GlobalAxle Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Moving into a new house and have been on a rabid hunt for the right set-up. I went and demo'd some speakers and after some ho-hum tower demos of JBL, Revel etc I walked into the Klipsch Heritage room and completely fell in love with the Cornwall IVs. No surprise there. I swear I did many hours of searching on this forum and others, but unfortunately dont feel I'm any clearer or confident on my room size. From what I can tell I am on the cusp of an appropriate room size. So apologies for another room size post: But will a 14X16.5X12 room size be big enough for the CIVs or will I have to "settle" for the Forte IV (which I loved but dont compare side by side IMO)? I will place them in the corners on the short side (14') and be seated probably 10-12' from the speakers. Appreciate any insight and again apologies if I missed any per-existing posts that could have answered this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I think they'll be great, especially with your taller ceilings. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I think your room is fine. But don’t shove them tight in the corners. Bring them out about a foot or so. Sounds better that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aj3006 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I think these would be great in your room My room is a similar size and for me it's keeping it simple and not over cluttering the space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceyinAUS Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Hi all, new to the forum and really enjoying it. I’m soon to purchase either a pair of Cornwall IV’s or Forte IV’s. Thought I’d jump on the back of this post seeing as mine is a similar query. im really torn, I want the Cornwalls but think the Fortes will probably be a better fit room wise My room is 12 foot deep and a fraction short of 16 foot wide with 9 1/2 feet ceilings. I however have a fireplace smack in the middle of the front wall. My rack would also be taking up a big chunk of space on the RHS . I end up seated approx 8 foot from my current speakers which are a pair of stand mounted bookshelves. They’re about 3 foot off the front wall and 4 foot off the side walls. Probably more of a near field listening set up and I’m really unsure if the Cornwalls will fit space wise and more importantly perform optimally in this space. realise I can bring them closer to the front wall which may help but possibly the Fortes may be a better fit for me. Bass doesn’t worry me as I have a pair of REL T9 subs so the passive radiator on the Fortes isn’t a factor in my thinking. Hoping the group can help. Happy to post a layout diagram when I get a chance Cheers. Edited September 8, 2022 by BruceyinAUS Added picture of room dimensions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
