Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed?
@bjesien As you attached photos of your room/equipment (very nice btw) here, you can post it on your systems page, and when everyone is satisfied with the truth, you can always delete it. That would be a great end to this. TY in advance. MrD.

The fact that GR indicated China manufacturing of a Heritage product, which was bad enough based on a falsehood or misinformation, it was how he described the wood as being one step above, over cardboard. Not right, even if he thought so. Interest...

I know I posted on this thread but cannot find my post and I do not recall deleting it at all. Anyway, as this thread continues, it is apparent the great differences of opinion. Two expensive and heavy 100 lb amplifiers delivered, set up, evaluati...

@ghasley I would 1st like to apologize to you if you felt my words to tvad were cruel, mean, demeaning, whatever. My statement "One problem I see constantly is listeners having the wrong gear for their rooms or their tastes", was not taken well by...

@ghasley can I hear your words of wisdom as to why you think so?

@tvad , you are so high strung, with mine is bigger than yours. Wake up a bit. Specifically, I would not be happy with your loudspeakers, and I am not a fan of tube power amps, any tube power amps. Neither do what I want. Are we clear. ymmv. You t...

@tvad I know many of your components and have heard systems as yours. It is all about the individual listener, and my intent was not to hurt your feelings. I am so so sorry, with sugar on top. BTW, you might not enjoy my system either, but my syst...

tvad, your system is lovely, and I am sure your system does all of that for you. But for my needs, my tastes, my expectations, many pieces of your system would not do it for me, and I know many that are in my camp. My best and always, enjoy. MrD.

Here I go again.....One problem I see constantly is listeners have the wrong gear for their rooms and/or tastes. Other problem I see, listeners are still trying to figure out what characteristics of recorded music playback are important to them, t... 
So, a reviewer just said something I need to talk about.

@audphile1 +1, very nicely said, but "Keith Don't Go" is also a standout to Nil's musicianship and virtuosity as a guitar player and singer. As I still communicate with many of my customers whom I’ve consulted with and folks I have met since, ther...

As a Klipsch follower/user/tweaker/modifier/listener of 56 years, who has met PWK on a couple of occasions during my life, I feel saddened by what I read from Greg Roberts. If not for the horn design of PWK, Roberts would not have his Vittora mode...

The Klipsch Heritage series cabinets are made here, as are the pro and cinema lines. All of the others are made in China. At one point Klipsch used 3/4 Baltic Birch. To the individual who has the Belles, damp the horns and purchase an RSL 12s subw...

Speaking of Jeff Beck, and later the mention of Rod Stewart, the duo gave meaning to their remake of Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready". One word describes it. Amazing. Enjoy ! MrD.

@wolf_garcia "It would be ridiculous to judge any music for sound instead of musicianship". "Do people actually do that?" EXACTLY my point ! Yes wolf, there are many. Too many in fact, which I find sad. However, if they are enjoying their systems,...
