With the eminence they are a no compromise solution. The basic mass is: 2 FaitalPRO HF200 $660 pair 2 Eliptrac 400 horns $550 pair 2 Eliptrac tweeter lenses $75 pair 2 Selenium D220ti Bold on 1" drivers $100 pair 2 Eminence Kappa Pro 15" 4 0hm woofers $220 pair 2 cornscalawall crossovers $320 pair Equals $1920... the FaitalPROs were the only used parts and they were very gently used by me. 2 cabs built, finished and all parts installed and tuned. $1500 seems fair to me. That said... its not a heritage speaker... but sounds great.

If I dont sell, Ill be keeping... I have a few to many :-).

So Ive bought 2 Dayton Audio PS180-8 6-1/2" Point Source Full-Range Neo Drivers. when they come in, Ill be installing. The price is a bit more but drivers are installed. The PS180-8 is an incredible driver... Ive heard these with this cab and was really happy with the sound... better than the Fostex, deeper bass and faster.

Its interesting... If above the tweeter standing it acts/sounds like my 2ways... nice and relaxed. When you sit and the tweeter is in focus... the detail is zoomed and the HF sparkle comes alove. The idea behind the ofset tweeter was to allow narrowing or widening of the sound stage. In a small room the put the tweeter on the inside and youll get nearfield without alot of room interactions. Place the tweeter on the outside and the soundstand is much much wider. The MDF is dead quite... a bit more so than the ply... 1" MDF vs 3/4" ply. I wanted the fronts and backs ply to allow screws to be placed in and out without issues... MDF doesnt like that. So Ive now given the speakers an upgrade. Ive ordered 2 Eminence Kappa 15C 4ohm 15" woofers Ill rasie the price $100 to $1500... the added cost of these woofers are $220 from parts express. The Kappa 15C is most like a K43... In others words... no compromises on parts :-).

Super kind thank you... The wood work is that of my Biz partner... finishing by Castro finishing in huntington park ca. Mad hatter ideas... me!

Wonderful cabs... finished in med. Walnut with Cardis binding posts and silver plated teflon. (Ready for any driver you chose. Ive heard these same cabs with parts express point source and Fostex 6.5 and was dually impressed by both. Not the end all of bass, but the backloaded horn in a corner is super fast and accurate, with mid range to due for. These are just the cabs... Cabs are 3/4" baltic birch, perfectly finished and never put to service. Justin 323-868-9722 $700

Has anyone used Amara symphony? http://www.sonicstudio.com/amarra/amarrasymphony_irc I use amarra hifi currently and really enjoy it. I do most of my listening from CD rips and wonder if worth it… I can evaluate the sonics, but… Has anyone used? Did it leave the music lifeless? What were your impressions? I have 2 room side by side, each with speakers. I wonder if I can have 2 different profiles and optimize both rooms.

I wish that was my choice... Its a small bedroom which may have been used as an office, thus having 2 alcoves that are ~14" deep. I don’t have a ton of space in that room, so I try to make the most of it. The 3 ways defin sounded "better", esp with the new tweeter... Dave poured a ton of sweat into them, but they protruded into the room another 10" making a 10x10 room a hair smaller. The fact that these are true cornwalls means alot to me. I sell/ or help people (myself included) build splits, but I love owning a piece of the Co. history too. The 2 ways have a smoothness I really enjoy... somewhat different sound but still heritage. Maybe a good comparison would be Altec 416s vs Model 18s or JBL L200s vs L300s. I wish that was my choice...

Or 3 way cornscalas which I’m selling locally.

As many here know, Ive owned way more of Dave's speakers than any one person should. He build me what was my reff pair for many years... his Circle track tweeter + Eliptrac+ALK= amazing... a few years after that he had a wild idea to slam a pair of his eliptracs into some con walls. Dave found a pair of original corn walls and got to both restoring and hot-rodding these war horses. When I came to feel my rega 324 was limiting factor, the sale of these bad-asses funded my purchase of a VPI Classic I. Missing my 2ways brought about the design of the split cab conscala cabs, yet I still missed my originals. Recently the person who bought my originals from me, offered to trade my new Black cornscalas for my old pair... I jumped out the chance to have my pair back... After a few hours of listening, he and I came to a trade we both loved... and I gained my 2ways back and he got the reference has had been always chasing. The Veener is not perfect, and so Ryan is going to put some quarter swan sepela on ... Ive seen it on his bass bins and its a head turner... Im just happy to have an old friend home :-).
