| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? I have older recordings that used tube microphones and were completely analog…they are full of life and color dynamic range. How things are executed is more important than the Tech DuJour! | |
| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? Listen to the New Sound Same as the Old Sound Don't get fooled again An inexperienced individual with money is liable to do or say just about anything imaginable. The problem is most of it will be meaningless. Find YOUR truth and enjoy! ... | |

| Are you interested in the new generation of "old school" design loudspeakers? My Klipsch Cornwall IV’s are definitely old school but I am quite amazed at how well they throw such a large and wide soundstage. They also have less phase issues compared to other high end speakers I have owned. Relaxed, musical, detailed, dyna... | |
