Looking for my Final Pair!!
The Naim was the only SS amp that I used with the CW IV and it was a very nice match. While I personally preferred tubes, most people could enjoy the Naim and call it a day. In addition to sounding good, the Naim was also super convenient. It's an... 
Looking for my Final Pair!!
@dsper I've run my CW IV with a Naim Uniti Nova, which is a really nice match for the CW IV. SS & Tubes each have their own unique strengths, which is better would be a matter of personal taste.For me, bass performance was better with the Naim... 
Klipsch Cornwall IV
@dbarger I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback on the new amps. I just picked up a Triode Lab 2a3 amp, just waiting for it to arrive. Having a lot of flexibility with amps was one of the things that led me to the Klipsch heritage speakers, ... 
This forum is antiquated.
I think the ability to add photos directly in a thread would be beneficial 
Speaker purchase question
@ghdprentice Bad reviews cut both ways; the seller also has the right give the buyer a bad review for failing to ask questions and--admittedly--buying on (false) assumption.  
Speaker purchase question
@mcp Do you think you met your obligations as a responsible buyer; did you ask questions? If you had left negative feedback, what would that have been? 
Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship?
Based upon my ongoing headaches with FedEx damaging packages (and then refusing to pay the insurance), I’d strongly recommend avoiding FedEx and shipping via a freight carrier with the amp strapped on it’s own pallet.  
MQA is for chumps
I have both Tidal and Qobuz, in most cases I prefer the sound of Qobuz. MQA files on my system sound kind of muddy. Once I get my playlists copied over to Qobuz I don't see any reason to keep Tidal.  
PS Audio Perfectwave vs Directstream DAC
@audiodwebe I’ll also add that I liked bth DACs, especially the DS and have owned a couple of them. If you’re looking for a low cost streaming solution that sounds great you could look at a Bluesound Node 2i paired with a good sounding, low cost D... 
Decoupling for Cornwall IV's
@michaelc2020 I also heard about these isolation pads through Stereophile, I believe it was for the Volti Razz review. Thank you for the compliment on the system, I'm trying to keep it simple. @jbhiller I was using these with CW IV. I actually str... 
Klipsch Cornwall IV
@ozzy62 After installing the speaker bars, I immediately noticed the midrange was clearer, voices more 3D. One thing I noticed, however, was that bass seemed like it had diminished significantly--that was until I turned on my subwoofer. I’m not su... 
Klipsch Cornwall IV
My CW IV are 4’ from the sidewalls, the tweeter is 32" from the back wall and my ears are 9’8’ from the tweeters. I have a slight toe-in as well. I’ve also done a couple tweaks: 1) I’ve placed dynamat on the horns and woofer cage.2) I placed the s... 
PS Audio Perfectwave vs Directstream DAC
I've owned both, the PerfectWave is nowhere near the level of performance of the DirectStream.  
Klipsch Cornwall IV
For those with CW IV, how far from the speakers are you sitting?  My speakers are 9'8" from my ears.  
Klipsch Cornwall IV
My Cornwall experience:I went from Harbeth SHL5+ to Klipsch Forte III and ultimately to Cornwall IV. Going from the Harbeth to the Forte III, I immediately appreciated the increase in dynamics and having way more amplifier choices (in my experienc...
