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

Enjoying reading about your experiences Dave.  I have the Cornwall IV and Volti RAZZ as part of my speaker arsenal. Thinking the Razz will probably be better (better construction/parts) but we'll see once I get around to trying both out. Also have a BNIB Decware Tori IV with the $600 upgrade option so we'll have to exchange notes in the future.  Just up the road from you a bit near Peddlers Village.

Amazes me that at least 3 people are screaming "Tannoy" in this thread and your playing Classic Rock.  Tannoy has to be one of the WORST brands I have heard playing Rock.  Wonderful with lightweight fluff, Female vocals etc but will make you sleep thru "Dark Side of the Moon". Dont waste your time.
Very cool RIAA...not too far!  A nice IPA or wine TBD awaits your presence 👌🏻  Sticking with the Krell K300i for now...not in budget for Tori IV right now.  The new Krell Class A sound is quite addictive.
