Klipsch Cornwall vs SVS Ultra Pinnacle

Great video. Can't wait to buy a pair of Cornwall IV whenever I feel I have the room for it!

to be fair to the klipsch's, the 15" isn't a subwoofer style 15, but a midrange 15 like the 15" in the JBL 4367 and the JBL M2.

I matched a heresy to the corns and it works pretty well.

I’ve owned many Klipsch Heritage models over the years. I’ve learned all of them go to another level when good subwoofers are paired. LaScalas with RELs are simply amazing

After years of searching, I indeed ended up with the Cornwall's. Everything you say aboit them is correct. Except i think they're very beautifulll. With the grille on 😉. Great review, tnx!

Hi from Toronto,will you be getting in the new Arendal in for review.I think they are the 1528.Love to see a comparison between them and the new Svs Ultra Pinnacles.Love your video's.

[@hochhaul]

I think the new SVS speakers are impressive. I think if I owned them I would use equalization to reduce the bass slightly between 50 and 80 hz. In your demo, with my headphones, I liked the Cornwalls. They have that presence on the high end that really stands out. Some will dislike the "bright" sound, I dont dislike it.

[@homecinemaking397]

@@hochhaul agree👌

[@cjf20005]

What do you think accounts for the Cornwalls sounding "bright" at just 20kHz ?

[@homecinemaking397]

@ i dont find them bright in the slightest.

[@MrBonger88]

Im currently playing with a pair of Crites Cornscalas that are on loan from a friend. They have the Lascala top end horns w the Cornwall bass. They are pretty good but I find that you need to listen at higher levels for them to sound their best. At low levels they tend to lose micro detail and some lower mid and bass info. It’s not my amp or pre as I’m using an Audio Research tube pre and Krell Evo 302e amplifier. When you turn up the volume a bit they really come alive

[@homecinemaking397]

@@MrBonger88 sound like a very interesting combo👌

[@daveclark9904]

Sounds like a mismatch of efficiency. Try putting a resister inline to the driver that is dominant (too loud) at low levels. That said; it frankly sounds like a bad combo. BTW, now an Avantgarde owner, we've owned LaScalas and were not impressed (always driven by premium tube amps (Audio Note, David Berning, Art Audio, etc)); they lack bass below 50 hz and have poor transparency.

I own a pair of some RP 80000f and rf 7 III and sound truly amazing paired with my Marantz sr 8015. I like the highs on those cornwalls and the bass is something you can feel in the chest but the svs towers not so much, I guess if you would pair it with one of there subs then you would be better off but some audiophiles hate adding subs on there setup when you want that true 2 channel stereo output.

[@herrtrigger7220]

Play a 32 hertz tone through th e Klipsch Corns and the Forte4s. The Forte reach 85db with ease in medium rooms @ 32hz and have a bit authority, not so on the Corns. They are down at least 6db @32hz given the same power. Some claim to have measured a 10db drop. Goes without saying the reason you get the Corns is bass, several sound tests have shown this- ie the Paducah video.

When a person says “I Think” or “In My Opinion”you then have a conversation. But when you say “It Is Trash” you lose credibility and it sounds like you’re simply anger about something. Klipsch sales over 70 years speaks for itself.

[@homecinemaking397]

@@Pksparty2112 i agree. Interestingly enough Klipsch sales are not doing very good at the moment.

[@Pksparty2112]

@@homecinemaking397 they are. Most audio equipment sales are down with the exception of low price manufacturers. The big Covid audio bump is definitely over. Even brands like PS Audio just had a big sale trying to recover sales. I’ve never seen Klipsch Heritage on manufacture sale.

[@Zoomerland]

I owned a pair of Cornwall 4s for about a year, I didn't grow fond of them and traded them in. I can't recommend Klipsh products, there are many other speakers out there with great base and with better build. One should audition the Cornwalls before you buy.

[@homecinemaking397]

@@Zoomerland yes always audition and this game is very different for everyone.

[@daveclark9904]

Klipschs sound good until you hear the same system driving modern speakers. The improvements of modern speakers is immediately apparent. ALL Klipschs (including their big K-Horns) have no base lower than 50 hz and none have the clean presentation of modern designs. Crites mods help but only so much.

I've got the SVS Ultra towers (previous generation to the evolutions)and love the base and highs but felt the middle base was weak.

Please tell me why no “reviewer” is or will mention the fact that due to this odd new design the SVS towers simply will not age well as these cabinets will swell, split and even fail for a number of reasons mostly environmental as in humidity and or moisture affecting the joins and causing the cabinets to swell and split in relatively short times I.e. possibly within a year of purchasing them, the design is inherently flawed in this way and YES time will expose this sooner than later.
