RE: REVIEW: Klipsch Cornwall Speakers

I had Cornwalls for about 20 years. They were hard to replace for me. When I listened to some of the more modern speakers out there, they just didn't make me want to replace the Cornwalls. I did find replacements eventually and doubt I would ever go back. My Cornwalls had bloated bass, but the midrange and treble were quite dynamic. I came to believe that the high efficiency contributed to the sense of dynamics and drama. They sounded lively. They run run on low wattage and you get used to whatever honkyness there may be, and don't even notice it after a while. I think that I paid about $450 for mine back in the '70s. I didn't set mine up for soundstage back then. They were huge and so they were arranged where ever they fit. They were usually arranged on adjascent walls. The plan was to fill the room with music and to hell with soundstaging. They work well like that.
