Stockholm650 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I have owned both the KLF 30 and Cornwall I's. Im currently running the Cornwalls. They both sound great listening to jazz, but if i had to choose one, it would be the corns. They sound great with small band jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Cornwall = Jazz KLF30 = Rock I think everything sounds good on Corns. I've never owned KLF30s but that's based on comments I've read here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmc Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I'm not a huge jazz guy, but, for what its worth, since getting my Cornwalls, my Coltrane collection has tripled, and the records/CDs are getting played more than ever before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest David H Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Thanks for your reply,but Cornwall has 3 generations,I ,II and III,which one seems to be better? Your question is going to boil down to personal preference, however if you choose to go with CW1's you may want to do a few upgrades. Minimum crossover caps. And though I have not heard the CWIII's I imagine them to be the best of the bunch. I just dont see klipsch going backwards on the heritage line. Then again I prefer gen 1 over gen2 with just a few mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmc Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Thanks for your reply,but Cornwall has 3 generations,I ,II and III,which one seems to be better? Only heard original Cornwalls, but, going by what I've read, the original version Cornwall are slightly preferred over the II, but the IIIs are a dramatic improvement over either of its predecessors. Opinions vary, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmc Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 If you can swing a new pair of Cornwall IIIs at $3750 a pair, go for it. Hopefully, I will be able to, some day. For now, I am very happy with my 1979 Cornwalls that cost me $500 and some patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Cornwall = Jazz KLF30 = Rock I would also agree with that from what I've heard personally. YMMV. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
