Hi @Flevoman, I too have an amp with EL34s, a Cary SLI50. For more dynamics and precision and after trying EL34, EL34B, 6CA7 big bottle and KT77. My preference is KT77 in 1st and 6CA7 in 2nd. In KT77 I currently use KT77JJ they are very dynamic and with fantastic highs. You can already try KT77JJ on your Dynaco ST70 first before changing amps

Hi, I'm thinking of buying this disc, but in my country they sell this version, a double LPs SONY Legacy in pressing of 2010, list of tracks of the international version. I believe this is a copy of the English Track Records cover from May 1967, you have a Reprise Records US version cover from August 1967. It's about this 2xLPs version, but not Music On Vinyl, a close version but only SONY Legacy, I'll find out a little more: https://www.discogs.com/fr/release/2416762-The-Jimi-Hendrix-Experience-Are-You-Experienced https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Are_You_Experienced#Édition_britannique_et_internationale Edit : I just found the exact version I can buy, it's a SONY Legacy Europe from 2010 repress 2015. I like the photos and the inside booklet and the psychedelic colored disc labels. https://www.discogs.com/fr/release/7577132-The-Jimi-Hendrix-Experience-Are-You-Experienced/image/SW1hZ2U6MjAyNTgyNTY= 😜

If the manufacturer/gentleman tells you that it works with an MC, then trust him and test the ART9xi on your set. On the other hand if it does not work it will be necessary to throw the stone at this gentleman. As Micromara said if it doesn't work that way, then either an MC transformer suitable for ART9xi with a minimum of 100ohms load will have to be added.

Hi Compared to your previous remarks, even if it is air, unfortunately the volume is paid at a high price, because there is wood / glue / stain, storage, handling, packaging, transport ... and its parts cost very dear. But also what is also certain is that the more air there is, the better the loudspeaker, look at the Heritage range: Jubilee is huge If you are interested in seeing the interior of H4 F4 and C4, here are some videos of Paducah Home Theater TV!

Hey man, it's me ☺️ When I was 9 years old, around 1971 / 1972 , I had a nice collection, my first records were all 45 rpm EP 7" (45RPM) offered by Antar petrol stations (manufacturer of oil and petrol in France which does not no longer exists) when the car was refueled: - Ray Charles - Sing the Blues - The Rolling Stones - Paint in Black - Louis Armstrong - Frankie and Johnny - Marc Orgeret - chante Aristide Briant - Los 3 Paraguavos - Guantanamera - Tchaikowsky - Casse-noisette - Aeroplane - September in the Rain - Les Choeurs de l'armée Rouge - Kalinka - Sidney Bechet - Black and Blues - Ten Years After- I'm Coming On - ... nice titles for a first collection, right? I still have a few left on my shelves, and I was proud of my record collection 😉 In the 1970s there was a very big difference between the modern USA with beautiful giant cars and big Harley Davidson motorcycles and our old Europe: an Antar station with a Simca 1000, a Citroën Type H van, a Citroën 2CV van and a small Italian Vespa or Lambretta scooter. And again it is the capital of France Paris - Petit Clamart not the countryside. Edit : And I listened to the records on my sister's Nogamatic Prelude record player, we are far from McIntosh and Klipsch.

Hello @Flevoman Already I must tell you that I am not American, I am French, so be indulgent if I express myself badly and that I write a wrong explanation: if so I think that the Klipsch fans will explain in good American what I trying to tell you. Now the explanation of point 2: I explained this on page 3 post of June 9, 2021: To do the test you take a small cotton towel or felt, you roll it tight and you plug one of the 3 vents of CW4. Felt on mine CW3 You're going to get something that looks like this red curve. simulation made for CW3, but roughly similar to CW4 It is interesting then to raise the curve by 2 or 3 db with the bass button of your preamp, the best is an equalizer centered on 30Hz in our case to compensate for the level between 20Hz and 100Hz approximately and obtain the blue curve: this is what you want. !!! >>>> Of course this remains theoretical and depending on your room and your configuration it may be a little different. And as everything is compromised, the defect is that it raises the distortion a little towards 20 > 100Hz: it's very good for a listening level of 70 to 90db, acceptable for 100 db, less good for 110 db, but the majority home listening is between 70 and 95db, so it's ok Green curve: original CW4, red curve = cotton cloth or felt, blue curve: cloth + equalizer approximately + 3db at 30Hz I specify that I did not invent anything, I just applied to Cornwall what Jean-Michel Le Cléac'h (the father of the famous Le Cléac'h horns) had found for the large Onken 360L. Onken 360L measurements: red 6 vents, green 5 vents, blue 4 vents Tell me if it's ok for you 😁👍

@Idontknow Thank man 👍 Mine McIntosh are C504 preamplifier read there, i described the use of felt in a vent here >>> Example of the result

Hi @Flevoman You can follow some tips here to get more bass on your CW4 1 - For me the first advice you can add 2 or 3 db around 30Hz with an equalizer (ideal McIntosh, Accuphase ... preamplifier or new DSP digital) 2 - Second, if you want a slightly lower Hz setting for your bass-reflex: temporarily plug one of the 3 tubes with felt 3 - Try to bring your CW4s even closer to the wall almost glued to it, you will still gain a little bass 4 - Make 1, 2 and 3 and you'll have a ton of bass just the way you like it Good tests and good listening Read the tips here

Hi @Flevoman , Thank you for this comparison, it is very informative. You have seen what many CWIV users say: lacks a bit of bass and very good mids.

Hi everbody, Miami F1 Grand Prix My favorite French driver is last on the grid due to an accident during practice. But he's a great Esteban Ocon driver, he's going to try to come back and make a top 10 to get points in the world championship!!! Pierre Gasly is great driver too ! Good Grand Prix 😁

Hi @MicroMara and everybody 😀 Mine Enterprise ENS-2-5002 US 1971 : https://www.discogs.com/release/534008-Isaac-Hayes-Shaft

It's weird, because if you read the manual it says: "40 dB gain suitable for all MM cartridges when used in conjunction with a line preamp with at least 10 dB gain." and then the specifications of 47Kohms and 40db correspond well to an MM input. What is destabilizing is that the gentleman tells you that the input is ok with an MC, if it is the manufacturer he must know what he is saying is correct. You can't do a test with an old MC cartridge lying around in a drawer (run a request on this forum for a loan) just to find out if the sound is ok with the Mapletree Phono 3E before buying a nice and expensive ART9 . https://mapletreeaudio.com/manuals/Phono 3E Users Manual.pdf

Hi @mopardave To find out if Mapple Three is compatible with MC AT ART9Xi (great great MC 😍), tell us what your phono preamp model is and give us the specifications of the MC input. If Maple Three is not compatible with MC, you can try the MM from Audiotechnica they are splendid with a great sound VM740ML or VM760SLC 😉

Hi, Here in Europe at a lot more increase than at home again. I bought my Cornwall III new and sealed boxes in July 2016 in Germany for €3020 per pair delivered to my door in France (a 1200kms / 750 Miles trip) on a pallet. Today Cornwall IV cost 8000€ in Germany and 8790€ here in France, that's about 270% or 290% increase, it's crazy!

Hi @Dave A and all, CWIII also has the same wooden braces as CWIV. On the other hand CWIV has a plywood board at the top of the enclosure this is perhaps the difference with CWIII which does not have the plywood board. wooden braces in CWIII Dtel pics plywood board in CWIV at 2:10 > 2:58 😀

2005 prototypes and pre-series and 2006 commercial launch with sale of the first CWIII models

Hello ! Interesting reading, CWIV new Tractrix ports, mid horn is most definitely superior in quality (Tractrix, mumps, top surface....) to CWIII small horn, but some things were good in CWIII too: 😀

Hello ! It's been a long time since I put on an original record that I bought at the time in 1981. It's an LP of German artists for our friend @MicroMara, because he likes it when I put on records from him in Germany 😎 https://www.discogs.com/fr/release/383196-Geile-Tiere-Geile-Tiere http://forschung-kuenstlerpublikationen.de/Geile-Tiere.html https://www.dschungelberlin.de/geile-tiere.html https://www.freitag.de/autoren/der-freitag/geile-tiere

Hi, Among the avenues to explore: Without music, try gently pushing the cone (not by the dust cap) several times: if it scratches, the coil has burned and the varnish is rubbing the air gap, or the spool holder is deformed and rubbing. If so, the coil or the cone/coil/dust cap assembly will have to be changed. You can use the Chat here or ask your questions, they will guide you to repair your speaker: https://www.simplyspeakers.com/Klipsch_bymfg_16-0-1.html https://reconingspeakers.com/products-page/klipsch-k-25k-12-aftermarket-recone-kit-for-forte-ii/ https://reconingspeakers.com/products-page/klipsch-k-28-e-woofer-part-121225/ https://critesspeakers.com/cw1230-12-inch-4-ohm-woofer.html Or Klipsch support ! If you need to change, use either 2 repair kits or 2 identical speakers to have the same sound on each speaker.

Hi @homatose If Part-Express glue is not available, you can help out with wood glue. Use a glue that is not too liquid and without too much excess in quantity, in any case to prevent the glue from flowing towards the coil of the Loudspeaker. The white glue will become transparent and almost invisible after drying. good repair 😎

Arrgggg! I think I pictured a 2021 McLaren F1 🤪 https://www.mclaren.com/racing/partners/klipsch/ This is Lando Norris' 2022 McLaren F1, the spoiler is still awesome

Hi Nanook of the North is a french / american movie of 1922, after decline storie specaly for childs with bear (Nanouk name in inuit, Icebear/Eisbär says Micromara), dog, ... with same name.
