Just need the "one speaker to rule them all" -
How do I get bass out of Klipsch Cornwall IV?
Kalifornian replied to Square Ian's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
Ummmm and here I thought I was the only person in the world that likes (i love it personally) Morning Phase. Just a great, easy to listen to, album. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to sit back, relax, and enjoy pleasing sounds entering your earholes -
Recommend SS amp for my K402 and stock driver
Kalifornian replied to Kalifornian's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
Sent a message to buckeye on usaudiomart. Waiting on a reply. -
So i have a jubenstein with K402 uppers and jbl dual 18" bassbins for lowers. I was originally using a custom tube amp for the uppers but i have since purchased a McIntosh C2600 tube preamp and want to pair a good SS amp to drive the uppers. Obviously a McIntosh stereo amp makes sense but I'm looking for a more affordable option for now (under $1500). Was looking at the Schiit Agear want to know other options that people have actually heard and would recommend.

Xillica is really the only choice for home hifi dsp. Imho

Yes indeed. And there are a bunch of threads here on how to use it as well. -

Kalifornian replied to Square Ian's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
From my experience the "affordable" dsp solutions are way too noisy for high sensitivity speakers. It wasnt till i moved to the xillica 4080 before it all just worked and sound awesome. -

Active crossover for the win here fellas -
Ok I'll bite. I would counter its like the religious people that dont believe in modern medicine and keep their kids from getting basic medical care. This isnt birth control or sex reassignment. If you can trust a 16 year old with car and all the decisions and responsibility that comes with it then you can trust them with a vaccine.

NORMALLY if you've blown, ripped, or torn something you will absolutely notice it. There are circumstances where it might be something that takes a while to manifest.

Specs are a funny thing. I run my Forte III's currently off of my Marantz receiver and I can drive everyone out of the house without much of a challenge, and the sound quality is excellent. With the Cornwalls I'm guessing the crossover is sending most of the power to the LF driver anyways. I would recommend just using the Marantz to start, my guess is you will be more than happy, if not, grab a Mac amp after that.
-
Just my 2 cents from my many experiences with my changing Klipsch speakers and changing components. I've narrowed it down to Marantz and McIntosh gear that sounds best to my ears. If you are looking at mutli channel home theater setup get a high end Marantz receiver and call it a day and save thousands of dollars. If you MUST have McIntosh gear somewhere for the looks put a nice Mcintosh tube amp off the preouts on the Marantz to your Cornwalls. The sound quality difference is negligible at best. (For my hearing)

Just noticed how crappy those pics are. If you would like better pics PM me

Barely used. Original box and rack ears. No pets, no smoke, no kids. $700 and split shipping to CONUS

Both purchased new and mounted into my rack. No pets, no kids, no smoke. The P6 got a ding when I was mounting it on the faceplate (see pic). Other than that they are flawless. I have original boxes and parts plus the mounting brackets for rack mounting. Also selling custom tube amp and Rotel amp and will add those details shortly. I would prefer to sell these as a pair as they work extremely well together. $2000 for the pair and split shipping to CONUS

WTT my RTX 3090 for McIntosh or Primaluna pre
Kalifornian replied to Kalifornian's topic in Garage Sale
Tempted but really wanting a tubed pre.... -
I know its a stretch but if there is anyone that wants to trade a McIntosh C2500 or newer preamp or Primaluna Evo 400 preamp for my almost new hardly used gaming 3090 RTX video card I'm ready.

Again, hi-fi audio is subjective. Price may, or may not, play a factor in a persons subjective view of what hi-fi is. A $40,000 amp that sounds the same as a $500 Chi-fi amp isnt going to qualify as hi-fi in my book. BUT someone with more refined hearing or younger ears may think that it does. Or some rich person may feel the need to own something that most people cant and it therefore qualifies as hi-fi to them.

Beyond Burger has replaced all my dietary meat needs other than when I want a legit fillet mignon or rib eye. Beyond Burger (to me) legit tastes better than hamburger

I bought one of his custom made line stages about 4 years ago. Was a great tube product. Highly recommend

My Belle clones just not sounding right...
Kalifornian replied to avguytx's topic in Technical/Restorations
Ah yes! Also side note, havent touched my lps in months. Hi res streaming quality is so good and the ease of making playlists and discovering new music just make LP's too much hassle...
