Bkmdano Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 All, I have been researching cornwall speakers (again). I had a set of 1984 Cornwall 1, years ago, but favored the sound of my Chorus II (stock and Crites mod) in side by side comparison. Recently a set of Cornwall 3 has become available nearby. I understand the changes made by Klipsch as far a the movement of the woofer in the new design. My question is are they similar sonically to the vintage models? Better..worse?? In comparison to a set of Chorus II (stock and Crites mod). Thanks in advance, keep rockin! Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on your info, I think you should consider the newer and improved Cornwall IV over the III, or find some Chorus II. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 @Bkmdano The CW III woofer is placed higher up similar to the Chorus , so bass is more prominent than a CW 1-2-4 . -the CW 1 -2-4 have the woofer placed lower in the enclosure . -the HF drivers..... tweeter-midrange of the CW III are similar drivers to the Chorus II , with the exception that they use klipsch Titanium diaphragms , so overall , the CW III should sound even more advanced than a Chorus II due to more modern Crossovers and the sound of Titanium HF + more bass than a CW 1 .

Bkmdano Posted June 27, 2022 Author Share Posted June 27, 2022 Thanks for the input. I kept the Chorus II and do love them. When I saw the CW3 come up for sale recently, I started to think if it were a true upgrade or not..or even a lateral move. It is definitely fun to play around with gear and am glad to find a others that get it too! Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
