I bought a pair of Cornwalls for a smokin deal so these have to go. www.ebay.com/itm/354182749744?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=YoknWRZDQFS&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=YoknWRZDQFS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@scottyo64 if I had the cash now I would buy them ASAP. 😍

Thank you!

Thank you, I am enjoying them! 😉

Always like to hear from fellow enthusiasts!

Yes on my floor with out the disks they put impressions in the vinyl. They are laid back and work well with the Emotiva gear. If you have forward gear these will be a good fit. I bet the white will look nice although I would prefer gloss. These are we built and I feel worth the money.

Thank you!

Yes they were!

They started back in the corner and have moved all around till they worked well with the Maggies. I dont use them with the Wharfedale's might have to try it again and mark the LRS spot on the floor

I will check but I believe that it was downloaded from a free site and I think it is only a couple minutes long. No CD unfortunately. 😢

@@scottyo64 Thank you!! I appreciate it. Maybe I'll get lucky and find the CD somewhere. Or find a lossless download, that I can burn to CD-R.

I like them to where room correction is not needed. I have been really enjoying them but I can see where some might not. I just want people to be aware of what they are getting. Bass is very good, mids are very good tweeters are a bit laid back. They are keepers for me.

Hello, I have the EVO 4.4 for 9 months and I am absolutely pleased with their sound. I do not use room correction, I listen to everything pure, since it improves the timbre of the instruments, their location in three-dimensionality and they do not need to color the sound. Tell me I need to test them with a tube Pre, I have only solid state and Amp. AB

@@luisrodrigonunezolguin7038 I tired them with my tube integrated amp and they worked well but I like them better the my solid stated equipment

They can measure any way you like it is how they sound that counts.

@@SuperGeorge2112 A CEA-2034A measurement enables one to determine exactly how a speaker sounds. It is quite an extensively studied field.

I rotate speakers often and just put them back in this morning. I will play around with seating, thanks for the heads up!

@@scottyo64 Im fairly sure it will disappear with the right height and toe in. The evo is a fussy speaker (very), but when you get it sorted, you will be in for a treat.

@@-MarkWinston- too fussy for me. I know they can sound good, but not everyone has the luxury of redesigning a room to make speakers sound good. I'll have to look elsewhere. Is the fussiness caused by the air motion tweeter in effect "beaming" the highs in a narrow cone? I'll probably look toward Polk R700 or Wharfedale Linton instead. Thanks.

@@rosswarren436 just make sure you have the fire power if you get the r700, at least 200 watts. If you have that kind of power, the R700 is a no brainer.

@@-MarkWinston- yes, I do want to hear them in real life first at Audio Advice in Charlotte, NC before buying. And do some comparing. Fortunately, I have plenty of power with an upgraded, rebuilt Carver M-500t amp now having 395W/Channel into 8 ohms. Crazy thing is that I'm generally not into overly loud music now but simply want good, balanced sound with dynamic range and decent imaging. The modestly price R700 might fit the bill. It was on special at Christmas for $879 each. I should have jumped on that.

Thank you maybe I will do one on my tube amp.

Thats a good price. I paid $1,750.00 US for an open box pair.

I sold mine years back, and I could never get used to the top end.

You are welcome to buy them from me, I have them on Ebay right now. FYI I am keeping the RF-7 IIs, a matter of taste I would say.

Yet I get offers on my RF-7 IIs of almost what I paid new and can't sell the 4.4s for $1,100 when they list for $2,200 currently

@@scottyo64 Klipsch is overhyped but very very popular, because of their Marketing. I'am not getting the Evo 4.4, I'am most likely going for Monitor Audio Silver.

@@ManuelMedellin. What marketing is Klipsch doing? We have none here in Europe... and the first time I heard the rp8000f (after listening to most alternatives)... just ordered them. The sound is astonishingly accurate.

@ManuelMedellin I finally sold the 4.4s, $800 and they were probably 9/10. It's apparent you have spent little, if any, time with Klipsch speakers.

I am glad you brought this up as I am going to do an addendum to the video. Here's why. A few days after I did this I realized that somewhere along the way my preamp was switched from direct to tone controlled. On the setting it had the high end truned all the way down. Once I saw that and switched it back to direct the tweeters came alive. Not forward mind you, no where near horns and more reserve than the Emotiva B1+ AMTs but sweet and easy to listen to. I typically listen at lower volumes, say 75db ish, and they are fine. They have now replaced my LRSs as my main speskers. Let me know if there are any other questions

In short I think you would be happy with these

@@scottyo64 Thanks Scotty great information!

@@scottyo64 Can these be used with low power? Like 30 wpc tube Amp?

For me, certain types of music sounded good through them. I enjoyed them while I had them, but they were laid back on the high end, forward on the mid, but bass was enjoyable. The whole time I had them, it just felt like something I wasn't going to get used to. I had a hard time selling them even though they were in excellent condition. Just remember, everyone has different tastes, and the 4.4s were not my cup of tea.

I sold them. Ended up taking $800 even though they were 9/10 with boxes manuals etc I will leave it at that.

Since I do not have a place to try them on carpet with padding I can't really answer this. Try it out and let me know what you find.

Why thank you!

Not sure what you are looking for? I run a speaker cable on wood blocks. My vinyl floor generates a lot of static electricity so I figuered it couldn't hurt. I live in a very dry climate.

I am not familiar with any Revel products so I couldn't be much help there.

No, I did not

At first I didn't use the RELs with the speakers but I am now. It took sometime to get them to work well together.

After a bit I stopped using them at all. The soeakers sound great by themselves

Doesn't change the distance to the hard surface, plus I was on the second floor, I was trying to be nice to neighbors. Never ran the RELs with the Wharfedale's while I had them.

I had bought those off of e-bay and they turned out not to be very good (banana's fell part). I replaced them with some home made ones made out of 10 gauge speaker wire that worked well. I am no longer using these speakers and planning to sell them.

@@scottyo64 Thanks for the prompt reply. You seemed to be pleased with the sound. Curious as to why you are selling them?

I used Kimber Kable Hero XLR interconnects, Audioquest Cinnamon USB, Waudio 10 gauge power cables, home made 10 gauge speaker cables and jumpers. I have another brand of RCA cables that I can't remember but they are silver coated OFC that I use for my A-12 amp, turntable and Schiit Mani phone pre-amp.

Opps I think the speaker wires in the video are WAudio as well.

@@scottyo64 OK. Thanks for the detailed answer. I bought wharfedale evo 4.4, should deliver next week. I will connect to a Yamaha A-s 1200 amplifier with a Marantz na6006 source. Now I'm thinking about which wires to take for them.Your video was also one of the reasons for buying them, as I bought it without listening. Thank you for a detailed description of this okustics!

@@Kabarrful Nice! Sounds like a great set up!

@@scottyo64 Thanks!😊

You could but the longer I have them the more I like them. I would just get another pair of Klipsch's rather than add a super tweeter. The Wharfedale's have a really sweet sound I wouldn't want to mess with

They are alright but my Klipsch are better for heavy metal. The Wharfedale's are more refined, great for vocals, classical guitar and piano types of music. I always go tower instead of bookshelf speakers where I have the room. I have been using my subs with the 4.4s but I use a sub with my RF7 IIs.

@@scottyo64 Thank for complete answer. Do not know why but I want them in small room. Even I can but LS50 Meta or R3 or JBLHDI1600 but I am interesting in 4.4. I think they need more bass but I need all range of frequencies for different instruments

@@scottyo64 So even lookink to RF7 4.4 looks decent?

@@streamcnoremorse3323 the 4.4s are beautiful! I haven't heard the Metas nor the JBLs but the JBLs I do have put out bass! They have twin 10" woofers like the RF-7s though. From what you are telling me I would go bookshelf with a good sub. I am also not sure you would like the Wharfedale's

@@scottyo64 Thank you. I have got lated notification even you answered week ago.

Have to say I tired bi-wiring but not bi-amping. Didn't notice much if any difference. I ended up selling them a couple of weeks ago.

2 houses back, but sometimes you have to deal with what you are dealt. It obvious you didn't watch any other of my videos.

Have to say, I love your system!

lol 😆 I do stuff like that for fun not because it changed the sound

Thank you for the clarification.

How about bottom ported. The sound doesn't hit the floor and the ports are closed in the back so I called them front ported.

@@scottyo64 Hi, in the bottom there is gap in between.

@@bpt1231 yes I know this but there is not a gap in the rear of the bottom. I looked at them many times. Edit I meant to say many times before I made the video.

You don't read the comments do you. Yes they port down then out the front and sides. Definitely closed off in the back. I have taken them apart as someone said spacers coukd help with the bass but I felt it made it "boomy"

There is a comment from me "pinned" at the top, take a moment to read it.

It is a 2 channel system.........big subs are in the home theater system. I guess you didn't hear what I said about cable risers.

I'm not sure what you said. It won't let me translate
