for female voices but not very very good.

In my opinion sometimes there is a predominant in mid-low frequencies that afflicts typical clarity of female voice.

meaning  the Heresy IV will be superior in terms of vocals versus a Cornwall 3

and Cornwall IV? Maybe has the pros of Heresy IV and the pros of Cornwall 3?

[Female voices: Cornwall 3 or Heresy 4?]

Hi  all,

I have since several years a pair of Cornwall 3; my room is approximately 13 x 25 ft and my seating position is 9’ from the the speakers.

I love to listen to female voices: jazz, pop, folk, etc...

For this kind of music, in your opinion, which speaker is better? Cornwall III or Heresy IV?

 

[what amp for cornwall IV]

I had several amps in over 20 years: ss, tubes, hybrids, etc...

One of the best amp I've tried with my CW is Copland CTA402, a push-pull with 4 EL34s: amazing!!!

Very detailed sound and controlled bass, excellent soundstage and realistic voices: I love it! 😍

[Dedicated CD player or DVD player]

I have an Oppo 105 since 10 years and I think it's gorgeous! I compared it with several CD/SACD players (even Mc) and it is still my favorite player.

I use it with CD/SACD and also with BD (movies and concerts).

I can play Tidal with Oppo and maybe I'll buy only a decent DAC to upgrade the internal DAC of Oppo.

[Do You Hear That Dog Barking ?]

You can ear the dog at the beginning of Roger Waters's Amused to Death (amazing album at all, IMHO).

This is a serious test for any high fidelity system.

[Heresy III + subwoofer vs KLF30]

I am doing some tests with Heresy with an entry-level sub Velodyne.
I initially had a hard time with setting crossover and volume.
However once I've found the better balance I'm very much appreciating the result: amazing voices and great spaciousness with good bass (only when it is required).

I like it very much! 😘

  

[Heresy III + subwoofer vs KLF30]

In your opinion what is the best solution?

Normally Klf's have better bass, better punch and great capacity to fill the room with sound. 

Heresy's on the other hand have more clearity and amazing voices.

 

Can Heresy + sub give me the benefits of both?

[Klipsch Heresy Owners Group]

I have space, I have a sub BUT I haven't a pre-out on my 2 channel amplifier.. 😭

 

I use my sub only with HT amplifier.

are supplemented by Velodyne DD10 sealed box

Please could you tell me how do you link Velodyne to Heresy's?

I own Heresy III: what amazing speaker!!! The best with female voices!

 

[Heresy Speakers How Much Power]

I used in the past various amps: tubes (300b, EL34, 845) and solide state. Sometimes, for some kind of music, was better an amp, some others time another one.

 

Nowadays I run my Heresy's III with a McIntosh MA5200 (100wpc) and, in my opinion, I reached a perfect balance: warm sound, clearness and, when needed, very dirty ROCK! 😎

[Heresy's III different versions?]

the first one bought few weeks ago (ex-demo) from a dealer.

The second bought three years ago from a Klipsch fan 😉

 

Also original boxes are different.

[Heresy's III different versions?]

Hello everyone,

I have two set of Heresy III.

They are apparently identical, but rear labels are different:

 

 

In your opinion what are the differences ? (if there are).

 

Thanks,

[From KLF30 to La Scala: should I do?]

First of all,
I would like to thank all the participants in this thread.

the guy who sells LaScalas lets me listen to them only if I buy them: I'm sorry but this is not acceptable to me: I don't buy anything if I can't try before buying.
Now I will search a shop in which I can listen them.
I live in Italy and it isn't so easy to found a shop where I can found them.

I'm a bit more careful about my choise: I love my KLF30's and there are wonderful with the music I love.
Maybe I should buy something with more bass than Lascalas (Cornwalls? Fortes?)

So I'll let you know when I get to listen them.

Thank you againg for your useful advice. 😘
 

[From KLF30 to La Scala: should I do?]

Hi to all!

Near my house there is a boy that he's selling his La Scala's (1st series)

I have KLF30's (I love them!) but I am very, very curious to ear these legendary loudpeakers that I never heard.

In my room (about 410 fs) I would place them at the corners, far from listener about 12 feet.

I can't try them in my room (too big, too heavy...).

My favourite music genre is rock, blues, acoustic, famale jazz singers...

 

So I should proceed with this purchase? I would get a big improvement, in your opinion?

 

Thanks

[toe in vs toe out ?]

With my KLF30's I'm trying toe-in 50 degrees (crossed about 3 ft ahead of me): what surprise!!!

Great details, great stage!

Finally the dog of Roger Waters's Amused to Death is where it should be 😅

[KLF30 vs Forte II]

I got to listen to Forte II's: great speakers! 

I really like their richness on high frequences and the reality on mid.

I was only a bit disappointed about low range: they lack bass! How is that possible?

They should have more bass than my KLF30's (they start from 32hz vs 36hz KLF's)

Maybe they was placed too far from rear wall? (about 3,2 ft)

[KLF30 vs Forte II]

Hello!

I have for many years KLF30's: I love them!

Next Saturday I'd like to go to my dealer to hear a couple of vintage Forte II.

 

What differences could I expect? 

 

Thanks
