Klipschtastic Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I did a year ago. Then I second guessed myself and ordered som JBL L100 classics to compare. While they were no slouch, the Cornwalls ultimately stayed due to their superior instrument separation, decay and bigger, more open natural sound. Plus I preferred the looks of the Cornwalls in my living room. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flevoman Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 If you like the Klipsch Heritage sound.. If you have a decent sized room. WAF is not a problem for you. And if the price is right (not new, then i would listen to them first) And if you have a good amp, yes... I still own a pair of CW4, and although I listen to the AL-5 I don't think I will sell them. I just like them to much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I bought them and never heard them. But I was familiar with earlier versions so I knew they would work in my room. I have since moved on to LaScalas, but the CW IV are fantastic speakers. You need to add more context to your query. Have you owned horns before? Room size? Associated gear? Expectations? All these things are important to determine if you should jump in with both feet without knowing what you are getting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezsdad124 Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 I have 8000fs now. Big jump to Cornwalls. I have a Rega p8 turntable and ART9xi cartridge, with a 1978 Pioneer SX1280 receiver. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Yeah that’s a big jump. I predict your socks will be sufficiently knocked to the other side of the room. That said, the CW IV will deserve something better than the Pioneer. You’ll reap rewards for upgrading electronics. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananas and Blow Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 As soon as I have the right room, a pair of CW IV's will follow. I've never heard CW's before. So absolutely I would buy them. Same for K-horns or La Scalas in the right room. My listening room right now just happens to fit the Fortes perfectly.

salbake Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Did. No regrets. Did own a pair of older ones before. Do it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipschtastic Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 ezsdad, I have some older RF3s that I enjoyed for number of years. To imagine the difference in sound picture this. The CWIVs sound how they look like they would comparatively. The thinner towers sound great but…thinner. The Cornwalls sound big and beefed up with more midrange and body. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flevoman Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Keep in mind they need some break in time first. They can sound thin in the beginning. After that they are amazing speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Cornwalls specifically, yes. Can't really go wrong with them. The idea that you're holding out for better at that price point isn't based in reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
