kh,I work for an independent label, and in fact we released at one point records by one of the bands you mentioned. (We can discuss via email if you like!)
It's exactly this music that is UNLISTENABLE on the Cornwalls. I bet that most of the people who own Cornwalls don't listen to modern recordings on them. That's just a suspicion of mine.
Please don't discount my room -- though I've tried to treat it, it's awful. One of its features is 5 windows at end set fairly closely together. However, I have tried the Cornwalls in every conceivable listening position, and one thing that remained constant was the treble problem.
I'd also mention that I have issues with driver integration... I often perceive holes between bass and mids, and mids and treble, though not again on all types of music... once more, this could be room-specific.
Amplification: I've tried the Paramours (in their progressively more and more upgraded versions, lately with expensive nickel Magnequest output transformers), a Scott 299-B, and a Bogen DB-212 (another vintage push-pull). The Cornwall problems manifested themselves equally with all 3 amps. (Unfortunately I never tried them with SS amplification, despite having a McCormack DNA-125 here for a while!)
Hope this helps. I think the key for you, obviously, is to hear the speakers first. A 12-hour trip might be worth it, if you could bring your Moondog and a CD player and try to hook them up at the other end?
Best of luck,
J!
