Been there with my Cornwalls.......

and even good SS drives me out of the room, but if I were to take another swing at it I'd build a First Watt clone.

I have looked at the first watt as a project. I have Forte & Cornwalls. Use a DIY SET 2A3. The Klipsch speakers will show unrefinement quickly. I was surprised how well a Philips 7851 receiver played thru the Forte. Not a 2A3, but did not run me out of the room.

  I enjoy my Philips 785, 796 and, 797 through my Heresys IIs.

  and my take is that the Forte was a bit more forgiving and the Kg-4 more forgiving than that. I didn't really have any success with any of them using SS though. YMMV, and I hope that it does. The First Watt looks like a great, and fairly simple, project though.

    I will switch the Cornwalls to the 2A3 SET amps & place the Forte on the SS amp. The Cornwalls are better at jazz & classical music & Forte are preferred on rock music.
    - I bet you are going to have a great time.....enjoy! nt - viridian 15:17:27 07/03/12 (0)
