Description

My eternal chase for point source sound has taken me from Innersound to Vienna to B&W to Tyler to Sanders to Tannoy (Churchill) to Golden Ear to Zu (Druid IV) to Tannoy (DC10T) to KEF (Ref 1) to Sonist to PMC to Fyne to KEF (Blade 2) back to Zu (DW6) & now the Cornwall. I'll review the new Klipsch in Q4 as they need loads of break in. 

Many amps & preamps along the way. Merry go round; but for me that's what makes the hobby fun.

    5 lbs of pure miracle. Bought 1 then another a couple weeks later to vertical biamp in the summer.
    • Pioneer PLX-1000
    Keen to have a direct drive in the rig. Talk about punching above it's weight. Under $800 & sounds delish. Have Zu modded Denon 103 on it.

    Best cart for the bucks around

Zufan, I have two subs from SVS and I’m just blown away by them, especially the 3000 micro. They are an amazing company to deal with, excellent customer service. They are literally within 3 miles of my office. I am going to check out their towers for sure now. Thank you!

Awesome system! and you are right, Billie and George could be cousins or brothers. 
Question: as I read down the comments it seems you once had Tannoy Cheviot's? Those are in my top three for upgrades in 2023. Volti Razz, Klipsch Cornwalls and the Cheviot's. How did you like them?
