| Klipsch Cornwall IV @jbhiller Thanks for the offer, but even with detailed photos, quite frankly, I'm unlikely to attempt these modifications. I lack two necessary things at the moment - time and patience. Maybe one day, as I'm sure the mods would make these speakers... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @donsachs Have you ever thought of YouTubing your Cornwall upgrade process? I'd love to see the step-by-step action from removing the back through putting it back on after all the mods. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV I’m in the camp where I believe that mods would help, but I don’t have the knowledge or time to dig into learning how to do this myself. I wish I could easily tackle all the mods that have been recently discussed. Maybe someday in the future. That... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @donsachs Your input, experience, and perspective here is very appreciated. As I'm considering Cornwalls, I see you mention that they're "not a perfect speaker." For the sake of comparison, what would you consider to be closer to "perfect?" I unde... | |
| Speaker upgrade question. When I'm doing this type of research, I don't consider it "upgrading." It's brining in a different sound. I don't necessarily want my next speakers to sound better that what I have - I want them to be great in a different way. I'll listen to the n... | |
| Subwoofer Recommendation for Harbeth SHL5+ I’m curious to hear what OP purchased and how that worked out. I have a very similar setup - SHL5+ in one end of a large finished basement. Thinking about adding just one sub - at least for now. How has the experience been adding the sub(s) with t... | |
| Just installed a bluesound node 2i , quality not so good I think of the Bluesound as merely a transport for streaming services / Roon. It will remain pretty stable and capable of performing this function for a while. But DACs will change - either because of technology or we just want to try something di... | |
| Interconnect cable recommendations for Node 2i and DAC Agreed with the previous comment. Take that money and buy a DAC now - you'll hear more differences with, for instance, a Topping D30 sitting between the Node 2i and your amp than you will spending that money on cables. I've got a Topping D90 with ... | |
| Where do you go after a BlueSound Node 2i? Another vote for the Topping D90 via coax from the Node 2i. Sounds great.But I'll take this another direction. If you want a different, better interface for your Node, think about Roon. I only have a few digital albums on a hard drive, but with Qo... | |
| Integrated Amp $1200 or less I also have a Node 2i and a Topping D90 and am very happy with that combination. But going back to the original question, I have these going into an Outlaw Audio RR2160. This receiver is a great box that does a lot of things pretty darn good. Tota... | |
| Amplifier or Receiver My use case is a bit different - it's not home theater, but instead pure 2 channel stereo. I stream Qobuz from a Bluesound Node 2i. The Node has an internal DAC but I believe I'll do better with an external DAC. I may also bypass my CD player's DA... | |
| Amplifier or Receiver I reached analysis paralysis on the DAC front (as I did with speakers a while back) and just went with a personal ratio of good reviews and cost. Bang for the buck type of thing. This site measures lots of DACs and sang praises for the Topping. ht... | |
| Amplifier or Receiver Please tell us how you like the Yamaha integrated amp when it arrives. I'm looking at the same one, myself. Prices on this model Yamaha are going down since they introduced the new a-s2200 and the differences seem minimal. What's "reasonable" for ... | |
| Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp? Pardon the potential silly question, as I’m new to the idea of separates. I’m thinking of a solid state amp with a tube pre-amp. Do some / many / most tube pre-amps have the ability to bypass the tubes and go solid state when desired? This seems l... |
