Dear all, many thanks for your precious feedbacks. I have received the Cornwall IV and they are HUGE haha. I plugged them on and spent the entire days playing tracks (basically fused with my chair). A note on the burning period, I can hear from running them how the sound gets better if I compare to a week ago. For now I am driving them with a cheap Denon AVR with Spotify connect and cables I would be ashamed to display. But even so, sound shows potential.
The next step is to decide what will be the rest of the system. I came up with this list of potentials, considering:
- Music first, meaning how "practical" it could be to just have a easy to use system (I am mostly on Spotify Connect at the moment)
- TV on speakers too! Cause why not using these cool speakers for everything if that's possible?
- "It's good enough" feeling, or how it makes sense to buy and keep for years as I would rather not planning to buy and look for the next best things in the coming years
- As less components as possible, homes in HK are small, it's just wiser to go for an integrated amp
So here is my list, feel free to share your opinion if that makes sense to you:
CV4 + Naim Uniti Atom with HDMI
CV4 + AURALiC VEGA G1 / Bluesound Node 2i (Optical input for TV) + Option to add a DAC (DENAFRIPS?) + Primaluna EVO 300 Integrated
CV4 + AURALiC VEGA G1 / Bluesound Node 2i (Optical input for TV) + Vinnie Rossi L2i SE with DAC
