| Klipsch Cornwall IV I’ve owned these speakers since December 2020--Ozzy really motivated me because I respect his opinions and measured views. I was coming from Forte IIIs. Here’s what I’ve experienced: Break-in . It was real, but at about 75-100 hours everything set... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @donsachs , Very good to see you here Don! Do you think you will go through with the crossover mod (VCaps)? | |
| The Luxman L-595A SE integrated is coming. I really wanted to like the look and was hoping others were just being too dark on it, as I love this brand. Well, you are all right. Not a great aesthetic. Why sooooo many buttons when a switch or dial would do, leaving space for Lux's iconic... | |
| I finally added a second REL Sub Oz, be careful buddy! Your subs don't look set up with way some may want so they must sound terrible. HA!!!! | |
| I finally added a second REL Sub @rauliruegas , Always good to hear from you Raul. I think I understand what you are saying. Specifically, you (and your thread) like to hear and see that users allow more overlap on the crossover between what the subwoofer puts out and what the ... | |
| I finally added a second REL Sub @keelyofmb, REL doesn’t make it too easy to tell the exact settings in numerical terms. I’ll add up the hash marks and non adjustment clicks to get you a better answer. For now, they are set with the crossover at about 9 o’clock and volume slightl... | |
| I finally added a second REL Sub Golfnutz, ?! Thanks for saying my thread is pointless. Yes, if going out and buying gear and setting it up as the mfr suggests is novice and not to your liking, the lions share of posts here are just that. I must be an idiot along with others and ... | |
| I finally added a second REL Sub Seems like much gets lost in translation. I do follow the REL method--nearly to spec. But, even REL recommends fine tuning. What I was saying is that I do the fine tuning by ear listing to actual tracks with actual instruments--i.e. isolated kic... | |
| I finally added a second REL Sub @mozartfan, There is absolutely no boom box effect. What's more, REL subs are (unless they are HT subs) specifically designed for music. They are more appropriately sub bass systems. It sounds like you haven't tried modern subwoofers. Not try... | |
| I finally added a second REL Sub Yes, Millercarbon, I started the hobby in earnest in the 1990s. It is sad and puzzling the these devices got such a bad rep that they have been held back, at least a bit. For every a-phile who uses one, it seems there's more who cannot stand the... | |
| How much reality do you really need? I think I"m with Mapman--enough to hold my attention. Musicality is key for me. Sometimes reality is not in keeping with enjoyment. Usual it is though. | |
| KT150s in a Preamp Design? Hey Noromance, what is the make/model of that phono stage? Sounds interesting. | |
| KT150s in a Preamp Design? Got it. That makes sense. I'm wondering what the sonic benefit would be. Seems that 6SN7 would be big enough. A KT150? My lord! | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. @johnfritter, Willsenton, Muzishare, and Doge Audio all make wonderful tube amps. The Doge stuff is really well made; the caps and topology are super regardless of where the amp is made. I think it's important to recognize that there is a bunc... | |
| BUI - Guilty @OP, I hope you have some hours this holiday weekend to sit back with the BAT! Enjoy! |
