  1. Second question. Is it you or the wife wanting “in wall/ceiling” type speakers because the look of the room overrides the sound? Or is that purely because of what they suggested? if the latter, you will get better performance out of speakers with their own enclosures fyi.
  2. Thank You man! It sounds even better if you can imagine!! very happy with this now. It’s rivaling the DAC/Streamer.
  3. Double duty. upgraded the TT and phono pre otherwise no other changes. in ceiling surrounds by Def Tech.
  4. I got this about a week or so ago, Rega P6 (already had Ania MC Cart) and also got the Rega Aria Phono pre. Definitely upped my vinyl game, superb.
  5. Wrong Noise, amperes, circuit boards, SNR, THD etc all come into play as a deterioration to the source automatically with "most" AVR's Separates are typically made in such a way to eliminate as much of that noise as possible, yes even SS.
  6. Maybe because you say that if SS is to be used, that it doesn’t matter to have an AVR type amplifier vs the separates. That is comical.
  7. It is a beast. Underrated sub holds its own against JL’s and REL’s at twice the price.
  8. I have 45 for my CW -IV’s and an SVS SB16 Ultra. I do have a pre amp made for blending. Parasound P6
  9. I run Def Tech center and surrounds. Mixes very well with the CW IV’s. Not perfect obviously, but great for me.
  10. I’ve been very happy for the last 12 months also (which is stark contrast to the years previous ) just move them back towards wall about 6” away / slightly toe’d in, and got some better imaging as a result. I’m so happy with these CW’s!!
  11. I have the CW’s about 12’ apart and we sit about 10’ away. I have experimented with toeing in, but prefer them flat. They are about 10” off the back wall.
  12. P6 is not only a Swiss Army knife of a pre, it has superb SQ for the coin. especially if you have a need of HT bypass or integrating a sub into 2ch (or both like me) great preamp.
  13. Having heard the Mac gear at my dealer with the CW IV’s, I wasn’t impressed with the newer Mac hybrid gear. Seemed to get a little brittle at the top end. Conversely, at home with the A21+, there is no end to the clarity and power these speakers were made for. I love the look and legacy of Mac gear, but too often they never get compared to newer higher end SS amps. Not saying Mac gear is bad, just saying they are not the only game out there for $5kish front end.
  14. Digital sources have really come up in SQ over the last 10 years. I think you will can have vinyl trounce all media, but you need quite a few $$ to do so. whereas with digital, the investment to get top end SQ is competitively lower. $3-5k gets you in the top end of digital reproduction (assuming the files are top quality) IMO you need to drop well over $10k to trounce that in a TT whole setup. (Table, needle, pre etc)
  15. Nice! I too recently got my first set of Klipsch and they too are CW IV’s. they just sound better and better over time. congrats.

    I can say that this is one of that best SS amps in the price point available. Phenomenal power and Class A for first 6 watts.

    You’ll be back
  18. SVS SB16 Ultra is anything but a toy. Most any of their products are fantastic value. Shame there are folks who are ignorant.
  19. Bought my teenager a car
  20. I have the Parasound P6 and it’s phenomenal for its price. More inputs than you could ever use, phono preamp (which I have not used) DAC (have not used either) and incredible bass management if you ever want to add a subwoofer.
  21. Beauty of this hobby is that one can choose whether you want to be a purist and stay away from anything changing the signal like Shakey mentioned, Or have fun and listen to the music how you want even if it changes it. I am a believer in a pure signal and have not used tone controls for some time. But I do understand and appreciate those who want that control. One of the reasons I went with the Cornwall’s is the emotion they give me. That was coming from very accurate speakers AND after auditioning $8k Monitor Audio towers. I just preferred the sound. Maybe they aren’t SUPER accurate to the source sound (low end) but they are fun and that’s what counts for me.
  22. Listening to John Digweed - Last Night At Output right now on the CW IV’s with SVS low end. Glorious
