You guys are doing awesome work! I am a very well seasoned audiophile and if someone would've told me 10 years or even 20 years ago I. would own Klipsch speakers I would've laughed. Bright, in your face, listener fatigue and just plain overhyped crappy sound. Boy, oh boy was I wrong! I have owned many high end speakers. Magneplanar 3.6's, Thiel 3.5's and 3,6's, NHT 3.3's, Vandersteen Signature III's, Spendor SP100's, Dahlquist DQ10's, Roger LS3/5A's and many more. Recently, I have owned Zu Omens and Wharfedale Linton Heritage. And now Cornwall IV's. Hands down the best I have owned. So damn much fun! They absolutely put a smile on my face every time I play them. NO fatigue, no "in your face" and no irritation at all. You just get toe tapping, head bouncing and jaw dropping good fun. I want to thank Audiophiliac for getting me interested in these. I actually have submitted pictures of my current system to his channel for possible inclusion in his forthcoming episode on viewers systems. Had it not been for Steve I never would've given them a shot. As I do not have a nearby dealer I shopped around and bought a "B stock" pair. Nearest dealer is a 3 plus hour drive for me. I so wish I would've purchased from you guys instead albeit at a higher price. You guys know your shit hands down and at the price of these there is no doubt that you would have your customers backs and their satisfaction as a high priority. I do not know if I will ever upgrade or change from my Cornwall's. I do know if I do, or have other equipment needs, I will assuredly call you guys! Thanks for the great Klipsch education!
Thanks for the feedback. As has been mentioned in many interviews on many forums in the past, it's almost an emotional experience when you hear Klipsch which speaks true when you describe them as "Fun." they are that and everything you can want from a speaker. The cornwalls are amazing. For sure a game changer in this category!
I have had a similar experience. Hated klipsch, owned bunch of expensive speakers, now owned and love Cornwall IVs.
Thanks for the history lesson Trey, good job.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Great video, very informative. I have owned my CW IVs since July of last year and am extremely happy with them. Keep the videos coming.
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching. Happy to hear you are enjoying your CWIVs
THANK YOU TREY! Absolutely LOVE my Paducah Home Theater purchasing experience AND the new Cornwall 4s with the Heresy 4 as a center channel - Still building my system - Y'all will be hearing from me in the near future!!!
Thanks for watching! Always happy to help wherever we can!
I love to hear Trey talk about the history of all these beautiful speakers. I learn something new every video. I would love to hear the history of the Chorus I & II.
Thanks for watching! We were mainly trying to stick to the current line and where it came from but this is for sure a possibility in the future!

This is what I like about your channel , it's the history...wow to know Paul....:)
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you for watching!
Paul visited the dealership I was managing in the early 80s. He was a great help in designing a new sound room. And yup we had kh in the corners, lascalas , heresys and Cornwall s , sold like hotcakes.
Thats awesome! Do you still use Klipsch today?
-Jason
I love your material. Background music I could do without. Keep it coming though!
Thanks for watching. We have been altering the use of different music and adjusting content. Let us know what you think about current and future videos!
One day I will own a pair of Cornwalls.
And you will never want for anything else in the audio world :)
always good knowledge !!!!
You keep watching and we will keep making em! :)

Trey really knows his stuff
He does! and he's always here to help!
Thanks so much Trey! The Cornwalls have a place in my heart, as I ‘ve already mentioned to you - - I bought a pair from Sound Systems in Shreveport in 1978. Wish I still had them. I sold them to a gentleman in Magnolia, whom already had a pair of them, I guess he “Quaded” them out! Another pair of Corn’s and two pair of Heresy’s later and I now have my pair of Belle’s! I’m quite content with them!
I imagine you would be quite content with the Belles! Excellent addition to any home!
50s klipsch had no phase reference.That started later. I wonder how many hole in the middle was caused by mids being out of phase.
Awesome information! I learned so much from this! BTW, Trey, where did you get your shoes, love those, lol, seriously?
Thanks for watching! Happy to help where we can. Trey was unfortunately unable to tell us where he picked up those shoes. He said he cannot remember but, wishes he could because he needs a new pair. :)
@@PaducahHomeTheaterTV lol good stuff!
well done
Thank you very much! Happy to help where we can!
I'm still amazed nobody said anything until you told them they could. That just doesn't happen. But, then you were talking to the Klipsch pilgrims.
Loyal fans :)
Thanks Trey. I purchased my Cornwall II speakers in 1978 and have been listening to them since. I still love the sound they produce, but I have nothing with which to compare them. I would like to know one thing. If I were to disconnect them from my present rather modest system and connect a set of Cornwall IVs, what would the difference be in the sound produced?
Keeping in mind that my speakers cost me $499 each, is the Cornwall IV good value in comparison?
Mike, I am cheep...NO way would I swap if the 78' works fine. I can't see a change vs. cost ratio to be sound. IF I had money and no speakers, Hell yes, I would go with the new C IV.
@@treycannon2275 thanks Trey. I always wanted the K-horns, but the price was beyond me, even back then. The Cornwalls have served me well, one of my better purchases over the decades.
Thanks for watching! Hope you continue to enjoy them for many years to come!

What year did the CW IV's come out?
Sorry for the delayed reply. The CWIV was released in 2019.
Gee, think someone has taken notice from the DIY crowd by using a taller/larger mid-horn on the CW4's. That idea has been used for many years.
......dare we mention the names of Crites, "Cornscala" and others..........
They did, a long time ago when they built the Chorus. It had that larger horn. Now that it is gone, the cornwall makes sense for the next ace to use the larger horn.
May be late, but engineering takes a bit of time. If enough fans ask, many times we see it come to fruition. All said though, with all of the updates, these sound amazing.
So, what year did the IV go to market?
2020 I believe.
i like the klipsch corndogs
a bit on the crunchy side but tastes good nonetheless.

PV is better than Cornwall speaker's.
Yes true PV PA speaker's .
I use PV PA speaker's with my marantz stereo system and they sound clear and better without having all those two apps and all that mess half price stuff is for rich people they just behind your name to make you think it's high quality one you can go to any music store and buy better speakers Marshall PB shore we'll do a better job than the high price high speakers and apps .
Yours truly sammie white in Duluth ga
Thanks for watching! You are for sure entitled to your opinion...even if its wrong. :p

Mitch and Rand are saving this country from communists.
Thanks for watching! happy to hear you are enjoying the content!
