This is very helpful info.

I will. Thank you very much for all of your advice. It is much appreciated.

I will not be playing vinyl. Only CD's. Should that influence my decision one way or another as far as buying a Scott 299?
-
Can anyone please tell me the year of these Cornwalls please? Serial numbers 8415331 and 8415332? I have heard that the Cornwall is a much better speaker than the Cornwall II. Is this true and how so?
-
Will I need a preamp as well?

What can I expect to pay for an HH Scott 229? is the 229B any different animal? Also, will I need a preamp to use a CD player? I know, I know, I am a real greenhorn when it comes to high end audio.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll look into it.

Pardon my ignorance, but what are HH Scotts and Eicos?

Yes, I have noticed that the McIntosh MC-30 and MC-50 seem to be very popular tube amps in this Two Channel Forum.
I remember loving the Cornwall when I first heard it in 1978 while in the US Air Force stationed overseas. My roomate had a pair driven by a Sansui 9090DB receiver. I couldn't believe what I heard. My ears were stunned to say the least.

Yes, I just bought them from my neighbor. They are Heresy Birch Raw. I am also buying a pair of 77 Cornwall's from his brother in HBR.
I currently have a Carver TFM 35x amp and a Carver C-5 preamp. But, I am seriously considering buying an Adcom 5500 or 5800 amp and Adcom GTP 450 preamp to drive the Klipsch Cornwalls.
That is unless someone can sway me to buy something else in the same price range.
Thanks again for you help!

Thanks a bunch for the information. I take it that these are the last year for the Heresy before they went to the Heresy II and MDF?
-
Anyone have any experience with using an Adcom 5500 or 5800 amp and Adcom GTP 450 preamp with Cornwall or Heresy loudspeakers? Any advice or help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Can anyone tell me how to tell the year of my Heresy Speakers? The Serial numbers are 8422376 and 8422379.
And does the fact that the serial numbers are out of sequence affect their value?

OK, so you feel the Adcom amps good then? What preamp would you suggest I go with to compliment an Adcom 5500 or 5800 driving Cornwall and Heresy's?
FYI..I am also planning to buy a HH Scott 299 amp. That way I ge to use both SS and Tube amps.
Your opinions are well respected.
