  1. Thanks for the information! I was really hoping to find some of the plastic caps to put over the spikes that snap in place, like the ones that came on the speakers. Maybe I'm over looking them there, I'm really not really sure what to call them to look them up. But thanks again for the info runninshine.

  2. Good luck in your search. I recently bought a Scott 299 and had Craig go over it and it sounds amazing with my cornwalls. This was my first step into the world of tubes and to be honest I've never been happier with a audio purchase than I was with this one. Now I'm also on the hunt also for one of the more powerfull versions to have Craig go over it put it into service in the upstairs here at the house. I'm sure you'll be a pretty happy camper when you find one, they really do sound that good.

  3. My Cornwall I's seemed pretty bass shy as well, I used them with a set of KG 5.5's to help with the bass output. I changed out the old crossovers with a set of ALK Cornscalla wall crossovers and now the bass is much improved. I guess the 42 year old crossovers must have been shot because they sound great all by themselves now.

  4. I know it isn't really a Carver but I have a Sunfire 2 channel amp I'd
    like to sell, it's the 300 per channel one. I bought it new and have
    the original receipt for it if you have any interest in it.

  5. For me that's a tough one. I really like the kgs because of the hit you in the chest low end that they have. The Heresy's have a really nice midrange and to me have a little more of that sound like you would hear at a live show. I've found that the kg's sound pretty decent with any equipment that they're hooked up to and I had to do a little searching to find something to really get the sound I was looking for out of the Heresy's. I first ran the Heresy's through a Adcom preamp hooked up to my Sunfire amp and the sound wasn't all that impressive. So I took a Concept 11.0 and used it as a preamp hooked to the Sunfire and they really came alive and had much more bass. Since then I've hooked them up with several vintage receivers and several new receivers and the Heresy's really favor the vintage equipment, but that's just my opinion. I've sure that everyone here will give you different opinions of them, that just my two scent's worth.

    What kind of music do you listen to? For loud rock and roll I'd probably stick with the KG's, with acoustic music I'd pick the Heresy's. I guess that's why I've still got both sets, lol. Cornwalls are the best of both worlds for me.

  6. I think you did really good. I have a pair of them that I bought new in the 90's, I think they were a little over 900 bucks. I think they sound great, lots of bass.
