| Better Amp for Cornwall IV's... Try a passive preamp with your Parasound amplifier. Do you have a source with a variable output ( bypassing the preamp )? Because of the very high sensitivity of the CW4s, you do not need the additional gain of a preamp, and a layer of noise and d... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? @atmasphere Agreed ! | |
| Remote Control (Passive) Preamp I love my Luminous Audio, which uses a Khozmo, and I do not hear it. Might be too much for your budget. | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? Using King Crimson's track to make a final evaluation ? Ridiculous. A very processed recording. Try the works of Tony Minasian. Reference quality demo material, for sure, then, make up your mind. | |
| To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs... Each Klipsch model does some things better than others, and are different enough from one another to accommodate those personal preferences listeners have. Of course, anyone who can stretch to the CW IVs, will be doing themselves a favor. At least... | |
| Can anybody please help me identify a plug socket @imhififan , yes they are.......and ? I still stay with my point. | |
| Missed Connections Before you do anything else ( if you have not done it yet ), you should determine which " amplifier " you prefer driving the B&Ws. I find both amplifiers to have different characteristics ( personalities ), that might not gel when you use both... | |
| I was not enjoying the performance until I ...... Happy holidays everyone. It is amazing to me what some of us do to compensate for the inadequate recording " sound " we deal with, over and over. Treat yourself to a cd or digital file download of " Drums & Bells ", by Tony Minasian. This reco... | |
| Can anybody please help me identify a plug socket Honestly, I would not want that thing anywhere " in " my system. Why would I want to " dirty up " the signal of what I put together for " cleanliness. | |
| Two more recordings expected to be released by Tony Minasian....... Obviously, people have no interest, or knowledge, of the recordings of engineer, designer, producer, microphone extraordinaire and more, Tony Minasian. His recordings were talked about on other threads, here and elsewhere ( how i learned of his re... | |
| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? Not sure if this is " best ", but Edge ( now Maker Audio ) NL Reference mono blocks, through a pair of MBLs. It was so beautiful listening to Santana’s Europa, I cried. | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? To the OP, and everyone. I am here to not play devils advocate, but here it goes. 1st, lots of good information shared above. Steve Guttenberg, the Audiophiliac, came out with a video on his channel a few weeks ago, asking " Is your system perfect... | |
| Matching a Spectral DMA 180 with a preamp that is not Spectral I am someone who has eliminated the preamp ( additional active stage ), from my system. Without being crude, I do not understand why anyone would own such a fine amp ( with such high speed and wide bandwidth ), and feed it a mediocre, at best, pre... | |
| Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience. Myself, as well as my client base, all feel differently about the damping. It is all ok. Enjoy ! | |
| Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience. The horn material, whether short or long, still benefits in sq with damping. The tweeters, being quite short, benefit with damping, and I am sorry if I never mentioned that, for you to do. The woofer frame as well. I am just a damping kind of guy.... |
