Two weeks ago, I purchased a pair of Cornwalls (1981) from John who offered them for sale on this board.
The superlatives that owners of Cornwalls use to describe the speakers are all deserved. These speakers reproduce all of the detail of the music and uncrowd the individual instruments and voices. Music that did not get good recording and mastering attention is still good through these speakers(I listen to many field recordings), but better mastered recordings(hdcd and sacd) simply sound wonderful.
I felt that I neeeded to make this post, not for owners of these speakers because they already know these speakers, but for those who are lurking and wondering if thse old speakers are worth a listen. If you have the room for them, Cornwalls are a great bargain.
