Re: PWK's hand picked head engineer does NOT own KHORN, Cornwall, HERESY......

Well, they discontinued the whole Cf series some time back.
They were a radical departure from the Klipsch sound, and were kind of orphans.
The audiophiles didnt want them, because they were Klipsch, and never gave em a chance, and the traditional Klipsch La Scalla, Heresy, Cornwall crowd just never could accept them.
They arent as efficient as the Corns, La Scala's, etc, and they have a diffrent sound.
They have more of a pro sound type of voicing, with an excellent soundstage, and seem to me to be a lot smoother than the La Scalas I used to own.
I never tried the La Scalas with tubes though.
I owned Belle Klipsch, and I thought they were terrible.
They had a woody, boxy sound in the lower midrange, yuk.
But, I bought em used, amd perhaps someone changed the drivers, etc.
I enjoy the CF 4, and I also have CF 3.
The newer series 2 speakers can have the original 5 inch ports put back in in place of the 3 inch ports indicitative of the version 2 and or the version 3.
That will restore the bass tuning, but then you will need to either bi amp them, or change the resistor value on the horn.
I have em bi amped, so I can : voice em" like I want em, for my room, and my tastes.
I honestly wonder why they get so little attention here ?
