    Yes, depending on condition and functionality.  Big step up from the RF line.

    Do you consider them a big step up from the RF7 series also?

     Depends on what your used to listening to.   Some folks love just the Reference Sound, and other swear by Heritage.................

    to me, there is a Big sound from both the RF7 and Cornwalls, but I prefer the (to me) warmer, mellower sound of the Heritage.........

    JMHO.

    this is right on my backyard. i'd been keeping an eye on craiglist for quite sometimes now.

    i currently have the RF3 set up for hometheater, but might jump on these for music listening downstairs if they are a great deal.

    i will contact the seller to get a hold of this.

    Re: Cornwalls for $500, Good Deal?

    ladies and gentlmen, allow me to introduce to you a pair of CORNWALLs!!!

    WOW was my reaction when I first saw these beauties at the seller house. They are HUGE, now mind you

    i have never seen a CORNWALL in real life.

    He played some blues for me to demo, but once I got them home, I quickly pop in Pavoratti which I have not heard for a while, and boy oh boy do they sing.

    I am not an audiophile soI dont know all the big words, but man, I am in love. They are warm and fill my entire basement with great sound (not loud), just really awesome sounds.

    They are a bit rusty so some cleanup is in the future. To me, they look very nice physically, but might be somewhat bang up for some of you here.

    Well, here are the pics.
