| klipsch cornwall iv upgraded crossovers If you found the CW IVs to be bright, hard to listen to, and basically fatiguing after 20 minutes why did you buy them in the first place? | |
| klipsch cornwall iv upgraded crossovers @larryi well said. Changes are not guaranteed to be improvements and there certainly seems to be a tendency towards more is better. That’s kind of where I was going with bringing cognitive dissonance into the conversation, it provides a behavioral... | |
| klipsch cornwall iv upgraded crossovers Actually never mind, I just found this guys video comparison Dynamat mod on Klipsch. Personally I think it sounded better before, less muffled. Yes, different speaker but I think I’ve gotten my answer on that particular mod, the difference was ac... | |
| klipsch cornwall iv upgraded crossovers @rajugsw please tell me you have some before and after audio you can share. | |
| klipsch cornwall iv upgraded crossovers @wrm57 start with this Click here. You are fooling yourself if you think I’m the one being closed minded. Ive done a ton of blind testing. I make a conscious effort to be as objective as possible when it comes to evaluating gear. I don’t dismiss... | |
| klipsch cornwall iv upgraded crossovers Yep blame YouTube. Blame the recording equipment. Typical excuses. And some of those reviewers use very high end equipment and even include links to non compressed audio. What nobody seems to be willing to acknowledge is that these changes typical... | |
| klipsch cornwall iv upgraded crossovers @wrm57 so prove it. If it’s not subtle then it should be easy to demonstrate in a video comparison. Please note, I’m not expecting you to actually tear apart one of your speakers just to prove a point, but I think your claim is absolutely worthl... | |
| klipsch cornwall iv upgraded crossovers @atlvalet id be less skeptical if one of these charlatans had the conviction to post before and after videos so we could A/B the difference. And not a bunch of useless graphs like Danny. Actually A/B the before and after with various songs in a co... | |
| klipsch cornwall iv upgraded crossovers No, just no. I’m not wrapping my horns or doing any other ridiculous tweaks. I think the 4th gen Heritage lineup sounds great from the factory, the last thing I’m doing is trusting some diy audio fanboys over the engineers at Klipsch that have bee... | |
| Need a new integrated, what say you? I'm selling a Supernait 2 and used to own the Hegel H160. If you like a more neutral sound go Hegel, the Naim is more focused in the mids. Either would work well with Revel, personally I found the sound of the Hegel a little on the boring side w... | |
| Speaker Efficiency @marktheshark I think you already have one of the best speaker matches (Forte) for the Decware. As others have mentioned, thanks to the ambiguity of speaker sensitivity ratings (adjusted for impedence? echoic vs anechoic?) many speakers measure f... | |
| Speaker Efficiency When you mentioned 80db at your listening position I’m assuming you mean peak not average, which isn’t all that loud. The power needed to increase volume is logarithmic, you can still get to relatively loud levels with low power. Tubes also soft... | |
| Klipsch Heresy vs Forte Wow great video. I think this fleshed out the differences much better than the one Steve Huff did. The La Scala and Forte were the most impressive. I think the Khorns could have been placed a little better. Really loved the sound of the La Scalas,... | |
| Klipsch Heresy vs Forte I wonder why they got rid of the Quartet, there's plenty of room price wise between the Heresy at 3,200 and Forte at 5k, its actually a bigger price gap then the Forte to the Cornwall (6,600), especially when expressed as a % increase. Worried it... | |
| Zu audio @larryi You nailed it, that's exactly how I would describe the Zu Omens I auditioned. Loud and dynamic yes, but also a bit sibilant, thin and edgy. I love loud music (peaks around 90db) but these were speakers I wanted to turn down and became fat... |
