you got it. Are they a less prefered Corwall? proko

intertesting. They stand on matching risers, about two inches off the floor, so i guess they were meant, at least this pair, to stand upright, vertically. The tv idea is interesting too. But then, what to do with the other speaker... proko

Can't help but reply. I was with in orchestra on the chailly/decca mahler 10. Incredible experience as the recording testifies. Also like the Ormandy/Philly recording. proko

fun can be had with Holst's THE PLANETS, Respighi's THE PINES OF ROME, (avail. with Reiner/Living Stereo SACD), Saint-Saens' 3rd Sym. (Munch/ Boston SO/ Living Stereo SACD) proko

Just bought a pair of three-way Heritage Series Cornwalls. The woofers and tweeters are not centered. How should they be setup? Woofers centered, or tweeters centered? Appreciate an answer for has to be a really dumb question for you guys. proko03

Thanks. Will do!

CORRECTION! One woofer is left of center, the other right of center!

I'd love to hear them. But tell me, does it make any difference which speaker is left or right? The mids and tweeters of both are vertical and left of center, the woofers right of center. proko03

And you're so right. The seller mistook the B for an 8, so the serial numbers are 3B74 - 3B75 which puts them around 1963?

Back again, fresh from purchasing the Cornwalls in question. The seller mistook the B for an 8, so the serial numbers are indeed 3B74 - 3B75. They appear to be in fine condition. One side panel has a small dent and one of the screens has a soft and parcial ripple of gray discoloration that hope I can clean up, but otherwise nothing serious. Something else though (until the seller came down in price) almost had me leave them behind. Installed on the back of both speakers is a red button that when pressed deactivates the speaker from the amp entirely. I hope this is an abnormality I can live with. He said it was installed so he could use two different sets of speakers from one amp. Unfortunately the test run he offered didn't give any hint of what these Cornwalls are probably capable of. The seller is in the process of moving, with his Macintosh already deeply packed away, so he hooked up his son's Discman and we listened a bit through his dismal Yamaha int. amp. The price was right though and many thanks to all of you for encouraging me to buy them. Fini's snapshot is an accurate depiction. In fact, I think those are them. But how...? proko03 (In Portland,OR. not Monterey)

Thanks all. I have an appointment to see (hopefully hear) them this afternoon. proko03

I have a chance to buy these over the weekend. proko03

Okay, just heard back from the seller. Serial numbers are: 3874/3875.

Thanks Freezing in Vermont, Capt.Bob andf Ganymd! I'm in Portland, OR. Just moved here into a house (finally) from a Calif. apt. and love it. Was considering NH, VT. for a while, but Portland won me over. Good music scene here too, jazz and classical. Okay, the Corwalls were bought new in 1967 (same owner I guess), dark walnut, and judging from the photo they look pretty good. That's all I know. I'll try to get him on the phone.
