Greetings, about 9 months ago, at the recommendation of board members here, I started bidding for Cornwalls on Ebay. Just about any decent looking pair within driving distance got my low ball bid. And what do you know - I finally won! I pick up the CBRs tomorrow. The serial numbers are 30W067 & 30W068. Can anyone tell me the vintage for my new babies? I searched the archives to no avail. Thanks, TommyK The Cornwalls will go head to head against my Hartley Holton As (full range v front loaded horn) in a sound-off over the next month to see who gets pole position in the family / listening salon. I will drive them with EL 34 PP amp by Signature Technologies with the matching Proteus Preamp. I will also be swapping in Bottlehead Parabee 300B sets with Foreplay Pre - though I am worried about gain with the added efficiency of the Cornwalls. If anyone is in Northern New Jersey and wants to come by for listen - give me a holler.

Greetings, I have been lurking for few months and have decided to make the plunge and will be bidding on ebay for Cornwalls or LaScalas. But I wanted to see if there were any sellers on the forum in the New York region before offering my $ to the ebay gods. I am willing to pay the going rate for good condition CW, LS or Belles. Peace TommyK Butler NJ running Bottlehead Parabees (300bs) and Foreplay, ack! dac into Hartley Holton As, but looking forward to my return to Klipsch.

Greetings, I have a pair of Heresy IIs in storage. I Loved the sound when I had them set up w/ my Paramour 2A3s. There was nothing finer for female vocals. But for one reason or another they got put away. It is time to reclaim that Magic I remember. But here is the rub, and where I could use some advice. I have a good line on a pair of Heresys. What are the sonic differences b/w the two? But I also have some dough burning a hole in my pocket - and my eyes have always been attracted to LaScalas. SO -- do I stick with my IIs, try the original Heresys, or start looking at shippers and buy some LaScalas. I have no corners free so K-Horns are out. Prodigious bass is not a necessity. I have a 25 x 15 living room with lots of nodes. I listen mostly to guitar rock, city folk, grateful dead, live jam bands, female acoustic vocals, some jazz. I also use an El34 PP amp quite a bit (Nobis Proteus & Cantabile) Currently I have a pair of Hartley Holtons set up. Thanks for any and all advice. Peace, TommyK, Butler NJ
