Looks like they revised the Cornwall III with a larger midhorn with "mumps" and horn-loaded ports for the 15" woofer. And likely a significantly higher price to boot... Edit: Yep. $4,400/pr vs. $6,000/pr.

I was never a fan of the Cornwall IIIs, I felt like there wasn't a cohesive presentation between the drivers. Kind of honky midrange. Hopefully the changes make a clear sonic improvement. Dynamic ability was excellent, as is the case with most older Klipsch designs. Forte III had better tone, but didn't quite have the same sense of scale, and was a bitch to place.

Yeah, I wouldn’t put old JBL in the same sentence with these older Klipsch designs. JBL knew their shit.

Yeah, I cover LEDs that are on. You can still see a little light spill into nearby LED holes.

If you're really lucky, messing with plankton in a pitch-black dark room, you might get phosphorescence.

If you're really unlucky, you get swallowed up by the whale which is aiming for the plankton

(I'm just envious because I'm too deaf for plankton ;) )

Don't feel bad @Thad E Ginathom, shrimp are tasty too :)

@Ringingears Thanks for that.

Next logical step would be room treatments, if you can live with the aesthetics

That, I have done. A couple thick panels in the corners (w/blankets packed in behind them) and thinner panels at first reflection points. I want to experiment with diffusers but can't seem to find any decently-sized affordable ones online.

Hi Eric,

I texted the number you left me, unless that's not a cell phone?

Thanks,
Will

Did you end up getting that Haley in? would love to hear your thoughts

I did, though I haven't had time to really A/B it yet. Maybe I'll have a better picture in a week or so.

If crossover design is good, it shouldn't be a problem. There's just a bit of a difference in the way ribbons present sound vs domes.

Speaking of Crossovers... if you ever get a chance (after "burn-in" is complete)... I'm sure, I won't be the only one, who'd be very interested & intrigued to hear any of your experience & opinions on those Bhavas! Or just overall impressions.

Don't forget if they still sound off or synergize weirdly... it's probably your small-ish room as well as wall positioning/reflections/toe-in/tweeter-in/outward-position that is still gonna be a major if not the biggest factor to properly integrate your new Speakers...
And, imo, second to that, is how good the Speakers actually perform... I mean they're probably uber expensive, so they must be great-er!?! :P
