| LAIV Harmony I’m at about 220 hours. I love this DAC! The Klipsch Cornwall IVs that I am currently using expose everything bad upstream, so far it ’s all good coming out of the speakers. The Laiv is a SMOOTH operator. Very balanced, extended, detailed, and yet... | |
| LAIV Harmony Mine has a little over 100 hours. For the past couple of weeks prior to receiving the Laiv, I was going direct from my streamer to the DAC on my McIntosh 8950 integrated amp. It sounded pretty darn good. Changing to the Laiv, it sounded kind of co... | |
| LAIV Harmony audiostick, I don't have cd player or even a dvd player. Still no internet so I can't connect to the streamer to play anything. I guess cable was cut and the army core of engineers apparently won't let them fix it because of flooding. For those... | |
| LAIV Harmony My Laiv came today. I can't listen to it because the area I'm in is out of wifi service probably until tomorrow night. Bummer. | |
| LAIV Harmony solarjam, thanks for your impressions. As an audiophile with tinnitus, it is good to know the Laiv has a smooth and relaxing nature. | |
| LAIV Harmony audiostick, if you go to the last couple of pages on that thread, there is user impressions, not much before that. smweber2, I ordered May 31st, confirmation said shipping at the end of June. If they moved it to later date, I haven't been not... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? Based on the sound description of these, it may be what you are looking for | |
| LAIV Harmony I have one on order. It is supposed to ship at the end of June. Over on headfi, there is a thread with some owners, all positive impressions so far. | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? larsman, I think with the older Harbeths that was the case, but the new versions are better for rock. I had the Harbeth SHL5plus XD and thought they were pretty good with rock. They even showcased them with a heavy dose of hard rock at one of t... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? "Classic rock, hard rock, 80s new wave, punk, pop (classic and modern)". I like these genres too. The frustrating thing is often these recordings sound better on car stereos and headphones than they do on high end systems. For example, about 15 ye... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? I own the Cornwall 4s. I damped the tweeters and mid horn. I did not do the woofers. Is it worth it to do so? Also, should I have these toed in or just aimed straight ahead? I will experiment on my own but I wanted to know if there was a ge... | |
| Back to the DAC For my DAC, I was using the DAC in my McIntosh MA 8950 integrated amp. It worked well with my Polk Audio R700s. But then I got a pair of Klipsch Cornwall 4s. They would sound outstanding on some recordings but on a lot of material they would sound... | |
| Cornwall iv Thumbs up on the damping. Jeffseight, I don't think GR Research offer a crossover upgrade for the CW4s, only the Forte 3s from the Heritage line. If he does offer it, it's not on his sight that I can see. For those using solid state amps, th... | |
| klipsch cornwall iv upgraded crossovers What about dampening the woofer baskets? Think that would help smooth out the sound a little? I know a lot of people have done the mid and tweeter. | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" I thought I would weigh in. I originally ordered the SDFB for a Puritan PM136 power conditioner. Unbeknownst to Mark and I the new ones do not appear to have a fuse. He had done some SDFB for the Puritan in the past, but those must have been ol... |
