Interesting..........Thanks!

I've listened to both, and sonically, to me, the mono's have it. Btw Rick, do you know who is the person in your icon? Looks very familar to me. Steve

Hi , I have an H.H. Scott 299C amp and was planning to get a pair of Corwalls for it. Due to my finding info on all speakers, I came across a speaker kit known as Cornscalas which are a cross between Cornwalls and LaScalas. Are these Cornscalas measureably better than Cornwalls and LaScalas and I assume my amp should be able to handle them? Thanks! Steve

Update info - Carver is now coming out with a line of tube amps that will supposedly knock your socks off !!!

A Wave radio...........no, I got a Boombox! Actually, as my story goes - I was in the Air Force in the early 70's and was stationed in Biloxi, Mississippi. I was walking by a music shop and heard the most beautiful classical music. I trotted in and found out I was listening to a pair of Cornwalls they were selling. That's what sold me on them ever since and figured I'd buy a pair when I had the means to build a room for 2 channel music. The room will be about 11'x 15' x 9' high with the Cornwalls being against the 11' wall in the corners and sitting 12 to 14 feet away. I can't really go bigger as costs run $175 a square foot, but my question was would La Scala's work in that size room also or should I stick to the Cornwalls?

Hi everyone, I'm designing a home for my family which will be built in about 6 to 8 months. I've got my dedicated listening room also known as the "Musical Man Cave" with the dimensions of 11 feet by 15 feet with a 9 foot high ceiling. I'll have a newly redone H.H.Scott 299C amp with my Thorens turntable (from the mid-eighties) and a nice CD player. I originally pictured having Cornwalls against the 11 foot wall. But after reading many posts here, I'm wondering if I should look into La Scala's instead. My question is would they work better in that size room than Cornwalls, or should I stick with the Cornwalls?? What difference could I expect between them? Thank you! Steve

Thank you jdm56 and LarryC. I will be building an 11' x 15' by 9' high room. Thanks again! Steve

Those are truly beautiful. Actually more like works of art !!! Steve

Now.................................Those are COOL !!!!!

Well Guys, you did it !!!!!!! After reading your remarks about the best size room for 2 channel listening and showing my wife what your suggestions were, we are now bugeting for a more correct sized room. So instead of 12 x 12 feet, we are going with 11 x 15 foot which sounds better. My question now is what would be the magic height to optimize the sound coming out of the Cornwalls? 8 foot, 9 foot or 10 foot ceilings? Thank you! Steve P.S. Just wondered how would a pair of La Scala's stack up against the Cornwalls in that room using an H H Scott 299C amp? I see they are a bit narrower than Cornwalls but deeper depth (For lower Bass??)

Just beautiful ! Good luck with them.

I don't have a link, sorry, but Mancini's "Lujon" would probably win. Steve

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone here can help me. I'm building a house and want a dedicated room for 2 channel music. A musical man cave, if you will. I already figured out that for my surrond sound in the living room I'm going with the RF-7 II system just because of what I've read through this and other forums. Now, for a little backround....... while stationed in Biloxi, Miss in the Air Force in the mid 1970's I came across a store that was playing a pair of Cornwalls in their soundroom. Needless to say I was blown away by the clarity and richness........ well you know what I mean. Anyway ever since then I wanted a pair for listening to music. The past 6 months or so I've been trying to find a store that demos Cornwalls so my wife can hear. Being silly, she sorta objects to the size of them but I told her that if she listens to them the size will not matter. I plan on using an H.H. Scott 299C redone by Craig Otsby with a really good CD player and my old Thorens TD 170 from the mid 80's. { Another quick question is looking for a new cartridge that works well with Klipsch and tube amps! }. I listen to Jazz, Gershwin, Beatles, ELO, John Barry & Bernard Herrman soundtracks ( Goldfinger, North by Northwest, Vertigo - to name a few) and classical. I know I'm boring everyone, but here's my question; being that building costs are $ 175 a square foot - I'm looking at about 12' x12' by 10 foot high room for my 2 channel room. Would the Cornwalls be too boomy, or whatever the correct term is, or would, say the Heresy III work better in that sized room. (and would I be happy with the Heresy after listening to the Cornwalls?) I could be wrong but the Heresy's look like a scaled down Cornwall. I spoke to a road-rep of Klipsch to see where I could demo either of them. He said they are dinosaurs and if I wanted great music in that sized room to go with the RF-7 II's as they are more refined { his terms, not mine }. That's my question (or questions) - would the Cornwall work or would the Heresy be better - or would the RF-7 II's be better. Any more info needed, please let me know. Thanks, Steve
