MikeM Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Cornwall is pretty much my dream speaker but economics dictates I hold tight with he Forte's. This is a pretty cool review though with a couple different amp pairings: the Decware Zen end an old Carver cube amp. Interestingly the dude liked the 200 WPC SS Carver. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Chi-town Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Nice review. What version of forte do you own? I had forte II for almost 30 years and upgraded to IVs about a year and a half ago. I have heard Cornwall IV although not in my listening room. I actually prefer the forte IV in the bass department. INMHO punchier. The Cornwall is a great speaker in its own right, however there is something about the forte line that I cannot replace. How large is your listening area? If considering purchasing new, INMHO the WOW factor over the forte is not there for me. IF you go with Cornwall, I hope it meets your expectations and delivers that WOW factor for you.

Mine are Forte IIs, circa 1995. Room is about 12 x 18 but open on one side into a larger space. Other than some KG4s I started with (I really miss those too) the Forte's are the only Klipsch Heritage speaker I've actually heard so nothing to compare it to really. Cornwalls sure get rave reviews from their owners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
