I'm listening to my Cornwall IV's via a McIntosh MA-2275 integrated amplifier. It is magic and a match made in heaven. This was a retirement gift to myself a couple of years ago and I haven't looked back. I highly recommend it.

Still loving my 1984 Cornwall one's... original owner here... driven by a Class A SET tube amp (EL34 or KT88's), 8 WPC I believe.. So easy to drive.. and sounds so sweet....

Klipsch are truly a departure from the analytical accurate HiFi sound, and the older I get, the more I appreciate that aspect. Hearing horn speakers project people in the room with you is such a thrilling and emotional experience. I like to get my fix from Altec speakers personally, but the Cornwall 4 might be the bargain of the century for a modern horn speaker. I have loved listening to them in 2 friends systems. Great video! I would like to see more of your review videos like this for other speakers that have made an impression on you!

[andydogdixon]

I'm finally glad to see the face that goes with the voice from most of the videos posted. Thanks!

[ThunderFootLevin]

Really impressed how you tell it like it is (the good and the bad). Being a Klipsch dealer who is honest about issues is really commendable.

Last December I set out to get Heresy 4 speakers, but after listening to them all I fell in love with the sound of Cornwall 4. I’m really running a McIntosh MA252 and Cornwalls and I am loving it.

my buddy thats a HIFI nerd and master speaker builder, he made a homemade klipsch la scala`s, he made me a pair of towers, he built on a side firiring driver and cross networked klh bookshelf speakers on top, these speakers sound nice hooked up to my carver pm 1.5 amp, output is 160 watts but they are very efficient..they sound nice...i just subscribed

[fr-vansid]

La Scala .. the best of the best for me, i never change for another ... They change my life.

[dougg]

I have the Heresy IV’s and they will never leave. Cornwall will be my next permanent addition. To think I used to be a never Klipsch guy. To think I hesitated. I do run a sub . Always

[mikegallegos]

Great review Fernando. As a Klipsch owner myself I appreciate your objective opinion and find it refreshing. I very much enjoyed the laid back nature of the entire review. You have a great channel and I look forward to future reviews and informative content.

So much appreciate your understanding and wisdom on the Klipsh speakers. I have my Klipsch 5.2Kg from 1977 still in my music room in perfect condition. I just sold the amp that was acquired at the same time - a Sansui 8080DB which ran them for over 40 years. This Sansui 80 watt was the perfect amp for the Klipsch speakers. But I have always wanted the Cornwalls so thanks for all the info again. I forgot how good looking these are. So when I grow up those are the ones I'm looking to get (I'm savin up). A good friend has a pair and had me build a set of speaker stands specifically to fit the base of the Cornwalls out of some beautiful premium rainbow ambrosia maple wood. They really looked nice sitting down in the stands but sounded even better. You have a beautiful walnut rack as well that WOULD look good with them. I agree totally. Thanks again for the vid. I'm glad I found your channel. I'm toying with the idea of getting another vintage amp or a new amp. I'd be interested to know if you have seen any Sansui 8080 that have been reconditioned/rebuilt?

Hey Fernando, thanks for your honest reviews and point of view. Love when you go inside the speakers and make suggestions for pairing components. I've switched from highly resolving speakers to Heresey IV's for my office/listening room (11'x18'x9'). And I'm thrilled. I don't listen at loud volumes and having great dynamics at 60-70 db makes listening fun and not fatiguing. The best compliment I can pay to Klipsch is that records I thought I didn't like and replayed with a tiny, 2.3 watt SET come to life with the Heresey IV's. I'm paying a lot more attention to the music and not the gear. Finally, the set up sounds great with jazz, acoustic and rock...very versatile speakers.

[AudioElectronicsChicago]

These are one of the top 10 best speakers for me

[jwall]

Excellent video!
I’ve had the Cornwall IV’s for 2 years combined with a Primaluna EVO 300 integrated amp. The sound is still magical to me.
I’ve always wanted to try a McIntosh amp but no where near me to do an A B comparison.

[darrendominix]

Your comparison at the end referencing TV resolution and real world was so spot on. Kudos for the analogy; very well put.

[augustjosh]

Hello Fernando ! Huge fan of your videos ! Thanks for making understanding Hi-fi accessible! You truly are remarkable! 🎉

[charlesparker]

Heard Cornwall for the first time in 1978. Amazing then and surely now as well

[Darrylizer]

Steve Guttenberg ran his Cornwalls with a 2watt Decware tube amp and said they got loud enough and sounded great. So Cornwalls are very efficient. The only downside is that I don't have the room at present. I've only heard them and LaScalas at a dealership and yeah for me the LaScalas are next level. The Forte is in the middle for me, lots of bass though not as much as the Cornwall and a really good midrange that approaches the LaScala. A friend of mine has a pair of those. Personally I love the liveliness of the Heritage line and Klipsch in general.

Really good video and explanation of the Klipsch Heritage sound!

[baronofgreymatter]

I like listening to music not the equipment. I have the cornwall IVs and a yamaha AS2200 integrated amp. Sounds amazing

[prestigerider]

I owned a set of these, the 1981 yr edition. Powered by Citation 16/A I believed then as i still do, that its one of the best musical experiences out there. Its the closest drum sound and Grand Piano sound ive heard come out of a set of especially at home. Short of having a Westlake or Altec 604 in your living room, these put you as close to the performance as you can get for most tastes. p.s ( I had always thought these would make for a phenomenal large format studio monitor, but its a hard business to get into....) Good to see the latest addition is carrying on the excellence
