Back in the I always wanted a pair of Klipsch speakers but the bass on the Heresy never convinced me. Then the Forte came out and I bought the first pair that arrived to my dealer.
I was very happy with them for a couple of years until the upgrade bug got me again. At that point I had the money to buy any Klipsch model I wanted and I loved the looks of the Belle.
I went to my dealer and auditioned all of them, from the Cornwall to the K-Horn. To my surprise the sound I liked the most was the sound of the Cornwall. The Belle, Scala and K-horn sounded to me a little unbalanced to the bright side but the Cornwall was just perfect to my taste. These were Cornwall II and loved them for many years.
I moved and sold them on the moved but since then (17 years) I still want another pair.
I would loved to put together a vintage system with a pair of Cornwalls but unfortunately I don't have the space for it (already 2 stereo systems and a dedicated HT).
