gyrene

Thank you all for the replies. I will report back when I decide what to do. Right now I'm attempting to sell the house and move to the beach so I'm easily distracted but still motivaed.

My Cornwalls are beat up looking but sound just fine. They have the Crites crossover in them but all else is original. Now I can't decide if I should build or hybridize the cornwalls into a set of Cornscala's or look at a set of Altec model 19's. Has anyone heard the Altec 19's? Am I splitting hairs? I don't have deep pockets so I can't buy them all and try them out.But a thousand here and a thousand there and pretty soon you're talking about some real money. What do you guys think? Would be using a Fisher 500 tube receiver and Marantz CD player through a Musical Fidelity DAC to listen to jazz,female vocals and some pop-ish type music.No more rock and roll...well not that much anyway.I'm too drained for excess rock. If not the Fisher tube than a Sansui integrated AUGX 77ii with the same cd player. Moderate volume levels unless the wife goes crazy and cuts loose...as can happen with the correct music.Pray for me. If this is in the wrong slot I apoligize.I don't write much but I read much.Please relocate it if necessary.Thank you.

Enjoyed reading this and the pics were great.Seems like you nailed it.I have a set of Cornwall which are my dedicated biamped speakers.I think they are very good but know they could be awesome with some help. To be honest some of these threads about upgrading the Cornwall to Cornscala loose me with all the alphanumeric code being offered. Would you consider condensing the upgrades you did as a list.Remove original/install upgrade part? While reading its confusing to go between the JBL's and the Cornwall originals and then toss in the upgrade numbers and letters. I'm thinking of going with Bob Crites CT125's and appreciate the work you did to reveal the differences in that and the original. My crossover has been upgraded using the Crites set up.

Man I could really use some help here.I'm looking at these two cd players because they both use the TDA1541 DAC.I can put my hands on either of the PhilMags but the Sony is not to be found.So given that the TDA1541 is what makes the coveted sound what do you guys think? Should I hold out for the Sony or get the PM470,PM471 @ less than $100? This will be fed into either one of my resurrection projects which are either a Kenwood KA-8100 w/60w per ch or a Marantz 1090 w/45 w per ch..Speakers available would be KG4's,Heresy's or KLH 23's( thank you clermontcop).The music is mostly jazz,some blue grass,not too much rock,some smokey vocals like Johnny Hartman et al.Volume does not really go past 9 o'clock for the most part.

Matt if money were no object I could be a "Heretic" (BTW mine are from 1982...not 1978)

Chris, I caught your ping while cruising the forum threads.Man my computer went off the deep end this week.Lost all my emails and much other stuff.Had problems with other forums as well getting on and surfing fleabay and CL.I can't seem to catch you by the pm method here so you could straight email me at tomward1@aol.com. Hey...I appreciate the effort on your part but I'm dogging a Pioneer SX 950 right now and the jing for a cd player got sidetracked when I couldn't pm you. Damn...happens to me all the time.Had a line on a set of Heresy 1's but they were in Florida and I couldn't get there quick enough.

Now thats an opinion I can use right there.

Ladies and Gentlemen...the deal fell through...but not to worry. I have a line on two Pioneer units.One is the SX650 and the other is the SX750. Whats a man to do? All things being equal which should I pick and why?They will drive the KG4's and then the Heresy1's when I get them home. Whatdayathingk?

This TX901 is difficult to find any specs on.Maybe the seller has paper.

Wish me luck everyone.Just got an email with a phone number and instructions to call in the morning about directions. Could be good...Hey,for $20 bucks? C'mon.

Thats a 9090 Pete.

Well I'm running a set of KG4' with a 9090 and I love them.Also have a Sansui 4000 that sounds outstanding with the same KG4's.So I think you got a winner on your hands there. You WILL NOT be able to turn the volume past the nine o'clock position.It will scare the concrete into submission if you do! Did I say how much I love my Sansui 9090-Klipsch KG4's combo?

If I can get a time set with the seller to go pick it up! One of the few times when I scored something as inexpensive as this.Hope I can get it and he does not change his mind. Thanks for the response

getting interested in a new cd player.Thinking about a sony 222es. Question I guess is this or these...how do I determine the quality of the cd's recording? Used to be a code aad I believe but thats done away with nowadays. And how do I determine what cd player to use? The digital analog converter? I'm looking for a used cd player less than $200.
