- Two weeks and three weekends later. These Speakers are still blowing my mind.
Equipment In-Wall Rack Complete
Link to AR’s recent Video - some really good ideas there
• NO MORE UGLY LISTENING...
Good video my friend i just got done painting my house as You know projects never ends, make sure you have enough ventilation for all electronics don't let them overheat , keep up the good work 👍.
Thank you Brother. Yeah, if I run the BAT preamp and the STAX headphone amplifier. That’s 10 tubes !
@2:52 25 hz... yes... I'm a bad boy... I'm putting my cornwall IV's on top of my two sp-150 subs.... I will have a mountain of speakers... of pure gold... I will probably spend a lifetime mastering how to tune them as well.. but I am grateful to be at a point in my life where I have that high quality problem.
Joey G, you’ve come a long way baby since your first video system. You sound so “dialed in”, enjoy it buddy! 😎
Thank you D Sak. Yeah, it’s been a 3 year ($$$$) journey into 2 channel serious listening but the results are more than worth. Many many many mistakes were made along way ($$$) but now I’m just about at the end of the Journey but will keep posting more personal journeys of my budget and non budget Audiophile experience.
The first one was the Digital Journey that I posted a few months ago. The next one will be on Speakers and Subwoofers. It will be hilarious, full of great stories, and my usual “personal” touches 🙂.
Nice job on that built in rack. Man, I wish I was that handy! 👍🏻
This was my first time attempting something like this and both my Wife, my Son, and the Dog (Happy) were a bit concerned. Maybe I’d bitten of more than I could chew.
Hell, up by where you, that hole in the wall would knock $100,000 CDN off of the value of the house 😅.
@@joeygsaudiochannel3972 Real estate is crazy here. That hole would be a feature that would add 150K then the house would go an additional 200k over asking and then someone would lease said house or demolish and put up something ridiculously extravagant. Haha. Still drooling over those speakers. We gotta have a chat about some options I’m looking at for down the road 👍🏻
@@MisterChibs For sure. Let’s do another Zoom. Friday is good. Email me when you are free. rajugsw@gmail.com.
Nice setup
Thanks man !
Seeing that garage on the backside of your front wall... conjures up an IB sub integration.
I built an attic IB, four Fi IB3-18" drivers in a dual-opposed manifold config. Single digit extension.
It's worth noting, IBs are super efficient in the lowest octaves... ie., approx 10x reduction in amp power required (my 18"s need about 300w each to hit full stroke, whereas an 18" in a typical box would need 3000w or more to hit full stroke).
That said, they're not for everyone.
I own Forte IVs. Are Cornwall IVs more smoother. For my room I love the bass on the Fortes. I have a feeling Cornwalls will shake my room and cause room node problems.
Nah....The Cornwall's in my room hit 30Hz with ease but then attenuate anything below 29Hz. My room only rattles when I have the Subs on now...LOL.
@@joeygsaudiochannel3972 Ok gotcha! How are mids and highs compared to Forte IVs?
@@klepp19 Bigger if that helps. They have similar Horn topology but since the Woofer x's over to the midrange @ 700Hz. You'll hear more details in the music.
@@joeygsaudiochannel3972 Thanks for sharing your thoughts!😊
great rig man contrags! My only concern is the class D amp... does it match well with the Cornwalls? Those babies were made for tubes!!
For the mids/highs, yes Tubes or a Pass type First Watt amplifier (or my little McIntosh MC50’s whenever they are back from repair).
But that 15” Woofer and the three ports from the RP600M needs the 500W@4ohms that the Orchard Audio Amplifier has while still giving the horns the Tubey sweetness without all that heat 🙂.
@@joeygsaudiochannel3972 yeah!! That's great!
The shelves look good! Love the bare feet too!
Thanks man. Had fun on Friday. Now I have all 5 channels going.
Does anyone know if this Klipsch Cornwall 4 compares to a Tannoy Berkeley Original in pure sound quality❓Is this speaker just a heavy metal in your face type of speaker...
I haven't heard the Berkley's but I have heard the big Driver Tannoy's at t friends home a few years back. I'd assume the listening experience would be different in that a big diameter co-centric driver vs horn loaded loaded Mid/Tweet with a big diameter ported Woofer.
I'd love to hear a pair of Berkeley's though. I'm a Tannoy fan too !
Play it
Please make sure you never leave your car running in the garage. Carbon monoxide is a killer.
Ha ha !
Nice setup! Looking to add a Monolith 5 Channell to my Yamaha RX-A 1080. Cornwall 4s as my mains and a Heresy 4 as a center - My old RF 62s in the back. Thoughts?
Damn, my thoughts exactly. I have enough space under the TV for a single Forte IV. But a Hersey IV would do 🙂.
A full on Klipsch Heritage front line with towers in the surrounds is perfect !
There is Bass down to below 40Hz in the surround channels especially in Music SACD’s, and BluRay/DVD-Audio discs.
I have an all Klipsch heritage home theater with Khorns as my mains. It’s freaking awesome! Love multichannel music on it
@@jebcamaro That's amazing ! What are you using for the Center and Surrounds ?
@@joeygsaudiochannel3972 Center: Heresy I and side surrounds Chorus I and rear surrounds Cornwall I's. I do have a REL subwoofer in the mix as well. Extremely dynamic setup. I love it!
How do you find the Klipsh vs your open Baffel
The problem with my Open Baffles versus the CW4’s was the OB’s were very natural sounding and had tons of Bass when called upon but sorely lacked the three dimensionality and extremely focused phantom center image that the CW4’s have in droves.
An excellent question. I’ll be doing a comparison video between all the Speakers that I’ve either borrowed, bought, or built over the past few years and explain exactly why these have become my “Forever Speakers”.
Thanks for the question Anand !
@@joeygsaudiochannel3972 gosh the phantom centre is so important ,have a LXMini wonderful 2 way but not for spl
And I am trying to make a diy of the larger 18 or 21” OB 3 way.
@@anandshah71 You'l nned a clean and very powerful Amplifier for the Bass but the Midrang/Tweeter region, you can getaway with almost anything. Send me a picture when it's done and I'll feature it in an upcoming Video.
I can get 20HZ with mine.
You're a better Man than me Mike...LOL ! Aren't they great Speakers though ? Listening to Ray Brown's Soular Energy at this moment.
@@joeygsaudiochannel3972 You know I'm still trying to sort the placement out. The go to methods aren't working with these so far. I'm also surprised at the front tilt you have on yours. How to you figure that angle in?
@@MikeGervasi Canadian Ingenuity (Hockey Pucks) and some luck dialing them in.
