The Cornwall was a very fun speaker to spend 2 1/2 months with. A great design and will really keep me engaged with horn speakers in the future. At the end of the day I missed the refinement and clarity of my audiophile ways too much. I was hoping...

I think the system is too homogenized. Our gear is heavy and fragile. This stuff shouldn't be mixed in with diapers and medicine balls. Also these guys are loading trucks. How do they distinguish between a $5,000 amp and a pet rock? There should b... 
Subwoofer Decisions - REL/Rythmik, Pair/Single, Paper/Aluminum Driver, etc.
Yes TB!I've owned subs from Rel- the Stadium III and S/3, Rythmik F12G and SVS SB3000. I had the Rythmik and SVS together and think the Rythmik is the better but couldn't identify one over the other consistently in a blind test. The nice feature w... 
Any NEAT love here? Comparing mini stand mount speakers....
The Neat importer is a short distance from me in Mass. Very knowledgeable and passionate about his products. They are a great speaker line. 
A full range speaker?
I can understand not appreciating genres that incorporate synth machines, or taking a purist approach to music reproduction, but trying to say it doesn't exist or isn't relevant is a bit looney.    
A full range speaker?
1994 Olympic Stadium Pink Floyd Sorrow. Massive vibration. The bones in my ears were vibrating. The whole stadium was shaking. I agree with the above comments about feeling the music. It doesn’t take that much to feel the waves but it’s not always...

@jitterbugI found the lack of midrange to be a mixed bag. Great with aggressive music that not well recorded but lacking with nicely recorded music. Didn’t go back to any speaker yet, still considering a direction. 
Best sub for music,
Rel has solid marketing and has defined themselves as a room sub bass systems and talk about "tuning your Rel" - again marketing. I’ve owned a couple and they are good but so is Rythmik and I’m sure many others. JL looks really nice too. 
A full range speaker?
I like to listen to electronica and rap, and even Pink Floyd has tons of subterranean bass throughout their music. I find it difficult to find a speaker that goes that low and also has a soulful engaging sound. At least for under $10k. This is 100...

Awesome. What amps have you heard them with so far. I hear they like a little bit of power.

Can you describe what the drivers do on this speaker. I’ve never heard the Tannoy speakers and always hear them described as smooth, forgiving, buttery, etc. In my experience (I might be wrong) this tend to mean they have a relaxed or lowered midr...

Arthur you could just put big woofers in your car and park it in your living room!In my experience you likely don’t have to worry about the size of these in your room. They’re big because they’re efficient, and that’s not representative of the amo...

Don while you are performing your next surgery on these why don’t you cut some ports in the back and see what happens. It would be interesting to hear what some reinforcement would do. Have any of you compared these to a pair of Ardens? I’ve seen ...

@arthur1260 room is 14 by 26 but open to a larger space. I put all my speakers on the short and long wall but typically end up on the long wall with one close to a corner about 10 feet back from listening position.

Just an update with probably around 250 hours. I am often times pulled out of my office chair to walk out and listen to these. They are a clear preference for me over the O/93's I owned for 8 months. One thing I look for in a speaker is excitement...
