I had a pair of Cornwalls in the 70's, then Chorus I's later matched with a Carver M4.0t Silver Seven transfer function amp & it was truly great to my ears. Moved on but still love em.....

Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
Talon Raven-C picked up used here on A'gon from a fine gentleman. Been through more speakers than I care to admit. In my setup they absolutely smoke. They'll be with me a long time.

SONY SCD-1 vs the New Generation of Competition
