I have the Cornwall IVs and run them with a tube amp. Even after tube rolling I found them to be a bit too bright - the problem I had with them from the beginning. A few weeks ago I bought an EQ and wow does it make a difference. I‘m bringing up the lower frequencies up just a bit (63Hz, 125Hz and 250 Hz), between 0,5 and 1dB, so not much at all, and the result is astonishing. The sound is so much fuller - and surprisingly the highs don‘t bother me a bit anymore. Sometimes I even bring them up a tiny bit.
So maybe that‘s an idea worth taking into consideration with the Fortes too.

@silverfoxvtx1800 The EQ is a Technics SH-8020. It was build in the 80s and works really well. I bought this particular one because it has sufficiently many bands so I can adjust just the right ones. |
