| JBL L65 vs Forte III vs Cornwall IV My vote is for the Cornwalls. I bought mine earlier this year and love them! I relegated some Goldenear Triton 5’s and two JL Audio subs into storage after I got these bad boys. I think they sound great with Jazz and Rock Both. Happy Hunting!! | |
| Audiophile metal albums The Black Album from Metallica sounds good to me. Also the New Testament album Titans of Creation sounds fantastic! | |
| Bass Driver Size - how much better is an extra inch? I don’t have a lot of experience with different speakers, but I can tell you there is a big difference in bass between my current Klipsch Cornwall IV’s and my Goldenear Triton 5’s. On paper the Tritons went deeper into the 20’s while the Cornwalls... | |

| $5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick A little bit more will get you a pair of Klipsch Cornwall IV’s. I bought a pair in January and to me they’re pretty awesome. Great dynamics, solid Bass. They play everything from Jazz to Metal with ease and since they’re super efficient you don’t ... | |

| Tekton Design Moab Congratulations! The Moabs are very intriguing to me and I’d love to hear them. I was torn between buying those and the Klipsch Cornwall IV and ended up with the Klipsch. I hope you get many hours of enjoyable listening out of those bad boys!! | |
| Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp? Wow, there’s definitely a ton of good suggestions here. Perhaps an all Tube set up would be a good idea because my Parasound Amp drives those Cornwalls to insane levels with barely a turn of the Volume knob. However I tend to listen at mid to high... | |
| Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp? Thank you everyone for all the feedback! | |
| Suggestions for $2k budget I’m kind of surprised these haven’t been mentioned, but for 2k you can get a pair of Goldenear Triton 5’s. These are stellar speakers with an incredible sound for any type of music. Highly rated and reviewed. These were my first Audiophile level s... | |
| XLR connectors I can’t recommend James Schmitt at Schmitt Custom Audio Cables enough. I have several Interconnects from him including the XLR pair I use for my Amp / Preamp connection. His prices are very reasonable for the level of quality you get. I personally... | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. Greetings!I’m also new to Jazz and have been doing a lot of research and listening on YouTube in order to help me decide which albums to buy. Like many others, I started with Miles Davis- Kind of Blue, my mom turned me onto Ramsey Lewis- Wade in t... | |

As mentioned above, he’s a pretty well known and regarded audiophile and reviews a lot of low-mid priced gear ... | |
| Parasound A21+ or PS Audio S700 monos? I love my A21. No issues at all. I thought about upgrading to the A21+ or JC models but I’m gonna wait until I can afford a top notch Tube setup instead. Oh, I’m driving very efficient speakers as well now since removing Goldenear Triton 5’s our o... |
