  1. Just a question about the Cornwall IV bass response. Am in the market for these speakers, have heard them at the local Klipsch dealer (thanks, guys) and was ready to purchase after listening carefully to the midrange and treble. Powerful, direct, live, and secure -- all the right horn qualities. The bass response on these new, just opened CWs was, however, poor. The volume was OK but the timbral quality (audiophiles say 'tonality') just wasn't there. CDs brought to check for bass response (Vic Wootens Trypnotix) sounded unclear, muffled, and the electric bass instrument sounded like a "woof with pitch." Then checked some orchestral recordings and could not distinguish between a contrabassoon and a double bass. The tonality just wasn't there. Room was set up fine and the amp was an OK Denon integrated that should be accurate enough to provide tonality. SO my question is "does the working in time taking place for a 15" driver (say 100 hours) improve timbral response?" "Is the 15" driver then able to reproduce, more accurately, the actual sound of bass instruments?" Thanks for your info. Will be checking out these speakers again in 2 weeks to see if they have loosened up and if the tonality has improved sufficiently to bring them home.
