Klipsch Cornwall IV
My CW IV are 4’ from the sidewalls, the tweeter is 32" from the back wall and my ears are 9’8’ from the tweeters. I have a slight toe-in as well. I’ve also done a couple tweaks: 1) I’ve placed dynamat on the horns and woofer cage. 2) I placed the speakers on Townshend seismic bars. Finally, I use a subwoofer. |
@ozzy62 After installing the speaker bars, I immediately noticed the midrange was clearer, voices more 3D. One thing I noticed, however, was that bass seemed like it had diminished significantly--that was until I turned on my subwoofer. I’m not sure why, but cleaning up the bass distortion on my main speakers made the subwoofer’s contribution sound so much better than before. The bass is tighter, cleaner and plentiful. I have the Size 1 seismic bars and have them run from front to back. You can see them in my virtual system here on Agon. Prior to the seismic bars, I had the following isolation pads that I got on Amazon. I liked the sound one these pads better than on the floor. I learned of these through a review for the Volti Razz. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075MMT68C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |
Fun fact...dug out some old cables I have on hand just to check my ears. They all sound different...sorry Audioholics 😔 Reminded me why I love MIT products...just so much more realistic sounding on every level! My REV MIT loom delivers better tone, articulation, clarity, dynamics, bass definition and extended airy highs. Everything sounds muffled and constricted comparatively! The MIT cables delivered most of the improvements sought by other audiophiles via extensive and costly tweaks. Get the room and cables right first...then tweak 👂 |
