Klipsch Cornwall IV

I'm sure they are out there, but I don't know anyone who is using an iPad straight into an audio system.

But one thing's fer sure. You won't find a Crown amp of any flavor in my listening room. Nor will you find zip cord and throw away interconnects.

To each his own...........

The Cornwall IV’s are tremendous speakers which can give you a palpable, organic 3 Dimensional representation of your music.  I’ve owned a ton of speakers and gear...see My Final Pair! post:)

For those with CW IV, how far from the speakers are you sitting? 

 My speakers are 9'8" from my ears. 

I don’t think music is authored on inexpensive amps and gear. In fact, the studios I’ve been to all had hundreds of thousands of dollars of gear. Not a cheap amp to be found. 
Certainly live venues might be using Crown and inexpensive amps for playback. 

Assuming something is only as good as the weakest link in the chain, if the pro gear used to make recordings is in fact inherently inferior, then it follows that we are all screwed. Any attempt to make things better during playback is pure folly. At best, you can’t make it any better during playback than it is when recorded. So we all might as well just buy all pro gear and put lipstick on it to make it look nice at home.

So a lot of what audiophiles fret about is in fact pure nonsense. It’s all in the mind and each will dress up the pig as they see fit.

Cheers!

PS I would love to have a pair of Cornwalls in case anyone wants to just throw in the towel and give their’s away. 😉
