NOSValves Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Yup no ear bleeding with NOS Valves Mark III's or my VRD at any volume from 65dB to the max SLP output of the speakers which by the way on a Cornwall is 112db I think ??? anyone know for sure ? Its not in the currect specs on the klipsch Cornwall page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Songer Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I really can't understand why ANYONE would want to listen to ANYTHING at 107+ db. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Alan, Actually me either for any extented period. I turn them up that loud for testing but almost never listen above 95dB when really listening ! But trust me Old Smilin had me running for the door a number of times at his place with his SS 150 watt BK turned up to 100% playing through 5 cornwalls and a monster sub !! The guy is insane and deaf Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add or subtract from that for additional speakers, distances, and the bump from the room and he might be able to hit 120db in room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use solid state amplification though, but believe me it is LOUD and CLEAN no distortion or break up at those levels! But what else would you expect from 7 Heritage speakers two 15" subwoofers and 2,650 watts of power! ---------------- FRZ I would love to rock out with you man, BTW I do have the B&K 507 which has 150 clean watts driving all 5 corns, the spl is HIGH OH yeah, I also have the SVS B4-plus with the Crown K2 pushing another 2400 clean watts, we could have a STEREO WAR so my power is not bad either with SS, hhhmmmm 7 x 150=1050 + 2400=3450 watts of SS. Now I would just like to be able to hear the corns with tubes at high spl for s*** & giggles if ya know what i mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
