| Tube amp Friendly Speaker That Sounds like Klipsch Cornwall but i am quite surprised to hear you say the x series lacked resolution to your ears I didn't say the X3 wasn't revealing, it is. What I meant was that I disagree that the CW IV is not revealing, because it is too. I think my one disappointment... | |
| preamp upgrade suggestion around $2000 I got the same result with a SLI-80 signature integrated. Very smooth and non fatiguing, but ultimately boring. Not much resolution.Oz | |
| preamp upgrade suggestion around $2000 Out of the ones you mentioned I only have experience with the Cary and the Sachs.Only buy the SLP-98 if your system is bright and you want to tame it. A LOT. The Cary is warm and lush to a fault, at least to my ears.I currently have the Don Sachs ... | |
| Tube amp Friendly Speaker That Sounds like Klipsch Cornwall @jjss49 I sold my spatial audio X3s, which were mighty fine speakers, for a pair of Cornwall IVs. I disagree about how revealing these speakers are. The only two areas I can think of that the X3 pull ahead of the CW are refinement and bass extensi... | |
| Tube amp Friendly Speaker That Sounds like Klipsch Cornwall The CW IV is very sensitive to setup and placement, very chameleon like. In my room they sound best when the axis crosses several feet behind my head. Too much or too little toe in can make them sound edgy or mediocre. But get it right and it is g... | |

| JBL 4349 or Klipsch Cornwall IV I owned the cornscala C version a few years ago. While it is a good speaker, it came with it's own set of problems. First, the crites xovers had to go and were replaced by an ALK version with adjustable taps for the mids. I also wrapped the midran... | |
| JBL 4349 or Klipsch Cornwall IV I'm not sure I'd call them forgiving, but they don't shine a light on poor recordings. I can listen to most anything on them.@mijostyn, are you talking about earlier Cornwalls or the latest?Oz | |
| JBL 4349 or Klipsch Cornwall IV I have owned the CW IV for about six months now and I'm extremely happy with it. It takes a bit of work to get the placement right, but when you do, you will be rewarded. Great tone and texture and dynamics are just what you expect from horns.Oz | |
| My hearing deficits are becoming clear... I believe MC has a lot in common with our prez, they just can’t help themselves. And you can't seem to help yourself when it comes to keeping politics out of an audio forum. Aren't you sick enough of that s&*t from every other possible ven... | |
| Shootout-- Primaluna Dialog HP Integrated/Carver Crimson 275/Elekit 300B I had a carver 275. Very good amp.Oz | |
| Better Amp for Cornwall IV's... The 4 Ohm rating at 1000 Hz just makes me wonder why they didn’t spec it from 20-20000. Because it wouldn’t double the rated power at full band width. So it looks better to the untrained eye to list it as they did. A common trick done by most che... | |
| Better Amp for Cornwall IV's... I assure anyone who cares that the Cornwall IV can achieve extremely loud levels with only 20 watts of tube power in a relatively large room. I do it all the time. | |
| Better Amp for Cornwall IV's... Not a tube guy? Well you should be, you have bought the perfect speakers for tubes.Seriously though. Buy a good tube amp. You can thank me later.....Oz | |
