Heresy IVs vs Cornwall IVs

I've owned a pair of Heresy IVs for several years now. They're my main speakers and I love them.

I keep thinking that a new pair of Cornwall IVs might sound better. I'm wanting something with that Klipsch Heritage sound, but with more base. I have the cash and am ready to buy, but just think I'm chasing diminishing returns with this. Thoughts?

Get the CW IV if you have the spare change. It delivers way more bass than the Heresy IV ever will have.
 
I’ve seen some great deals on lightly used
Cornie 4’s less than 1/2 Retail
Is a great deal on Current models
And a massive upgrade from the Heresy
 
I went through a similar thought process last year. I decided to put Jantzen crossovers in my Heresy's IVs synced with JL Audio 10-inch subwoofers. I wouldn't trade these speakers for any other in the world.

There's a thread comparing the Heresy IV to the Forte III. Forte III wins so the Forte IV should be a landslide.

Klipsch Heresy IV vs Forte III

Hi All, New member. Trying to decide which speaker system would work better for a large living room with very little furniture and window coverings. Both are used. The Klipsch Heresy IV is a 2021 model in excellent condition priced at $2,000. The Klipsch Forte III is older and recently had...

My advice with Klipsch Heritage: Always get the biggest (and, perhaps, newest) speakers you can accommodate and afford. If you’ve got room and $ for the Cornwalls, that’s the ticket; room and $ for the La Scalas, then step it up; the Klipschorns? Go for it! Jubilees?—a no-brainer.
 
I have now heard all the Klipsch latest models accepting the new La Scala with the ported 12 inch woofer and the new Klipschorn. But as of today if I had the space and the money it would be a voiced Jubilee. But as I have neither then it would be the latest Cornwalls. Th new mid horn is better balanced and the over all presentation is much more pleasing than any other Heritage model in a average size room. Jubilees require a large room, great corners, and a thick wallet. Plus a new La Scala as a center channel .
