    Crown XLS 2002 with Cornwalls

    in Solid State

    I tried the XLS 2002 with my modded Klipschorns this afternoon. Not as natural sounding or near the soundstage as the Schiit Aegir, which is no surprise, but the Crown really brings out bass detail.

    Makes me want to retry using the Crown on the bass bins and have the Aegir for uppers. Always fun to play around with stuff.

    Hi,

    This is what I do with my Cornwall III, SS below MC2125 on K33 and Cary SLi50 valves on Horns: I love it.
    Tell us if the test is successful with you

    battle: Cornwall IV vs Tannoy Legacy Arden

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted

    Here in Europe, the battle is even finer because the Cornwall IV cost € 7,990 a pair* and the Tannoy Arden Legacy € 7,800. It's only 190 € apart or only about $ 230 for the pair, it's really thin 😜
     
    * When I think I bought my pair of Cornwall III 3000 € per pair, delivered home on a pallet, in 2016 the increase is amazing

    Hello ! @Woofers and Tweeters

    I'm French, so sometimes I don't understand everything in English! Looks to me like you want to know when Pink Floyd left the PL 700 for SAEs: here's is a nice story of Pink Floyd's Live Sound, so far I've read about PL700 and BSS amplifier, but nothing about SAE : maybe I skipped a line ??? 😜

     

    Note: he talks about lots of nice equipment: Midas, microphones from Shure, Altec, Gauss, ... But, but, but there are P500s to amplify 15", 12" & Tad 2001: P500 are not the SAEs you are looking for?

    In 1984, during the band’s inactive period, Britannia Row Productions became an independent company, purchased from Pink Floyd by Robbie Williams and Bryan Grant. For this tour, Brit Row merged their own facilities with those of their close associates, American-based Maryland Sound Inc. (MSI) whose proprietary PA stock formed the core of the touring system. This featured quantities of 4 x 15-inch low packs, 4 x 12-inch high packs and a TAD 2001 high end driver, all powered by P500 amplification.

    battle: Cornwall IV vs Tannoy Legacy Arden

    The Tannoys have the reputation of being a little dark and the highs are a little listened to, they are sometimes a little soft and not too dynamic, some find that the junction between the bass cone and the midrange horn is sometimes dug. They are soft and immerse you in the middle of the music, their coaxial speakers are a fantastic source point.

     

    The Klipsch they are direct, the sound is often uncompromising with a powerful medium, the bass is light. And depending on the models, they are criticized for being a little short at the bottom (Heresy, La Scala). With a dynamic close to live sound, the Klipsch propels you into the heart of the music, the bass is punchy and articulate, the mids are deep and the treble goes high.

     

    Be careful, these are a little caricatural outlines, some listeners will prefer one, others the other or both. The art will be to make a happy marriage with electronics. I heard big Tannoy monitors with 2x15" and 500 liters of loads of the Gold Monitor series in a mixing studio in Paris: the sound was fantastic.

    Is mild hum normal?

    in Technical/Restorations

    Posted

    Hi @Klipschguy

     

    I have a MC 2125: there has been a very very slight buzzing in the speaker woofers for 15 years, but it has not changed: so I am monitoring. However, I have no noise from the MC2125 amplifier itself, no noise or hum in the shelf.

     

    You can check if no screw or nut is loosened on your transformer itself or at its fixing on the frame.

    Klipsch Cornwall IV, a look inside

    My only experience with olive oil was that the streets around Davis, California were lined with olive trees. They would drop olives onto the pavement, to be crushed by car wheels, not granite wheels. Trying to ride my bicycle across this mess, well, the streets might just as well have been paved with Teflon.

    More seriously, rather than riding bikes on it 😁 it is better to taste olive oil in Mediterranean cuisine: Italy, South of France, Spain, Greece, Lebanon, Tunisia, Morocco, ... and all the others !

     

    It's a delight 😋

    Making speakers is also cooking, and here I would say that the American cooks are very good, especially in Hope 😎

    it's right .. i am the only owner of CW IV on my island. The reseller has no Klipsch Heritage speakers in his shop.

     

    I know someone who have the CW III

    How does the CWIII sound, the bass is good? If so there is no reason that the bass of the CWIVs should not be as good over time.
