  1. TLDR but has anyone else had reoccurring issues with hiss/static with their Topping?  My first one made it about 6 months before I had to ship it back after both channels started having static issues.  The RMA I got back (after waiting 3 months or so to get back from China) lasted about the same amount of time and now my left channel has static but not the right (yet).  Just curious if anyone else has had these issues?

    Thanks bringing this back on topic. 
     

    what are some new SS amps that would be a good match with cornwalls?

    I will say having had a jubenstein that A LOT of modern SS and Tube amps will introduce hiss/noise on high sensitivity speakers like the Cornwall.  I am currently using the Topping PA5 for my uppers and it’s been the only amp that is silent.  I’ve tried tube amps and other higher priced SS amps and all of them introduced noise and or hiss.  The topping for whatever reason is totally silent and clean.  May want to give it a spin since it’s so affordable and see how it sounds for the Cornwall?  You could always bi amp and high powered amp for the lowers..

  3. To the OP I know you posted about trying to figure out why the bass is poor on your La Scalas but imho there was a reason I moved from la scalas to belles and wasn’t happy till I settled on K402 with direct radiating lowers.  The large horn with a direct radiating woofer (heresy, Cornwall, cornscala, ect) has way more bass.  I think it boils down to the type of sound you like. And it sounds like (pun intended) that you may want to try out a Cornwall.  I think you may find it has more of the sound character you are looking for.

  4. I’ll chime in as a former P-17b owner.  They don’t sound like Klipsch, they sound like Klipsch trying to compete with B&W high end speakers. No soul no excitement. Smooth and bland. Non offensive but they don’t put on a show.

     

    Different strokes for different folks but I’d take the Heresy’s everyday and twice on tuesdays.

  5. Infinite baffle ceiling mounted “vents” directly into attic. You can brace it better.  I’m thinking the drywall won’t hold up to the vibrations as well with wall mounted.

    My original review stated exactly what you said. The amp was bright and a bit lean in my system. Easily fixed with a sub or a 3db cut of the highs in my system (speakers rub 3db hot out of the box for behind the screen). 

    Same experience here. Lowered treble by 1 on my McIntosh C2600 and the highs sound perfect now. I’m so impressed with this amp.

  8. If you had put in all of your investable money the day before each of the major stock market crashes in the past forty years And left your money in the entire time he would be a millionaire now. Tell me what warren Buffett is doing and I’ll tell you what you should be doing with your money.  The ultra wealthy do things that have no bearing on our financials.  Get/be debt free, have a safety net savings account, and invest the rest in long term solid investments.  Will the crash hurt, only if I look at my investments the day of the crash.  It’s ok chicken little, the sky is not falling unless you weren’t planning ahead…

  9. I guess Klipsch isn’t making the commercial jubilees available to the public anymore?? If you spend some time lurking on Craigslist and eBay you can put yourself together one. And with an active crossover it takes the speaker to a whole nother level.  All the things everyone talks about with standard heritage speakers is mainly due to lack of ability to change the crossover for your needs.  Once you throw an active xo in the mix the results put all these other discussions to rest

  10. I use the crown xls on my dual jbl 18” lowers on my jubinstein. Silent, power for days, and never breaks a sweat. I’ve been through so much gear in the last 10 years getting to this point.  I’d say save the headache and just go with a crown xls that has enough watts and call it a day.
