  1. I'm in the final approach of design of new HT room.

    Looking for feedback on something I've been pondering

    Instead of using my 30's for fronts is it worth using the

    Cornwalls instead and use the 30's for rear and

    The 20's for rear surround. Just trying to save

    Another back injury so thought I'd fire the question

    To the pro's

    Thank you

  2. Splitting up with my ex and not picking up my audio equipment in a timely fashion which oddly enough gave her/it the impression I didn't want it.

    Sansui 8080DB, an Audio Control "Phase Coupled Activator", a Marantz (made in California) pre amp. Fortunately when she/it and her new ride went to pick the stuff up they noticed that the surrounds on my EV Interface C's had turned to dust and left them...

  3. Compared to todays equipment SIZE is with out doubt a huge issue "pardon the pun". My HT currently consumes the entire living room and I have to sneak around my couch. Fortunately I have no females to report to at this time so I can get away with it. Should this not be the case there's no way I;'d get away with it. I've heard many sound systems both 120v and 12v after 20+ years in car audio but I can't speak highly enough of my current set up.

    Upon intial set up, a buddy let me borrow a Bluray Batman movie which I popped into the PS3 after following my vacuum cleaner around the living room. Started watching the movie (first Bluray ever) and when the first round of action/bottom end kicked in I almost got fired off the couch, went to retrieve another beverage from fridge and noticed some white particles on the freshly vacuumed floor. It was the stuco from the ceiling. I cracked the ceiling through the cement/plaster crown moulding and it snaked for another 7'.

    Can't complain about these speaker !

  4. Just back from holiday... Going to pick up F1 2010 this aft that was just released on Sept 24th world wide. It's all HD and even has the new South Korean track....Hard to find up here in TO unless you're using WII platform. Managed to find the last copy in the area for PS3

    The game is getting outstanding reviews !!!!

  5. I'll bring in my memory card and try to post some pics. If it doesn't work them perhaps I could PM someone thats in the know with the jpgs. (its a work computer and a little fussy as to whats permitted...)

    At the end of the day, they blow away my EV Interface C's which I've had for a long time and always enjoyed too.

  6. The serial number info is on a piece of paper stapled towards the top back center of the speaker cabinet. the C11( written in Roman numerals) is hand written as is the BR and the serial numbers stamped on with 2 signatures under that. I was actually surpised to see the fact that the terminal connector plate was a custom Klipsch one with banana plugs and some additional writing and Klipsch info on it. I brought along a scew driver set as my intent was to pull off the back but to my surprise the backs appeared to be nailed on with small finishing nails. The speakers are front or surface mounted the grills are in perfect condition and are not masonite but rather what appears to be black plastic of some type.

    I have pictures at home but not certain how to add them to the post ?

  7. Thanks for the input, went for a drive yesterday and got them. No way are they 76, according to the Heritage Reference data the data is as follows.,,,

    C2 (2 x 1 in Roman numerals) - BR (don't look at all like Raw Birch that I've ever seen to dark) and numbered with a stamp 8709809 and the second is a 10

    Can some else try to verify the s/n as I see it as they are 1989 built in the 9th week and not certain about the rest.....

    Himmed and hawed at 800 acct asking 900 but bent over and took it.

  8. Good Day Ah.....

    Plan to audition a pr of 76 Cornwalls in the near future, anything you guys can recommend I watch out for. Not a fan of paying good money and getting ripped. Also what are they generally selling for in the various parts of continental North America ?

    My intent is to use them to replace my EV Interface C's

  9. I run 2 x KSW15's and I took mine to my tech's to give it the once over. He's thorough and upgrades the parts and resolders everything. The BASH amp "can" be prolamitic but i cannot complain about mine so far... Suggest having the BASH taken to a doctor and verified as they can be finiky.

  10. Finally able to get rid of my TBD re: what I'm using for TV. Picked up the Toshiba Regza 55UX600 on Friday hot off the press. It's a work of art and not even dialed in yet, brings a whole new dimension to the Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense" bluray dvd.

    All thats left now is to dig out and tune up my Thorens TD165 and the Revox B710 MK11...
