But pauln, those black La Scalas have some interesting angles and planes to relieve the all black finish. The Cornwalls look a little plain in the above pic. Maybe a pic from a different angle might show the Cornwalls in a better light...

Hey, some of us favor the "awful black veneer"!

There is no argument that the Cornwall III is a large loudspeaker. I have trouble though in understanding why so many swear by this speaker. It caused a near revolt when it was discontinued. It's big, ugly and I can't see how the bass can compare with a La Scala - the Cornwall's got this 15 inch monster driver showhorned into a coffin like box. This is NOT a recipe for the tight and fast bass that I am a fan of. But I could be wrong. Maybe others might shed some light here. Also does anyone have a pic of the new Cornwall without that awful black veneer? Maybe the nice Cherry finsih might make this speaker look more appealing...

I'm still pondering dwolfcoach. I really like my Martin Logan Summits, but there's a Klipschorn itch that I can't get rid of - no matter how hard I scratch. I've got the Summits sounding probably as good as they will ever sound, but I still have that nagging feeling that the new Klipschorn will end up in my living room. I know the Klipschorn isn't exactly the flavor of the month with lots of reviewers, but they offer some of the best sound you will ever hear in your home.

Apart from the 'glitches' in this thread, there's some good stuff regarding speakers. I haven't heard the new Reference series yet. The Klipsch subwoofers have just been released in Australia, so I'm very keen to audition the new stuff. BTW the Cornwall has just been released here. I can't wait to hear that. But I'm not sure whether the Cornwall (or the Heresy for that matter) should really be in the current Heritage lineup. They don't feature fully horn loaded bass.....

Did y a you ever finish your thoughts here or don't I know how to navigate this site? I'm a rookie and I'm very interested in these speakers.

I thought this thread would die. I don't know what to do. The glitches have returned and the only way to keep them at bay is to keep posting. Maybe I might look at a more affordable Top 10. Something that most can afford. Hmmmm...

Oh No! Another glitch. Amy will kill me!

Probably for a similar price to a brand new Klipschorn, you could buy a complete Reference series home theatre system. But for a dedicated 2 channel fan there are soooooo many speakers! Where would I put them all? Still... this sytem looks hot, and probably sounds hotter...

Amy might control the fun button, but she can't control me posting sexy pictures of speakers. I haven't posted a pic yet of the AK5 Klipschorn. This is very sexy looking...
