| Looking for my Final Pair!! The whole talk of upper frequencies is comical. I am 40 and can’t hear anything above 15khz. I am far more careful with my hearing (as I am sure many of us are) than the average person too. It is just the nature of the beast. I think most people s... | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! Dave_B,your posts are making me want a pair. They are very cheap too, well compared to everything else I want. As for the technical issues with horns, I can’t say I care. When I started in audio I read all the white papers and was interested in al... | |
| A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV Dave_B thanks I trust your input. My local shop is a dealer so I will do business with them, no worries. Just trying to understand the caliber of these speakers. I have owned B&Ws before. I value dynamics above all other things, and soundstage... | |
| moving from house to an apartment.. goodbye 802D's Yes listen to everyone else. Keep the speakers. The sub will be far worse. The true 20z wave the sub puts out will go straight through the floor. | |
| A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV Dave_B,interesting, are these intended to be a replacement for your 802 or a second system? Just curious.I have only heard a few songs on the Cornwall iv. I am intrigued enough to go demo them in the next few weeks (local shop just got them in). M... | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! Are they detailed enough for coming from B&W 802D3? | |
| Speakers for Computer All you really need is a good dac and then you are all set, you can then hook that dac up to anything you want. My main system has one source a computer (last gen Mac mini). Computers are very capable of highend sound. I have found PCs much harde... | |
| Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference? I think those guys do great videos. Not alway what I am interested in but I like watching their stuff. | |
| A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV Dave_bI would love to hear what you think of the Cornwall IV once you get them setup and broken in. Coming from or still owing the 802 D3 would be an interesting contrast. I have owned B&W in the past but have only heard a song or two on the C... | |
| Stereophile's 2021 products of the year Does any take Stereophile’s recommendation seriously? | |
| Replacement for 802 D3s Good to hear adding a sub did the trick. Have you thought about an active high pass crossover? It will take the sub/system to another level. | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? Thanks,I have only spent a short time with the Olympica but they seemed like they had potential. I ultimately did not buy them because of the lack of real grills with small children around (detected room but I let them hangout with me in there). | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? Samzx12,do you like them better than your Thiels? Do you think they are technically better? | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! Not sure the Cornwall IV will have enough detail for you coming from B&W. B&Ws are crazy detailed but kind of in a colored way of tipped up upper mids. The cornwalls are kind of nothing but the facts. The sound stage is also very different... | |
| Kef Blades (1), being auditioned...please share your experience. Honestly I feel what you hear is similar with the Kefs. I can’t comment with the blades as I did not spend much time with them (as they were more than I wanted to spend) but I felt like the Reference 3 had a similar sound. The mids lacked dynamics... |
