Hi,
Yes their is the brown celluluose wadding but I'm thinking maybe trying dynamat?
I am using Herbies Audio Lab Big Black dots and they really work well,but I need to remove those silver domes of silence so that I can place the dots on the cornes for better contact.

Hi,
I'm looking to dampen the inside ofmy 83 Cornwalls any suggestions?
Thanks

Mark's been great about responding to my questions.
I had about 1 inch headroom above the BB ,my VRD is below on the bottom rack.
Anyway I could,as Mark suggested, send it back but I really don't want to part with it for 2-3 weeks.
So ,I was just curious if anyone had this issue.
Thx

First off,let me say that the BBXT is probably the best pre I've owned and paired with my newly acquired NOS VRD amp sounds terrific.
One thing I wanted to know from fellow BB owners who use the wood cover is if anyone notices overheating
on the BB?
I had to stop using the case because it got so hot...I also noticed that it sounded better without the case as well.
Anyone have a similiar exprience?
-
Another amp Mark suggested was the Pass Aleph 30 ..anyone using it?
-
I spoke to Mark yesterday,he was very helpful in suggesting amps.
I'll call Craig at NOS and ask about the st-45 ,I don't see it on his site.
Basically I'm lookin for that dynamic,punchy drive that ss can deliver,lean and mean for the low end.My concern with another tube amp is the bass,It was really a revelation to me ,after 15 yrs. of tube amps what SS,in this case a MC122,can do when matched with my Corns.
My thought is that the BB would warm it up just a tad...the Klipsch,to my ears,have this "real concert" sound that I love,especially on "live" recordings. Van Morrison's new LP has one side that is from one of his live concerts and it really sparkles. I just saw him in NYC a few months ago...best sound I ever heard at a concert. It was a 5 or 7 thousand seat church,the sound was slightly warm,smooth yet powerful and dynamic.

I 'd love to get the VRD's but possibly $ and space are issues,unless I do some creative math and rearanging of gear.
I know, Mark sells that Modded Crown amp...anyone try that?
BTW, thanks to all who are advising me on this.

I have a Mac mc122 ss amp that I'll use but what do you think about the Mac 275 as a match w/Corns?
-
I'm looking to get a new pre w/phono to go with my MC122 ss ampand Cornwalls.Any suggestions ?
-
I just installed a BC 125 and noticed I didn't have any padding on the back of one of my speakers...anyone know where I can purchase?
Thanks
-
Thanks oldbuster.
-
I'm confident the vta is set up properly.
As a side note, I swapped out my tweeters for the Bob Crites version and the combo does sound better:smoother highs,slightly more detail and depth...still need to try it with my vinyl.
-
Currently using Mac C15 & MA122 combo.
The phono is thin sounding.
-
I've read many posts and I also have a friend with one and he raves about it.
On the AK McIntosh forum ,it get's consistently good reviews.
Also it's so much less $ than a Mac.
-
Thanks Guys,
I'm thinking of trying a Juicy Blueberry pre...any thoughts?
-
I thought I'd post my new system.
Modified Corns(ALK Crossover)w/McIntosch C15/MC122
Modified Red Wine Audio Olive music server,MAC cables,and Nottingham Interspace Jr.w/ Grado Sonata.
-
I'm currently using a Trends...pretty darn good...but since this is my first Klipsch,I wanted to try McIntosch seperates ...c15/mc122...should arrive in a few days
-
I'm currently looking to get a new amp.
My 10 watt set isn't doing for me,suggestions appreciated.

Hi,
I have the risers that I'm not using. I might sell them ,since I've had excellent results with Herbies Big Black Dots instead of the risers or spikes. It's really a big tweek in a small package and cheap too.
I'll e-mail you if I decide to sell.
-
Hi,
I'll be posting some pics soon,but right now I could use some suggestions on what to use as a riser.
I do have the stock riser.but the speakers aren't pre-drilled,so I very reluctant to do that myself.
I was thinking of using Blu-tack on the risers with Herbies Audio Lab big black dots underneath.
Or getting some Timbernation platforms w/spikes ...any suggestions?
p.s. I still haven't figured out how to do any of this with such a heavy speaker.
-
Hi Guys,
Scored some Modified Cornwalls today. I'll be setting them up this weekend...sounded great at the sellers house.
I'll keep ya posted.
-
You guys are great...thanks for the feedback.
-
Hi,
I wanted some feedback on the 79' model of the Cornwall1.Specifically if all is in good working order,is it the general opinion from the forum members that it really needs an upgrade to sound it's best or does the stock version do the job?

Thanks to everyone responding.

George Wright Sr. has passed away, and it appears his wife
and son are closing the company. The following was posted on
wright-sound.com:
Dear Wright Sound Customers and Friends,
It
is with great sadness that we report that George Wright went home to be
with the Lord on August 21, 2009. He is celebrating with those who have
gone on before him and we will see him again one day.
George's
passing means the end of Wright Sound company. He was the brillance
behind the equipment. Without him, there is no company. Those of you
who knew George know that he had a passion for tube equipment and he
truly was gifted in electronics. He will be sorely missed for his humor
and his incredible knowledge about all things tube related.
To all
of our customers over the years, George would like to say thanks. It
was a heck of a ride and he enjoyed sharing his passion for music with
you.
Take care, live life to the fullest, and be blessed.
Brenda Wright
George Wright (son)
This
is a big loss to the tube-using audio public, especially to SET where
most of George's products were focused. He will be missed.
