I got on to mention Tannoy, so add a +1 if you're keeping a tally.
Tube amp Friendly Speaker That Sounds like Klipsch Cornwall
Hi All,
I am shopping for a tube friendly speaker after a long time with Magnepan 3.6's and then Thiel CS5i's.
I was able to spend a couple of hours with a broken-in pair of Klipsch Cornwall 4's. These were in a dedicated dealer space with corner bass traps and some treble absorption. They were driven by an all McIntosh setup (7200 Receiver and T500 CD player).
The Cornwalls were dynamic, and I loved the palpable sound of the 15 inch woofer. Loud rock in roll was great with them. However, I was less impressed at lower volume levels and finally decided they were not very detailed and a bit too much in my face, at least in that setup.
When I left that room, I wandered over to where some Magnepan 1.7i's were playing in a casually set up open space. I thought the Maggies were much more resolving than the Cornwalls and a lot more laid back.
Any suggestions on a tube friendly speaker with good sized woofers that is dynamic but with good weight and detail to the sound?
Thanks for listening,
Dsper
