You've heard and like the Cornwalls, going to trade them out in 1 - 2 years, rich buddy with good/great price. What was the question again?
Have the itch yet again. $5-6k budget for floorstanders.
Well I've owned around 20 floorstanders over the last 30 years. Ridiculous I know but for me that's the hobby: trying new gear every 1-2 years. Anyhoots currently have Zu DW6 Superfly in my main rig, Wharfedale Evo 4.4 in the small TV room. Have both tube & SS amps I rotate. Yesterday I sold my SVS Ultra Tower (the prior version) ergo gots me thinking, so fun to go shopping, no? I listen to mostly jazz, on vinyl & via Qobuz. Some beats also (downtempo/chill). I used to rock out but nevermore. Prefer to stay under 100lbs; not getting any younger. I do have a SVS sub the SB 2000 pro btw.
Here's my short list:
- SVS Ultra Titan
- MOFI 888
- Dali Opticon 8
- Cornwall IV (rich buddy downsizing)
- Goldenear T66 (owned the orig Triton One way back 2013, dug them, had to downsize for a move)
- Dyn C2 (wildcard, never heard em, wish I could audition)
Anyhoots, who wants to chime in?

I have the SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacle and am extremely happy with them, the Titans are similar and, from what I hear, punch way above their price point. That said, Cornwall IV’s at the right price ($4-4.5k in good condition) would be tempting and could always be resold for little or no loss if you wanted to change! |
@wlutke @macmx122 turns out his Cornwalls are not the IV but older version. Also, I’ve never heard Cornwalls IRL. He made me offer of $7500 on his Revel yesterday, sweet dealio I reckon but I’ve never heard them IRL is the rub. @erik_squires I have mad computer skills but sans assembly skills. |
