| Cornwall IV speaker placement guidance The Cornwall IV is a front ported speaker ( CWs always has been, as far as I know ), designed to have greater versatility with room set up, corner or against a wall ( not necessarily out in the open back then, although it works ). The owners I spe... | |
| Paul Klipsch was right - What the world needs is a good 5 watt amplifier I cannot name this individual ( it is not me )....He owns top of the line CJ gear / Avantgarde horns....Based on my very positive recent talks with him about a chip amp I have been listening to, he went ahead and purchased the PA5, AND LOVES IT. H... | |
| AR-2ax. On the Prowl. Typical Issues??? A great speaker, 2nd only to the 3a. An amplifier, such as an original Ampzilla ( going back in time, and although later than the ARs ) would be fabulous, assuming the speakers are rebuilt.....ime, woofer surround, crossover, rear attenuation cont... | |
| Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned? JohnK, great choice, but my room size, my listening distance, and / or, I would need to sit several feet higher from the floor. 😟 | |
| Cabinet resonance problem with Marantz MM9340 amplifier Just following up. Any news for us ? | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... Audiophile meaning : Wikipedia : Is a person who is enthusiastic about high fidelity sound reproduction. Seeks to reproduce the sound of a live musical performance. There are other definitions if you google it. My addition to this meaning, is that... | |
| Who actually heard the Infinity IRS? @klh007 , I had that same system, including one of a number of MC step up devices, until you mentioning the Premier 5s ( did not like tube amp bass then, nor now ); of course I did not have the IRSV. I know someone here made it very clear that Pau... | |
| Who actually heard the Infinity IRS? And, the 2nd pair in production....... | |
| Please settle a bet! I am going to pretend I am an audio consultant ( retired ). As a music listener, what " musical characteristics " are you looking for ? Example : I own Klipsch Lascalas, tweaked and modified. They have the characteristics that are important to me.... | |
| Who actually heard the Infinity IRS? Mark, very impressive that you owned them. 👂👍 | |
| Cabinet resonance problem with Marantz MM9340 amplifier Yes, I have used Peel and Seal with excellent results. It bends around corners, is more pliable and easier to apply in many situations vs. Dynamat. But, I like Dynamat very much. There are other things available as well. | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... I hear some subtle differences in tone, but that is it. So, you win. Now what ? I still cannot judge the " sound ", and the " personality ", of an amp over YT, and it is not my ears, nor my system. Maybe, I just don't care. Enjoy ! | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... @toddalin, I am not sure what videos you are speaking of, but in my statement of ridiculousness, I should have specified " meaningful " differences. Enjoy ! | |
| Who actually heard the Infinity IRS? I also heard them at Lyric a few times, and at a customers home of Mike Kay. Large presentation and quite enjoyable. I believe Paul McGowan just retired his set, stating that his new flagship speaker is better in every way. His YT videos allow yo... | |
| klipsch cornwall iv upgraded crossovers I am a BIG proponent of damping horns, enclosures and woofer frames ( electronics as well ). A good YT video by the " The Boston Audiophile ", he shows you how he did his CW IVs, and it was based on my recommendation to him. I tried several crosso... |
