Cornwall iv


Hello all,

 

I have been eying these for a little while. Since they have been out for a few years I am curious about those who had had them a while and how you still feel about them. If sold them what you changed to. 

If anyone has had both Tektons and the Cornwalls would love to hear those impressions as well.

Two years in, I still love my CW IV. They’re mated with a Luxman MQ-300 via Cardas Clear Beyond in a strongly vinyl-centric system. I rotate several amp/speaker combos through this system. I got the CWs because I wanted a horn/SET option. I’m very happy with this combination.

My CW IV were good stock but reached a much higher level when, following the lead of Don Sachs in another thread, I replaced the x-over caps and resistors with V-Cap ODAM and Path Audio, respectively. I also damped the horns and woofer baskets with Dynamat and replaced the binding posts with WBT Next Gen. You don’t need to to do these things to enjoy these speakers, of course, but for me they made a big improvement.

BTW, a 300b SET is the smallest I’d recommend with them in a good-sized room. I have a nice 2a3 amp that I use in an office system. It doesn’t quite have the oomph to fill a larger space properly with the CW IV.
