    Your local lumber yard could cut the panels for you, easy box to build. Call Bob and he can fix you up with the rest.

    Why not build one or talk to Bob Crites about the parts to build one.  Or look online for the parts as they come up all the time it seems like.  Cabinets are about as simple as they get being a big rectangle box.

     

    I may just do this.  Looking to use it as a center speaker, so I may start looking for plans that allow it to be turned on its side.

    Looking to purchase a single Cornwall to use as a center speaker. I'm in the Greenville, SC area, but would definitely be willing to drive a few hours to pick up. I'm about 2 hours to Charlotte and Atlanta and roughly 3 hours to Charleston and Knoxville. 

     

    Black would be preferred, but not a deal breaker. 

     

    Thanks.

    "New" Receiver for my Heresy II's

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted

    I've been using a wonderful Pioneer SX-770 for the past five years with my Heresy II's.  While I love this combination, I have been curious about all the praise older Harman Kardon receivers get around here.  So, I picked up an HK 730 locally and have been enjoying some of my favorite tunes.  This unit packs some serious power!  

     

    The treble seems a little stronger on the HK than the Pioneer, but that could just be in my head.  I'm planning to set both units up and comparing them next weekend when I have a little more time.  

     

    Overall, I'm very pleased with the unit and how clean the music sounds coming from my Heresy's.

    Hello Community,

     

    My name is Steve Jain, it was my crazy idea to build THE FIFTEENS.  I am crazy about the golden era of audio (which in my mind is up to the 1950-1960's).  I like mechanical things, old things, and in general have a vintage mind.  

     

    It's my chubby bald self in the videos...

     

    So what we wanted to do with THE FIFTEENS was create a romantically nostalgic speaker that took a lot of the good things from the golden era and marry them with what we believe todays consumer wants.  As a huge vinyl van, I wanted to ensure that we enhanced the experience when using these with vinyl, so we added Moving Magnet AND Moving Coil phono preamp built-in (we may be the first to ever do this).  Typically when you start your vinyl journey you start with a MM phono cartridge, and as you start to get more and more into vinyl you may want a MC cartridge and that necessitates a "step up transformer"...we wanted to take that mystery out of the equation.

     

    We are getting some requests for a Passive version, but at this moment we are not looking at a passive version.  If you want passive, look to our outstanding current and new Heritage Collection of speakers.  

     

    I am crazy excited about the response to some of my crazy ideas for the new products (Heritage Wireless, Powergate Max, The Fifteens, The Sixes and the new Headphones), I have an amazing team and you can rest assured we will keep pushing the envelope on whats possible from a material composition standpoint.  We are focused on celebrating our history and blending the 70 year legacy with todays streaming and digital world.  More crazy ideas coming...I promise!

     

     

    In your opinion, which current speaker do THE FIFTEENS sound the most similar to?  I think they are an absolute knockout!  I'm looking forward to hearing them at some point.

    I scanned through all the pages and am not seeing a price for The Fifteens.  Now, I have been known to overlook information occasionally, so if I missed it, I apologize.  

     

    Anyone know the price on The Fifteens?

     

    Thanks!

    I absolutely love all of the new products being shown.  I think it's easy for companies to upgrade what they already have, but to actually pay attention to what their loyal fans/customers are dreaming to see is very impressive.  I think showcasing these products and how they are displayed, adds a feeling of poshness to the brand.  The wood veneer adds so much instead of a solid color.  

     

    I think The Fifteens may be the ones that I am most interested in from CES this year.  I am a little surprised they are active speakers since so many people spend lots of time and money on an amplifier that is perfect for the speaker they are driving.  

     

    Also, will there be another run of the walnut Pro-Ject Turntable?  I thought that maybe with all of the Heritage line releases and new products that could easily fall into the Heritage look that the turntable may be brought back.
