New Klipsch Cornwall lV Horn Speakers...One of the BEST Horn speakers on the market?

[Audio_Karma]

Has anyone heard these new $6K Klipsch Horn speakers at one of the shows?

One reviewer believes they are one of the best horn speakers you can buy...at any price!

Whilst not the same model, a friend had a similar impression of their new La Scala at a recent show here in UK.

ive been trying to audition these new Cornwalls with no luck in Australia. Ive heard the previous versions (III) and was amazed how lively the music is portrayed. Super rip off here is Aus. that is all Klipsch products.

I have heard the old ones, not the new, but read the Stereophile review. I was surprised they did not fix some of the fundamental issues they have, seems like a missed opportunity to me. A local stereo store had a Klipsch rep and was showing them but I was unable to attend.

Excellent speakers for there asking price.I have owned them.

In some ways hard to beat at any price.a classic.

I had older versions of them, listened La Scalas extensively for years at a close friend and I still have Klipschorns as a second system. So, I think I have been through the heritage line up quite a bit (I also had their non heritage speakers, rf7).

I am very surprised to hear people comment on cornwall like that, unless the newer ones have nothing to do with older ones. It may be compact which is good but it is definitely not one of the best horn speakers on the market. That is a very strong statement. What makes Klipsch a legend is Klipschorns and deservingly so. That is the only Klipsch I would get if I want one of the best horn speakers on the market. If placed correctly and modded in the right way it can go head to head with most top tier horn speakers for sure and would still cost less. I myself have changed the Klipschorns midrange horn to Volti fc260 wooden horn, changed the xo with Volti's highest offering and added a time aligned fostex t500amkII tweeter on top.

The latest Cornwall IV, is a MUCH IMPROVED version of the previous iterations...it’s generally considered the most improved in the Heritage line up.
Fun speaker and massive “ bang for the buck “, especially if partnered with the right amplifier (especially tubes).
Cheers.....
