Looking for my Final Pair!!
@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 |
I, for one, love my Cornwall IVs. Most people in this thread that say how disappointed you will be have never heard them. It is likely they heard a klipsch speaker 30 years ago on a cheap receiver, poorly set up and established an “informed” opinion that they carry around to this day. Please discount these “opinions” with extreme impunity. I look forward to hearing your personal account of how these speakers perform for you. Oz |
As far as a live concert in a large hall. I think it could be argued that the live concert is not actually "live" ..... huh. Guitars, drums, vocals, keyboards, all hooked up to mics and speakers. Even in a live concert you are listening to 100% speakers in a lot of cases. 100% speakers playing in a massive room. If you could record from each mic separately and then sync and playback in that same venue, would it sound essentially the same? (of course in real life the ambient sounds of the reflected hall would also be in the recording but if you could eliminate that, would it sound the same. I think for the most part, yes |
We were speaking primarily to a live acoustic concert...Symphony! But for amplified concerts there is still a strong dynamic crispness or aliveness that we all can identify instantly! I speak to that energy and vitality in music...this is what often gets lost or intentionally tamped down in some designs. |
