Cornwalls have gone to a good home.. All electronics and the rack are still for sale..

still available

Still available... Lots of interest, but no one has come to take a look yet..

Well I want to be totally clear that the Cornwalls do NOT come with the Nakamichi... That was a poor attempt at humor. $1300 for the Cornwalls only. Of course, if you want multiple pieces, we can work out a deal.

Phone number in the craigslist ad? really? I'm afraid of putting my number on the web.. I figure anyone who is serious about buying something like this would send an e-mail?

Help me sell the Cornwalls and the Nakamichi can be yours.. It truly is a perfect match.

I went through a bunch of amps to find the right pairing.. It was hard to find something that matches well, and wasn't too bright or harsh, but still powerful and clear. When I was young the local dealer sold a lot of really nice tube gear, but he always paired his Klipschorns and Heresys with Threshold electronics.. He always said it was the perfect match. That is where I got the idea, and he was totally right!

Much appreciated.. This forum really helped me assemble this system, so I hope it goes to someone who will give them a good home.

The Music Box certainly did exist.. I used to visit them when i was very young, and a friends older brother used to work there. They always had klipsch on display in thier small show room.. This was where I was first exposed to klipsch when I was maybe 10 years old, and 20 years later, I have never wanted another speaker.. just as a little side note for all you klipsch+tube lovers out there: the owner of the music box used to pair his klipsch with all threshold solid-state gear.. even though he used to sell i believe it was Cary or conrad-johnson tube gear, he said he prefered threshold with klipsch over any tubes.. []

as much as i like onkyo and yamaha, I went with the denon 3808.. you can get them for $1200 and the unit is fantastic.. far exceeding my expectations. denon has been the king of recievers since the 70s... i admit that i have little experience with onkyo, but i find that denons sound quality is a bit above that of yamaha. not to mention that the 3808 is one of the most feature packed recievers on the market today, I stream FLAC files over my home network into it for 2-channel listening, and it sounds fantastic. i have also heard that onkyos firmware upgrades are few and far between, while the denon is completely automated over the net, and they come out with updates almost on a weekly basis.

Mas: niche devices absolutely do affect the market. it is the early adopters that drive the market, and this was certainly the case with blue-ray..

studio support stemmed from the massive market penetration of PS3 period. both blue-ray and hd-dvd copy protections have been cracked at this point, copy protection has absolutely nothing to do with it. Toshiba made and sold HD-DVD players at unbeleiveably low prices, who cares about what other devices are available when you can get a perfectly good unit at significantly lower prices than any competing blue-ray player.. The number, quality, and price of players had zero to do with it, in fact if you take out the ps3, HD-DVD players were outselling blue-ray by a large margin.

Yet there are blue-rays which max out the available space on the disc.. The pixar movie Cars is an incredible sight to behold on blue-ray and part of that reason is because they used every last bit of the space on the blue-ray combined with AVC to create an incredible transfer. While the average user may not care one way or another, some studios and early adopters do. I was not argueing this is why consumers prefer the format.. Take your porsche/corolla analogy and put it into a race setting where only one can win, and i will leave it up to you to figure out what happens..

the reason people havent been buying the HD formats is because most people don't know the difference between SD and HD, and they really dont care. As an A/V technician I get calls from friends on a regular basis on what type of HDTV to buy. I give them the low-down and they usually end up with something very nice. Then, the first time I go over to thier house, they are stretching SD content to fit the HD screen which looks like garbage. Then they hook up a 10 year old DVD player with a composite video connection and watch DVDs that look like garbage. I try to tell them the difference, and they simply dont care. it really boils my blood too. Also, scaning posts on the internet is hardly a way to come up with a conclusion over which format is better. There is simply no difference in the viewed image of either blue-ray or HD-DVD.. We did direct comparissons in our lab here at work with identical 1080p projectors showing blue-ray and hd-dvd of the same title. Early on, when blue-ray was using high-bitrate MPEG2 and HDDVD was using VC-1, there was simply zero noticeable difference between the visible image. The only reason there were a lot of negative blue-ray posts on the internet was due to a whole lot of sony-hating and no other reason. blue-ray won out because of the ps3 market penetration and blue-ray's superior storage size, no other reason. In-fact, the writing was on the wall from the moment ps3 was announced to include blue-ray playback, and anyone who thought otherwise(including these "researchers") havent the slightest idea how the market or technology in general works..

first and foremost exactly what TVs and at what price range are you talking about? a $6000 pioneer elite is a certainly nice tv, but we are talking around $2000 and below. black levels are a bit better on plasmas due to the transmissive nature of LCD, but this difference is rapidly dissapearing. motion artifacts were a problem a year or two ago, but I havent seen a nice current generation LCD that displays any motion artifacts whatsoever. off-axis viewing issues are also rapidly dissapearing and there are many LCD screens that have exceptional off-axis viewing properties equal to that of plasma. as far as burn in is concerned, i have yet to find a plasma set that does NOT exhibit burn-in when displaying static images for any extended period of time. my experience stems from digital multimedia interactive installations I have done in museums across the country. on almost every install i do, the museum almost always requests plasma screens mainly because it is a buzz word, and they usually have little idea what they are talking about. after begging them to avoid plasma and go LCD, we usually relent and purchase plasmas for the interactive displays. our interactives have several screens which are static, and/or have static graphics overlayed video. these displays run 12 hours a day 6 or 7 days a week. invariably, no matter what brand/price plasma we install, we get a phone call within a few weeks to a month to complain about severe burn in on these displays. i purchased my sony sxrd TV because there is no 60" HDTV out there that i can buy for $2000 that has anywhere near the picture quality and features of that unit. sonys decision to cease production of RPTVs has nothing to do with the viability of the technology, only the sales trends. would you refuse to purchase klipschorns because klipsch decided to cease production? i really have a hard time understanding your arguement whatsoever.
