Any claim I might have to be sane is due to music and reading. Since I was too lazy to practice my musical talent is limited to changing the artist and adjusting the volume. I have a serious illness. I have five systems between the house and garage and could assemble seven. Looking at the gear on Audiogon shows me I only need to win two or three lotteries to fulfill my illness' dreams.

Looking at the slope of the ceiling and guesstimating the distance necessary from the sides, because of the 38" height of the Cornwall IVs, they will be closer together than recommended by Klipsch. As they are in my house. Toeing in more severely than you might think proper will widen your sound stage as well as the sitting area for listening. I would concern yourself also over the temperature of the room and your Mac tube amp, my having grown up with my bedroom at the top of structures with those sloped ceilings. I've had my Cornwall IVs for six weeks now, powered by a MC275 and Mac C712. Chose them because after lusting over the LaScala for years I realized that my budget was getting stretched. Klipschorn would be the ultimate but truly need a room designed for them for full impact. Every time my wife shows me a house for sale on the internet all I ever look for is a room suitable for a pair of Klipschorns. So far, I have yet to see anything ideal. You will love the sound and be surprised how minimally your rheostat will have to be moved before your hearing is detrimentally affected. Enjoy!
