Your shipping wrecks. USPS,FED-EX and UPS
Perhaps textbook was not the correct word.

Yup really! Perhaps this isnt clear in this thread but follow his history and perhaps you will see. Of course if you agree with him.....

And I think you are bitter. Your prejudices are pretty textbook.

Hmmm. I know they were good and highly regarded, but I think you are simplifying things a bit. Not that any of this really matters much.

What amplifiers/integrateds do you like with Cornwall IVs?

Seeking advice what to upgrade
I think that the speakers are the greatest contributor to your fatigue. If you have loading settings on your phono preamp you can mess with these.

The David Berning stuff is wonderful. I am not sure if these designs are as adverse to lower impedance speakers as other OTL designs seem. 
Any US manufacturer of a 845 SET amplifier
I dont think that Kara (DeHavilland) is still active in this market. Perhaps I am wrong but I think this is worth mentioning.
