| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? The Volti’s I have heard at shows including Razz are also very good and pass the mapman litmus test for speakers I would consider owning. I recall in every case there was decent distance to walls involved with Volti. | |

Cornwall is designed to be close to wall but being close to wall is an inherent limitation when it comes to imaging, soundstage, etc. So personally, if I needed speakers very close to the wall I have heard Cornwalls, liked them for what they a... | |

| How hot is too hot? One has to care first in order to be in denial. Malignant narcissists care only about themselves. | |

| Anyone heard the new Mofi V10 Master Edition at Axpona? Expecting a lot of great sound for the dollar there. We shall see. | |
| Anyone heard the new Mofi V10 Master Edition at Axpona? I saw the video. Oh my! How much? | |
| Is Roon The Best Sounding Option For Us? Lots of settings in Roon that shape the sound. Also Roon not necessarily the same on all devices. I compared Tidal on Roon versus Tidal on Plex. Roon was much better. Plex might sound better to some in some cases. The devil is in detail... | |
