  1. Ok, I just bought a pair of Heresys off ebay for a decent price $355, so I'm going to try these out.

    I'm also working on finding a pair of Cornwall speakers. If I do find a pair, would the Heresy be good for surrouns? If not, I'll offer them up here for what I paid for them...

  2. Yeah, I plan to start with my HK receiver and I'm sure I'll start exploring tubes at some point.

    I guess I should have jumped all over a pair I saw in Philly in much better shape for $600. Oh well, I'll keep checking here and craigslist and other places daily.

  3. That's a real good price, but shipping them, I wouldn't............wait, get something local.......I like Heresy's but, they are different than Cornwalls...


    Is there much risk to getting damages? The seller says he uses Forward Airline and has never had a problem shipping speakers/motorcycles, etc.
  4. streyle,

    i think i just responded to your craigslist ad (ignore that e-mail - did not know you are a member here). anyways, I will glady have you and LarryC over in the very near future - I just that i've been traveling much for work and I also have family in town - if you  can wait a week or two - i will definitely have you guys over.


    That would be greatly appreciated!


  5. The offer is for $675 including shipping. I'll see what I can negotiate or I'll just wait.....


    I can't listen to them since they'll be shipped across the country. I've also never listened to the Cornwalls at all, which makes me think a bit harder. I currently have a RF-35 system, but from what I've read, these should be better.







  6. I've just started looking at buying Cornwalls (still kind of debating between them and Heresy).


    Anyway, I've been offered a pair from 1974 with updated crossovers from the factory (updated a year ago). Cosmetically, there's a chip in the top corner of the cabinet, and a tear in the grill, but other than that everything looks good.

    What's a fair price? How much does the new crossover add? How much does the damaged cabinet decrease?

    Also, I've seen a lot of people selling these saying they're too big for a townhouse. Will they be too powerful and should I just go with the Heresy? I guess I need to go find a place to listen, but I thought I'd get some advice from here.

    I currently have a 7 speaker Reference series system and I'm looking at doing a heritage system for both home theater and stereo.

    Good note Picky, I particularly looked for that feature when checking out the Coasters I bought.

    Your La-Z-Boy's are superbly comfortable, only problem is that spring-loaded-beer-eject mechanism (forewarned is forearmed) LOL!

    i think that this is the design for most HT loungers....I know that Berkline follows this. Also, pricing for mine ( a leather match, manual recline) was about $550/chair including shipping (no tax). The power recline and built in subs are other options to add on.

    Again, anyone looking would do well to talk with Roman at rtheaters.com

  8. I'd recommend going over to avsforum.com....there are a lot of discussions over there about which are best.....

    I went with the Berkline 90 models in a leatcher match. They are incredible. To me they were more comfortable than the other brands I tried, including Pallisades, Coaster and John Elway collection (those were too darn expensive).

    I'd start with the Berklines, but don't be scared off by the retail prices. Anyone wanting berklines should go to rtheaters.com and speak with Roman. He will guide you through everything and give a great price.
