I ran across Mitja Borko's comprehensive field test of the Cornwall II, after I had owned it for several years, and I agree with his evaluation. Here is the portion of his comments which endear me to the Cornie, over all other speakers I have heard since I became interested in accurate sound reproduction in 1959. "Transients are excellent. Drums are explosive, trumpets are absolutely persuasive, piano has its punch, voices are dynamic, everything is in its place - just every single detail. There are very few loudspeakers around (in absolute meaning of the word) which can do this job so very well. Regardless of price range." These are very strong words, particularly since Borko is an electrical engineer and award-winning consultant to the electronics industry who has evaluated hundreds of devices over a period exceeding 40 years. His scientific methods of measurement in actual home listening conditions far exceed the largely subjective impressions of the typical audio periodical journalist, who must be responsive to the publisher's need for advertising revenue.
