I ordered my pair from Cory. He shipped them out same day. Shipped on Thursday and arrived the following Tuesday. Couldn’t be happier with his (and Steven) customer service. Shakey

Well I can heartily recommend the CW IV. You won't be sorry. Shakey

It was not too many years ago I drove an hour and a half to pick up some Cornwall IIs that were almost mint. Got em' for 600.00. The lady's husband had passed. She had cornwalls, two pair of heresys and a beautiful pair of Khorns, all for sale. Things have certainly changed. Shakey

But surely you aren't saying that two amplifiers from different manufacturers with identical power ratings that measure the same will sound the same? How about two preamplifiers? Or two cd players? I'm not even going to bring up cables, that's a discussion for another day. Shakey

When you think about it, whether measurements would confirm the theory of break in or negate it, it really doesn't matter. Just like two amplifiers measuring the same doesn't mean they will sound the same. I'm not saying measurements aren't important, but everything that can be heard cannot be measured. I just sold a pair of speakers that exhibited changes all the way up to the 300 hour mark. I'm pretty sure my ears didn't become acclimated to the sound, they just gradually improved over time. Shakey

I’m going to bump this up and offer it for 175.00 to anyone who wants to pick it up. It’s brand new! Shakey

Well I did notice lol. Cory got them to send me the correct one, so we good.

I received the wrong manual with my Cornwalls so I have a Heresy IV manual if anyone needs it. Just let me know and I’ll mail it out. Shakey

Abso-friggin-lutely......... Tubes just push my buttons, in a good way. Shakey

I can't say they'd be any less a bargain than the plethora of original CWs at 1500.00. Shakey

Understood. Horns more than any speaker I have experienced are very sensitive to front end and amplification components. That's why I always tell newbies not to cheap out when it comes to what you pair with horn speakers. Mass market receivers, cheap digital amps, processors used as preamps, etc... have no place with a speaker that can potentially take your head off. Careful matching is in order. I wouldn't say my Music Reference RM9 II/Don Sachs preamp are world class, but they are very capable. Especially the RM9. Just try to find one of these if you can. When you do, expect to pay a premium. My point is that I don't think my associated equipment is a bottleneck for CW IVs. Shakey

Nice rig.👍 Shakey

If either of you is interested in selling, there needs to be an asking price listed. Shakey

According to most reports, if happier customers were all they were concerned about, they would have skipped the CW III completely and gone straight to the IV. But obviously they couldn't make the IV at the retail price of the III. Every time you improve something, end user cost goes up, generally speaking. And as far as I know, returning a Heritage speaker to the dealer because you don't like it isn't an option. At least that's what I've been lead to believe. I agree, let the reader decide for him/herself. If you can't hear a difference after some time, then no big shakes to me. I can't convince those people that all amps aren't the same and cables and power cords make an audible difference. To each his/her own. Shakey

Whatever they could devise would add to the bottom line of the speaker. We can all have a warm fuzzy feeling about Klipsch, the American company that builds in the USA, and whatever else. But they are in the business to make money. I bet even if Roy told them this would add to the finished product he would be shot down. Even if it adds twenty bucks to the build of the speaker, that cuts into the profit. Business is business........

No, they wouldn't. There isn't a lot of margin on a 6K pair of speakers. And time is money. If they took the time to play each and every pair of speakers for 100 hours before packaging and shipping, how much do you think that would a) subtract from the profit margin, or b) add to the retail price Now I don't believe a speaker that is unlistenable out of the box is going to turn into some fantastic gem in a month or two. But I do believe that speaker break in is real and I have heard it for myself on many occasions. I don't need Bob Crites or even Paul Klipsch himself to validate my opinion or negate it. Doesn't matter to me. Shakey

Not sure what your budget is, but here is one I would consider. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa46b9-quicksilver-quicksilver-integrated-amp-tube Shakey

Yeah, this

Wrong! I have used tube amps exclusively for the last 20+ years. I assure you that Tool, Screaming Females, God%amn Gallows, Fight, and any other intense or busy music is well served. A good tube amp will not only sound good with Anthrax, but will sound better than many thin and sterile SS amps. This goes double for any mass market receiver. Shakey

Please don’t buy a receiver. There should be an intervention for people thinking like that. Look at a nice, low to medium powered tube integrated. Shakey

Welcome to the forum and thank you for your service. Enjoy your la scalas. Shakey

under 3k$ Yes indeed

I had 1987 Cornwalls and a pair of cornscalas. These are head and shoulders above either of those.

You are really going to like these speakers. I've had mine for a week now and they are the real deal. Congrats! Shakey
