  1. I am on my second pair of CF4. I have not owned the Cornwall IV, so I haven't ABed them. A couple of thoughts: The CF4 is less sensitive, so it can't be a watt for watt race The caps in the CF4 might need to be refreshed to get the detailed sound that they should have The Cornwall's woofer is ~ 176"^2 and the CF4s' are ~ 226"^2, so fed enough watts, the CF4 should be louder 3,000 clams sounds high, but I'm not there Invite the seller over (with his offerings) to experience the Cornwall IV and you can all AB them.
  2. Comprehension or credibility? You might find it "hard to believe" what I stated, but you're talking about AVS and I am talking about McIntosh, Sansui, Marantz, Luxman, and other two-channel discussions and such. I can imagine people in the AVS world with their HT not understanding what is sought after in the stereo world. There are a lot of people who still enjoy Dynaco tube amps and such, and guess what speakers they like the best. I still have my Dynaco ST70, Mac MC30s, Amps & Sound, Audio Research and a few other tube amps. Most are asking about the Heresy IV, Forte IV, and Cornwall IV, and some are asking about the new LS.
  3. On other online pages, people are constantly asking which Klipsch speaker to get for their current amps or what amp to get for their new Klipsch speakers. Most of the questions pertain to the Heritage line.
  4. I appreciate you sharing that. It was obviously meant to blister the individual who had to catch that hot potato (hot tater works, too). That question is understandable and is deserving of a legitimate answer: ~ ‘The reason is because we here at Klipsch are doing what we can to not suffer what our competition has. JBL, Altec Lancing, Electro Voice and many others are all but out of business. We are listening to our customers and promoters. Although the Heritage line is less than 5% of sales, the publicity from our supporters help the Klipsch reputation / brand and is what makes up for the success of the other 95%. Without our supporters, Klipsch would not have been known by the masses. As far as what has sold, it’s similar to the automotive industry, there are very few individuals who "change" their Klipsch Heritage speakers and those advances, and does not hurt Klipsch sales. The curb alert low dollar Alert section helps Klipsch. Similarly, the Restoration and Modification sections help Klipsch sell too.”
  5. And the ones who work hard, do without, eat Ramen noodles, and reinvest in the company are charging too much money? This is one of those "it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool" times.
  6. Nope, not you. You'd never do that, would you?
  7. From the responses to what you've typed, you still don't know that you should step away from your keyboard? It's not what you're saying, it's where you're saying it.
  8. This forum and the company thrived for more than 20 years with what you're calling bull on here. Evidence shows that it didn't work out as the wise thing to do. Due to what happened, members who gave money and speakers to the museum stopped giving and left. Members who were on here spoke highly of this place and Klipsch in general and those feelings changed, and for a good reason.
  9. IIRC, the minimum wage in 1985 was ~ $3 per hr. From what you have typed in this thread, I can see why you're not making 3x that wage.
  10. Merry Klipschmas
  11. Members from the good ol days
  12. Nice. I agree with others who said that Marantz and Klipsch do great together.
  13. Hope that you're looking at it as an opportunity.
  14. I hope that Klipsch will continue to Engineer, develop, and build speakers that are competitive and often superior to other offerings from the competition here in the USA. It's understandable that the earbuds and other lesser-quality parts can be made elsewhere.
  15. Now for the real question: What's going to happen to the Forum? Yep, the most important thing to think about.
  16. Is that an invite? I have heard the 1802 and own the MCM1900. I NEED this lol
  17. I have not owned or even listened to either amp. After a quick search, it appears the Anthem costs 10x as much. Only your ears know what you like, and ABing equipment is the only way to find out what you like best. I can say that sometimes less is more. Often, a low-watt something will sound larger than most AVRs. On the flip side (for maximum loudness), it's best to have 2x to 3x the power needed to keep the speakers from clipping. Yeah, it's best to not do that.
  18. Yep, a good one. He had Khorns when he lived in KY. I should have bought his UGJ with the 1502. .... I want an 1802 to go with the MCM1900, but a 1502 will be okay lol. I have talked with him about the ones he is selling. If they were closer..
  19. Bob, the seller, is straight up.
  20. Besides there is very little traffic on this forum, most people here have too much.... no, that's not right - have all they need.... no, that's not right either - have all they can without a divorce, and it's tough to make a 'deal' here. Your price is way low, IMHO. Try to list them on one of the FB pages and the MP. GLWYS
  21. I totally agree, that is a great price for what they are, their condition and the stands. Do you have them listed on Marketplace? There is not a lot of traffic here.
  22. We have a day set, but not a time or any real contact info.
  23. And try to not take Schu's statement personally. Through the years, we have had many scammers and one-hit posters.
  24. The S/N is usually on the tags. Ex:
