  1. Thanks budman, your link works much better than mine[*-)]
  2. Lol I wasnt saying the RF-7s were heritage, hence the comma between them. But thanks I wish I did not have to get rid of them. Of course everything I said in there was just my opinion and is subject to the listener but IMO I have never heard a better speaker in the Klipsch line...
  3. Here is the link to my ebay posting, with pictures and description etc. Feel free to message me or use my phone number below. Thanks http://www.ebay.com/itm/321086294079?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 These are for local pickup, I will not ship. I am willing to travel a bit for a charge if not too far, possibly 200 miles or so. I am in the Upstate NY area between Rochester and Binghamton. Please feel free to call or text with any questions 607-three77-2zero25. Thanks
  4. I am not really interested in the Chorus speaker.. I like the Cornwall originally as Ive had them before and it seems the Cornscala takes care of some of the harsh mids that I used to hear out of them.. They were always my favorite Klipsch speaker and still are, Im just looking for a possible cabinet redesign to the same internal volume as the Cornwall/Cornscala just taller and thinner. The Chorus internal volume is much less than a Cornwall and a totally different animal, with different dirvers etc. I love the bass of a Cornwall and that is the reason for choosing the Cornscala. Speakerfritz I would like to use 3/4 inch Baltic Birch just like many of the original Heritage line, and I am in upstate NY.
  5. Man what a great forum! I appreciate all the help and response from everyone so far, seems to have alot of community invlovement and help around here compared to other forums I have been in.. I have owned Klipsch speakers for years and really love their sound and makeup.. Ive had the Heresies(lacked bass IMO), Chorus, Cornwalls, and now the Klipsch Tangent 400's. I know, i know they are not the most loved Klipsch speakers by any means but they really are a decent speaker with the same drivers as the Heresy II's, just MUCH better bass down to 39Hz. The problem and biggest knock on them are there cabinets being weakly made and having sometimes a thin muddy sound. So my plan was to build new cabinets and do some upgrades to them. That is how I came across Bob Crites.. I was going to upgrade my tweeter diaphrams, realized he builds his own cabinets and he was going to make a set of solid Birch cabinets for these that would really clean up the sound.. Then I got to discussing things with him and realized that the Cornscalas were a design idea he had and looked in to his cabinets. I always loved the Cornwall bass, and Ive heard the Lascalas and thought they really had a clean upper end, so I knew I couldnt go wrong.. Anyways put in the order for his C design as Ive heard nothing but good things about these, realized that the wife factor came in to play, and am looking for alternatives with the same drivers.. I really like the Walrus speakers posted above and I ran across these while searching around that I liked ALOT and they were made for the wife approval lol. The only problem is he says that he does not feel the heritage sound as a result of changing the port design and dimensions, and this scares me a bit to really dive in and make a change to such a great speaker. http://community.klipsch.com/forums/t/71921.aspx?PageIndex=1 I wonder if HarryO who made the Walrus gets the same sound and performance out of his Walrus speakers as a Cornwall provides.. I dunno, I'm up in the air right now about this, wondering if I should just stick to the original design(dont want to lose out on anything Cornscalas have to offer) but appreciate the help, keep it coming Am looking to make up my mind by the end of the week, so I can have these speakers done by February
  6. Hello new member here.. I have just recently put a down payment on a pair of Cornscala C's from Bob Crites. I have just done some measurements in my living room and they would be a very tight squeeze and I would end up having to rearrange my whole living room to accomodate them. So heres my idea.. I would like to build a three way Cornscala or even possibly a two way with Bobs drivers that he offers on his website, but heres the catch... I want to build one that is much narrower and taller to accomodate for my room size. The speakers need to be the same internal volume so I can get the same performance out of these. If anyone with experience with these builds or any wood makers out there that can build with Bobs drivers to make this happen, or you know of someone that has experience in this please respond. I am willing to pay for the parts and the build itself..Also I really would like them to be three ways, Im wondering if the faital lth-142 horn could be used in the three way design with the selenium d405? I want to use the selnium horn 11-25 horn with the selenium d220TI driver for my tweeter. Obviously would want to use the Crites CW1526CF woofers. I am going to use Bobs parts as he has been very accomadating and an absolute professional to work with, with much patience with my emails and phone calls! So other drivers are out of the question.. Ive seen many excellent builds from other members so your input would be appreciated! I would like to have the wdith of these be no bigger than 20 inches or so... If the faital horn is not a good mid horn with the selenium drivers id consider the seleniumm2380 So if there is someone out there with knowledge in cabinet making and can get the internal volume to a T let me know... I would make them myself but with two kids and a 12 hour a day job time is not an option.. Thanks for any reply and idea, If you cannot build these yourself maybe even a cabinet design for these so I could reach out in my community to see if I could find someone to build them. Heres a link to Bobs website to look at his drivers and to get ideas for port size and cabinet and driver sizes. Thanks http://www.critesspeakers.com/cornscala.html
