@dave_b,
Thanks.
Thanks.
Looking for my Final Pair!!
Been through the high end maelstrom for over 30 years and although I have enjoyed the ride, I desperately want to find speakers that exude dynamics, tone and presence. I want to be transported to the Village Vanguard where The John Coltrane Quartet are performing any night I desire. I want to feel the timbre of his sax 🎷. When I close my eyes I want to be enveloped by the atmosphere of the space and awash with the impact and emotion being expressed by the musicians. I don’t want to hear what the engineers hear after they mix a recording...I want to be in the studio when the tracks are being laid down! So far, Tannoy Heritage Arden have come to my attention, Klipsch Cornwall IV’s, JBL S4700’s or perhaps Spatial Audio X3’s? Help

@dave_b, All the best with your new Cornwall IV's speakers. Check the link below. The Boston Audiophile. Mike https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDMBQl5jfOs |
@dave_b, ’’Did I mention my system needs to kick arse...like “When the Levee Breaks” at 110db kinda arse!’’ This, is what you want/need. Little two way monitors. lol http://www.thevintageknob.org/jbl-4435.html... https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/jbl-4435-finally-in-the-house.584523/ Also, the JBL 4435 monitor adds a second woofer below 100 Hz to address the IMD and THD that @rauliruegas is talking about. And so does the JBL Everest II. See the JBL tech manual in the link below. btw, Also, see, in the last page of the manual that sensitivity and efficiency is two different specifications. http://www.lansingheritage.org/html/jbl/specs/pro-speakers/1984-4430-35.htm I think you will like your new Cornwall IV’s speakers. No speakers are without fault. Mike |
@dave_b, I concur with your assessment of the Cornwall IV's. I will add they have better dynamic contrast then the B&W, also less money. And the lack of distortion is the reason why I prefer horns for sound reproduction in my home for over forty years. Match the speaker and amp and you should be golden...Happy listening! Mike btw, It was a horn that brought down the walls of Jericho. lol :-) |
@dave_b, I find the Fostex super tweeters work great with horns. Also, did you like the sound of the high frequencies on the JBL 4429's? Mike https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/index.php?p=product&id=193&parent=89&is_print_vers... |
