 but darn it I love the looks of the McIntosh in my rack so I was hoping there was a way I can make these speakers work out

Hi @Capitalcityguy,

did you try also the 4ohm outputs or just the 8 ones on your Mc?
In my system, very close to yours since I have the MA9500, the best sounding outputs are the 4.

Not only the bass control is much better but everything is better.

I believe your MA8950 is a great amp for the CW4.
The right positioning could not be so easy, I spent a lot of time to get the best.

I have never been disappointed in any Klipsch speaker

Pretty much depends on your Budget.    I like my KlF 30 as much as my KH

have you ever tried to wrestle a jubilee into form with a xilica dsp?

I'm in Des Moines, Iowa.  No dealer here, but there is in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Omaha, Kansas City and Minneapolis.  So yeah, I'll try to make it to one of the places. 

Dealer in Lincoln, NE also. DTX Digital Theater Experts. Heritage dealer. They have Cornwall IVs and others on display to demo. B&W, McIntosh, Sonus Faber dealer too. Bought a few McIntosh pieces from them. Great guys.

Hi.  I have not tried that yet, but sure will.  I was using the internal DAC of the 8950,  while trying to get the sound I wanted,  I tried a Black Ice DAC with $400 dollar NOS tubes, that did the trick.  Well that and better positioning.  Now the CW4s are VERY ENJOYABLE for me.

Hey, neighbor, I'm in West Des Moines! The only Klipsch dealer I'm aware of in the state is Hawkeye Audio. I bought mine from their Cedar Falls store, but they also are in Iowa City. Worth the pilgrimage.

 

And, you're welcome to come listen to my Fortes some time.

Likewise, you are welcome to listen to my CW4s as well.
