I have Cornwall one's and would like to listen to any others, especialy any modifications to compare mine to. thanks robert

Wow, what a reliefe !! I got a pair of 1984 Cornwalls couple weeks ago and have very disappointed with bass response and dynamics. Just put in the new cap set from BEC and found a broken wire from one of the inductors! Bottom line--now they sound GREAT. Only complaint is that about one and a half or two octaves above middle C there are a couple notes that sound strident and not great. Not sure what to do about that. Will have to get my test CD and meter out and find the exact frequency. rh

One thing that seemsproblematic is after you lay out the pattern on one pannel then transfer it to the second panel via drilling holes. This works in theory, but it requires all the pannels too be glued in at 90 degrees. Even a couple degrees off would translate into errors on the top side. With 1/2 ply you really have no margin for error. How did this technique for you? rh

I am in the San Francisco Bay Area and have many specialty lumberyards that stock the high quality stuff. I believe in following the plans exactly. I ordered 2 of the emminence bp 102 that he recomended (for 2 cabinents) I got the 4 ohm by mistake--don't know if I should exchange them for the 8 ohm. Was planning to wire 8 ohms, in parallel for a 4 ohm load, plus 2 for air mass totaling 6 ohm load. Sounded like a safe load for most amps. He says there may an advantage to the 4 ohm -- but I don't see what it is. Seems like it woiuld be easier to burn up the amp with the lower ohm rateing...?? rh

After reading about the tuba 18, 24, and 39 I just ordered plans for the 24. Website says $150 and under 50lbs so that sounds really good. At that price I just can't go too far wrong. thanks everyone for all the recomendations! rh

sounds like what I need, you did a nice job. One other kit I want to consider Danley I think it was. rh

The Danley ??#10 sounds wonderful, but way too big (280 lbs) for carying around. I have Cornwalls and want only a modest amount of MUSICAL low end--not home theatre. I would need detailed plans and parts. Something coming in at 70 lbs or less. I read about lots of experimental ideas, but I need a proven kit. thanks rh

Wow, I have the very same problem. Just got some Cornwalls (I) and am very disapointed with the base response. I was going to use these for some DJ work. Not disco mind you, just rock and pop. I already ordered the rebuild kit, but fear I will have to get a sub as well to keep the dancers happy. rh

I live in the bay area. I am looking for some used cornwalsl. could we talk on the phone so I can get some advice on what to look for? I would be very grateful for any help and advice. robert 510-724-5329 the ones you did look fantastic!!!
