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

It's easy. If the speakers are biwire, hook them up to the tweeter terminals on top of the regular speaker wire. The planar magnetics didn't come with any wire, and I had to do it myself, but the Townshends came with all of the wire and hookups. It took about 60 seconds to connect them.  
The Aperion planar magnetic super tweeters sound nice...breaking in nicely!  They have adjustable level and crossover controls and WBT connections.  Got matching cables for $70 really nice quality.

I've run my CW IV with a Naim Uniti Nova, which is a really nice match for the CW IV. SS & Tubes each have their own unique strengths, which is better would be a matter of personal taste.

For me, bass performance was better with the Naim but not by enough of a margin to keep me away from tubes. My preferred amp with the CW IVs is an Audio Note Cobra. It's a Class A PP EL34 design that puts out 28 watts, mid-range is fantastic (superior to the Naim) and it's dead quiet--even at idle.
