Oh, wise guy eh? (spoken in Moe Howards voice) - well here's the update, I switched speaker leads at amp and still had left speaker staticky. So opened 'em up and switched crossovers, and guess what. Same problem. No change - so I put my ear to the speaker itself and found the tweeter (K 77M) really bad in a hissy static way. I couldn't swear to it but I thought the mid (K 52H) wasn't up to snuff either so I'll probably change them both. Any ideas where I should get them? ........Thanks!

I'll work on this tomorrow, will let you know what happens.

Hi, I own a pair of Cornscala's that I bought around 2 years ago that I've been loving ever since. The past few days I've noticed that the left speaker, especially on soft piano parts I hear a muddiness, (this is hard to explain) softness, not staticky, (is that even a word?) a kind of mushiness whereas the right side speaker is super clear and sharp. My Scott amp has a switch that reverses the speakers from left to right and back and it makes no difference, so I know it's not the amp. I even took the cd (it's "Kevin Cole plays Gershwin" a really nice recording) and played it on my home theater set-up and the recording's fine so it's definitely the speaker. Does anyone have any experience with something like this - I know I didn't blow the speaker since I never turn it up to ear bleeding levels so I'm thinking maybe a capacitor in the crossover gave up the ghost. I must stress again that I only hear this on soft quiet parts of the recording, not when a full orchestra is playing at it's peak. A big thank you to anyone that can help me with this problem.[]

Very nice and great price!

Maybe using a lower power tube amp for the Khorns will let them shine better. Also you really have to test them in the same room to accurately compare. Just my $0.02 worth.

Very nice, indeed!

More information than I wanted to know!

Here we go...........................

That's what I thought!

That is definitely a good buy!

Even as a kid, I knew Godzilla was a man in a rubber suit (thanks to Famous Monsters magazine) but the original 1933 "King Kong" - even though he was an 11 inch articulated doll blew me away when I thought of all the work done to bring him to life. Anyone hazard a guess why his fur kept moving so much during the movie - hint: it couldn't be helped!

You should get a 1914 Stutz Bearcat - no need for those pesky turn signals!

Open the door, and let him innnnn.

Does it feature noise cancelling to deadden sounds from noisey theater goers?..................... Boy I would pay extra for that!!!

Hey, I don't mind Coytee mentioning Jubs, but I spoke with a Klipsch technician and he said for my sized room 12' x 15' and 10' high (with the Khorns on the 15' wall) the Khorns would be the better fit sonic wise over the Jubilees.

I guess we'll never know.....................................................................

Nice! What kind of amp you runnin' with those beauties?

I'm sure they will look great!!

Hey thaddeussmith, once you finish 'em and start listening to your Cornscalas (or whatever you finally call them) - I need to see you change your avatar from a frowny to a big smiley - trust me, it will come naturally!..............................................From a current Cornscala owner.

Any Sylvania 7591 tubes?

Nice shot of your amp, but isn't it missing an output xformer?

So, any pic's of your set up?

How 'bout some pictures.......?

Yea, you might as well get the Teac, they are well made and have a cool factor too!

Thank you for your input, Daddy Dee, I'll go with the new Khorns. Truth be told I've never listened to a pair of Khorns but I do have the Cornscalas and am blown away by their openness and clarity so, along with my HH Scott amp and Empire turntable connected to the new Khorns..........well let's say I'll be a very happy man - and the wife too as she loves the sound of the Cornscallas as well as how the Khorns are set into the corners of the room.
