Yes. I played the CD on my brother's system (Wilson Maxx II,Ayon,Asthetix) and it sounded fine - with deep deep bass!

Good morning GaryMD, Thank you for your input. My cornwalls sound fine (actually wonderful) with all kind of music even with deep bass (30 to 35 hertz). The problem is ONLY when I play the song "My Name" by Lhasa de Sela (The living road album) then I experienced this tiny little bass (almost no bass sound) for the first couple bass notes other than that things are cool! I am NOT into subwoofers of any kind! I listen mainly to opera/human voice so I don't care about the wall-shaking polluted NOISE coming out of subwoofers!!!! Have a wonderful day, Sir. Q. (If any of you have this My Name song, please play it on the cornwalls and let me know if you have the same experience! Thank you. Q.)

Wonderful responses! I thank you. Let me try a bare run of 14 gauge wires today and report my findings. How do you know if the old screw-on connectors on the cornwalls need replacement? By the way, I have listened to lots of very highend speakers (Wilson Max IIs, Legacy Whispers, Magnepan 20.1s, Magico V5s, etc. - all with fancy associated electronics/upstream equipment) and I still like the rawness/thereness of my cornwalls driven by an old Scott 299C amp. Thanks again. Q.

Thank you for the quick response. Yes, I reattached the wires and the bass improved but still not strong/solid enough. I was listening to My Name (Lahsa...) and Way Down Deep (Jenifer Warnes). I think I need new speaker wires (bare ends?). The connectors on the cornwalls are tiny screws!!!! Any suggestion? Thank you again. Please take care. Q.

Howdy I recently inherited a pair of cornwalls (Y series, 1983). Everything is original and they seem to work fine with all kinds of music. However, when I play passages with deep bass, the cornwalls puts out very small sound like they are choked/stricken! If you have similar experience, please share your remedies. I do very much appreciated your comments here. Thank you. Q.
