Pulled the trigger on the 1 year old Cornwalls. Perfect condition. I think they are outstanding looking with the walnut but ymmv. They sounded really really good at the sellers house. He had a real nice Ayon tube setup. Super dynamic and waaay smoother and layered than I expected. Really nice tone. I was ready to pull the trigger on some Paradigm S6 v.3 and the local seller messaged me back about the Cornwalls and we agreed on a price I think was fair for both of us.
Way different presentation from my Focals and it seems like what I’m looking for although I love me some Focal. Using a Lyngdorf 3400. Even before room correction they sound super powerful and no fatigue. Gonna run room correction and bring in the subs tonight.
