Cornwalls- Will I regret it?

[YK Thom]

I guess he did.

Well a Cornwall3 is a big Heresy3. The CW3 has the k701 mid horn the smallest and oldest horn Klipsch uses. Save you money and buy a CW4 better drivers better (largest) horns. What made the CW special was it larger mid horn and 15" woofer and a CW3 is just a step backwards horn wise. Get the CW4 and enjoy yourself til death.

Big room on the long wall.

Nothing wrong  with Cornwall III  , the mids horn is smaller that a CW  IV   , but worst scenario , you can still add a slightly larger mids horn  in the enclosure  , The  K601 versus the K701 -

I don' think there will be room to add a larger mid horn into a CW3 and if it is a wrap around cabinet like the CW3 yu won't be able to swap out the original baffle for a new one either.

looks like there is  enough room  for  a k601 CW II  exponential  horn to fit   between the  k-33 woofer and the K701 horn  , and since it is not threaded alike the K-600 -it should screw right in , of course one would have to measure ------but it does not look to be impossible --------whereas a k61  Chorus II horn would definitely not fit

it does look like it may well be possible but a trio of horizontal braces below the woofer between the woofer and the mid and again between the mid and the tweeter would be a good plan. There must be better modern horns than the K600 that could fit even a KLF20/30 mid horn would be very much better than a k600/601. Just a thought.

So how do you like your odd KLF20 woofer? What is it? Thanks.

Looks like he pulled the photo. I did not see it in the thread just now.

I predict you’ll be unhappy with them, put them right back on the market, and won’t report back.

Why thank you, even if you’re trying to pretend to understand where I’m coming from. Visitors to this forum A. don’t get it and B. Cornwalls are a big problem child no one likes to address, IMHO. I run 2 pairs and Cornwalls are far from user friendly, unfortunately. I’m in a love hate relationship with both sets. I put one pair in my HT system to teach them a lesson and they are doing well. Cornwall IV’s look to be next level making everything but the size go away from what I’ve read.
