I was blown away when I heard the Cornwalls they were smooth not harsh and punchy, just not at all what I remembered about the Klipsch sound. The 2 salesman and I had the best hour listening and having fun, they were both not looking forward to carrying the Klipsch line but were pleasantly surprised by the Heritage line and saved myself 4K. Looking forward to getting them set up in my room at the end of the week.

Funny, I'm actually considering the exact same thing!...GE Ref's vs. Klipsch CWIII.
I've owned CWIII's and GE Triton 1's in the past. Both speakers were great. I'm leaning towards the CWIII's. To your point, I'm not sure the $4,000 difference is worth it. You can add a nice sub with the Corns and still pocket $2,000.
Congrats on your purchase.....enjoy!
