Looking at the unfinished bottom makes me want to strip them down and re-stain

I've had them about two weeks and realy enjoying them with the Dynaco amp (Over the rogue) Just finished installing a new grill and painted the base. Still havent figured out what to do with the finish. Lots of layers of eurothane. Doesnyt look bad but I dont like it. I will re cap and re-wire within a week The picture makes the grill look transparrent its not Thanks for all the support and comments

Thanks, whats the thoughts on veneer over the the exsisting finish?

I picked up a pr from a ebay win and finally got to spend a few hours with them. (I have had Lascalla's). First off they are very source dependant. Even to level of a albulm (i'm 99% vinyl) I had them hooked up to a Rogue Tempest II 90 watt tube amp (Kt88's) and they sound good. Then hooked up my modded ST70 and you would have needed a shover to pick up my jaw. I'm much more impressed with these than the Lascallas in my room with my equipment. Bass was lower and the volcals weer a lot smoother. I have read lots of posts from people likeing the cornwalls better. Now i'm one of the converts. I'm gonna look for a 300b amp next. The guy i bought them from was the original owner from 1983. and over the years put layers of poly urathane on them. I wanted to sand them and add some fresh stain. seems like that might not be to practical. Any thoughts how hard its to sand down the urothane These are in good shape but I much rather have a different (fresh stain). I'll be ording new grill cloth, binding posts and caps this week. figure I'll also rewire the connections too

I wanted to find out if I can put a 2.2MH in place of the 2.4Mh on the B crossover for a cornwall? I just picked up some old cornwals with the original parts and have some 14 guage foil coils around Thanks Bob

you said you hooked up the preamp, start out with the amp gain all the way down, then turn the preamp volume all the way up SLOWLY turn the gain up on the amp untill its verry loud. then use the the preamp volume to what ever volume you like

verry good idea, does the bag fill around the horn over the top

turn the amp gain pots down untill you get full cotrol with the preamp volume control, then you get the most out of both units

If your contemplating a purchase, I have to let you know of the reputation of the company. From everyone involved they all say they are great amps. Now here comes the rest. Their are constant problems getting orders filled, shipped with correct parts and poor to no customer service once you gave your credit card. Do a search on the SET forum in Audio Asylum. This way you know what your getting into.... My personal experience was an incomplete parts order on a project I was working on, No response to my email and the back ordered 4 coupling capacitor showed up a month later. Needless to say that held up my project and I purchased them elseware (cheap lessson)

I couldnt campare it to anything, I bought a 20oz can and sprayed it down enough for two speakers with some left over for a second coating of the horns only (Toninght I will add the second coat). It left a thin skin over the horn and inside cabinet. It did have a paint odor for about an hour then went away. Agion I cant copare but I can say it works and I'm happy. $15, I covered my crossover and sprayed away 10 min. Cant beat that.

I just picked up and used some stuff called QUIET KOTE - VB1S PRO. From parts express. Its a spray on dampner made for spraying down car wheel wells and firewalls. Well I sprayed down the k55 horn and inside of the cabinet and this stuff works. DEAD, it imeadiatly knocked down the shout and extended ringing... These speakers keep getting better, who says they cant image. i get center sound almost as good as my magenpans with real uncollered bass to boot

To add fuel to the fire, after being a CD guy for the last 10 to 15 years I started playing around with Vinyl again and have to agree that almost 100% of the same music (I have) on records sounds better than CD's. Just this weekend after listening to 1812 overture on digital, I was discusted and had to turn it off, I then fired up my old Empire rig and Kaboom. No comparison the cannons, bells and the rest of the music came alive. The CD is realy sounded compressed. From my understanding CD's are not complete they only store the 100% of the analog source on about 60% of their storage so therefore miss some harmonics found on the record (at least that was the way it was explained to me) This was the first time I herd that record on my Lascalla's I was blown away. No other speaker took that cannon the way the LS took it. I didnt even have to turn the volume down.

These guys are so smart that if you respond or aska question they get you login id or other information without you knowing. I used to mess with these guy's by asking them a question then when they respond I tell them I have their IP adddress, service provider and now home account info that i'm turning over to the FBI, Also that me an my biker friends are coming over to thank him persnaly for trying to steel, so keep looking over your shoulder. But then I stopped becuse I learned that as soon as you resond or email they get your Info. I work in IT for a very large company and have been involved in internet fraud. so I speak from experience

Yes, It means that when you draw 15 amps the circut breaker or fuse will blow. Now lets say you havea amp that puts out 50amps at 100 watts. Doesnt mean your fuse will blow, because their is transformer and capacitors that make the current after the draw from your circut. Meaning the amp might only draw 5 amps but put out 50. Basically look at the main fuses in all your equipment, You might have 3 for the cd, 2.5 for a tuner, 5 for a amp.so all operating at max still wont blow the circut. Hope that help Bob

Got them from a Ebay guy in Peru....I was worried but no problems took about 5 days to get to me. $62..They poped the oter limits of the meter when I tested them before install What a deal
