| A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV I, too, would love to hear the Forte IV. I sold my Forte IIIs and they were wonderful. I would have kept them forever but I need the money and space for the Cornwall IVs. | |
| Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound? True, OP, very true. | |
| Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound? @OP, I get it. I listen to the Bill Evans Trio, Waltz for Debby, album nearly every week. Sonically, it still blows me away. And it's a 1962 recording, made live inside the small Village Vanguard. I think MillerCarbon has some good advice abo... | |
| A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV @jett88, Good for you. I like how you tried out 8 products! You now feel confident you like the sound you have. Smart.I agree with you--there are tons of great products out there. It doesn't need to be a zero sum game. I really need to hear t... | |
| A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV @jet88, Wow! That combo CWIVs - Luxman L509x is one I would love to hear. | |
| Audio Companies with Integrity?? Manley Labs -- EveAnna is fantastic. | |
| Shootout-- Primaluna Dialog HP Integrated/Carver Crimson 275/Elekit 300B @jjss49, Wow! Great assessment. I agree with so much of the detail you pointed out. Wonderful review you did. You put into better and very specific words what I was calling "delicious"--that midbass and midrange are seductive. And, you are dea... | |
| Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty” Charney, Volti, and Klipsch Heritage. I love all three. | |
| Someone please talk me out of this OP, I think if you can afford it you should try both and sell what you don't want. | |
| Anyone compare Tidal and Spotify Premium Sound? @jjss49 , Yes! that was 6 years ago. I have grown up much since then!I now have a tube DAC, horn speakers, and have built 5 different pieces of gear, in addition to buying and auditioning so much stuff! | |
| Bellari EQ570 Connected to McIntosh MA6600 Integrated Amp I owned a Loki. Nice product. Very quiet. I thought it allows nice adjustment of tone while not getting in the way. Back your problem at hand: I’d return and exchange the unit to my dealer or manufacturer. I’d also try the Loki. | |
| A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV On room size and positioning--I was a bit surprised to find that even though I initially thought the CW IV was not fussy on placement, I was dead wrong. To be clear, they will sound decent with nearly any placement. But if I want them to sound sp... | |
| A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV @arcticdeth, I have to admit that I used to loath Klipsch and I had not heard enough of them or with quality source and amplification. Steve Guttenberg and Steve Huff are both knowledgeable people who love music and the hobby. They both see th... | |
| A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV @mofojo ,I'm near Chicago. You're welcome to hear them here. Probably smart to wait until full vaccination is available. But you're 100% welcome. | |
| A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV Yes, I use a sub with them. I try to carefully adjust it with the crossover starting at its lowest point and adding volume until I get a seamless "match". Then, I can up the crossover a bit IF I feel it necessary. However, I use my REL sub to m... |
