I don't know what was done with the networks. I inquired about them because I was wondering if they need to be replaced & he said he had already had them done..whatever that means. I took a bunch of pics last night but my wife went out of town today with the camera for a week. The only pic I have is the one below but it's not very good. I'll post more pics when she gets back. Take it for want it's worth but I was told one of his friends was amazed at how good these sounded compared to his khorns. I'm no audiophile and I don't have Cornwalls to compare these to but they sound way better than my RF3's. Duh!!! lol I know that's not exactly an amazing feat but it is the only comparison I can make.

From what I've been told the crossovers have been done so they don't need to be replaced. If you look at the other components I don't think they are stock for a pr of 84 Cornwalls. The K-57-K mids were stock on Cornwall II's. Were the square magnets on the tweeters and woofers stock on 84's? The previous owner said he spent a lot of time trying different components to get the sound he wanted so I'm more curious about what he has done rather than upgrading them. He got rid of these to make room for his khorns which I know he also tinkered with and used the same K-33-P square magnet woofers. I picked these up for $597 and I love the sound but I am not opposed to trying things to make them better. I'd like to know if any of these compomnents are consider inferior so down the road I can replace them.

Just got a pair of Cornwalls and would like to know what could/should be upgraded.Thanks. Crossovers - B3 Tweeters - K77M square magnet Mids - K57K Woofer - K33P square magnet

I'm keeping the Outlaw RR2150. My CD player hasn't arrived yet so I was using my ipod and liked the sound very much until I hooked up a cheap DVD player to play CD's...HOLY SH!T!!! Can someone tell me more about the components in these speakers and if anything needs to be upgraded. I don't plan to upgrade anytime soon because I'm very happy with the sound right now but I'm still curious. Thanks. Crossovers - B3 Tweeters - K77M square magnet Mids - K57K Woofer - K33P square magnet

Speakers arrived...minor cab damage but nothing major. I'm going to hit the weights and see how they sound!!!

I don't have my Cornwalls yet...should be here this week. I do have the Outlaw RR2150 and so far I'm impressed. I have it hooked up to some old crappy Panasonic speakers that were lying around and they actually sound pretty good with this amp. I don't have my CD player yet either so I'm using my ipod's headphone out, forgot my line out dock, to the aux input jack and I am suprised that it sounds as good as it does. The Cornwalls will be the real test for the ipod and I doubt I will be as impressed. My other Klipsch speakers are real picky about the quality of my mp3's so I assume the same will be true of the Cornwalls.

Yes!!! I have a AuzenTech X-Meridian sound card that has 2 optical connections that I output to my amp to do exactly what you described. For analoge you can also upgrade the card with better op amps until you find the ones that sound best to you. This is what I did for the analog out to my Rockhopper Audio M³ headphone amp and now the combo has a more detailed warm sound. As computer tech goes I'm out dated now but I have no desire to change because I am extremely happy with the sound that I have. I know AuzenTech has newer offerings and I'm sure there are others as well. You migh try asking some questions in the computer speaker section of this forum...there should be some updated geeks there to point you in the right dirrection unless you just want digital out to an amp with is easy peasy.

I don't know what you are talking about. That is a pic of me and my little friend Cuddles. [*-)]

BTW anyone who is interested there is a Nakamichi PA-7 and a Nakamichi PA-5A II on ebay rigtht now.

Order placed for the RR2150. Getting on a plane Thursday but I won't get there until Monday. Hopefully the amp and speakers will get there shortly after. Now it's just a waiting game.

Thanks guys I appreciate all of your advide and I think I will be going with the Outlaw RR2150.

Yeah I think I will be seting some new personal records with these! lol

What do you guys think of the Rotel RB-1080 amp & RC-1070 pre-amp?

I called Emotiva and their pre- anp won't be out until 1st quarter so that's too late for me. The Cornwalls are shipping to my other residence and there's no equipmet there so I need gear now...can't have new speakers and no amp!

Sounds like I need at least 150wps then. lol Yeah I love MCAA it makes a huge difference. Which brings me back to my first post...why shouldn't I get a HT receiver with MCAA or YPAO? I can get 7x130wpc and a million connections that I don't need so there has to be something in the 150-200wpc range for 2 channel in my budget. I don't want to make the mistake of not having enough power so if intergrated can't cut it what seperates should I look at?

I've been looking at the Outlaw RR2150 but I thik I will need more power than 100wpc. My RF-3's have approx the same sensitivity rating as cornwalls and 100wpc into an RF-3 is not enough for what I want. Any intergrated units with more power than the RR2150 for under $1000? I was looking at the Emotiva gear and the XPA-2 looks nice but their pre amps are out of stock. Anyway still haven't made up my mind but bye da jesus something is going in the mail this week.

Is 100 wpc enough? My room is 15x26 and I what it to be very loud. I realize everyone has a different opinion of what they consider loud. I'm sure most people have experienced what it is like in a club when the music is so loud you have to yell to have a conversation and even then you don't understand half the time what is being said...will 100 wpc on cornwalls give me that in a room my size?

Thanks guys keep them comming! I'm buying something this week so help me out. Thanks!

Nice to know. What are the common 2ch setups people are running with cornwalls for under $800? Would the RR2150 be a good match...what others should I be looking at? I'm in a rush so I'd appreciate some help. I can't audition any gear and I have less than 3 months with the cornwalls. I'm hoping to research my options and make an informed guess so I can enjoy the little I time I have. Thanks.

That is one wicked sweet finish! Nice job bro. I've done a few PC cases by hand and it's a lot of work to get a nice finish let alone something like that. I wish you live close by. lol

Thanks I was reading about the older crossover caps other day. I'll replace the crossovers if necessary thanks. Come on guys give me some other options to power these things. There must be a better way in my price range than buying a 7.1 receiver for a 2 channel setup. I attached a pic to see what you guys can tell me about these speakers. Thanks!

I need some help with powering these speakers. Luckily I don't have an audiophile ear so I plan to do this on the cheap < $400. I'm not really a tube guy but I've never heard a good tube setup before but like I said I want to do this on the cheap so that route is out of the equation. I need inputs for a cd player, dvd player, ipod and a PC so I'd like a couple of coax or optical inputs. I'm thinking the easiest/cheapest thing to do is to get a Pioneer or Yamaha receiver with MCAA or YPAO but I'm wonder if there are other options in my price range. What would be the min/max solid state power that should be pumped through these speakers? I know all you serious 2 channel guys will laugh at my proposed setup but when your finished please give me some suggestions on my setup. [] Any kind of first time heritage guy advice also appreciated. Thanks!

Here's a question...I plan to have these speakers shipped face down on a pallet, is there anything else that should be done to ensure safe delivery? Thanks.

lol...I was referring to the fortress of solitude part but my nephews and nieces think I'm a super hero. [:$] 20+ years of pumping iron and in your spare time overhead pressing inmates will make you look like a superhero. [H] I'll take some pics when it's all done but it's going to take some time. I won't get there until the end of the month, and then I need to do the framing, electrical, sheet rock and flooring. Once that is done the fun begins because I will have to disassemble approx 20K worth of Hammer Strength equipment and bring it downstairs and reassemble it in the gym, followed by several other pieces, power rack etc and of course a bunch of olympic plates and dumbbells. This would proably only take fini 30-40 min but it will take me much longer than that. [] At this point I can setup the cornwalls and I'll bet I will be grinning from ear to ear because this is really 2 dreams rolled into 1 for me so I am very excited. Thanks again guys!

The only thing that wasn't mentioned is that an optical cable is a lot easier to damage than a coax cable.
