Not much love for the Cornscala in this forum, as you can see. I will be picking up a pair of the "C" version in a couple of weeks. I will post my results, but doubt anyone will care. Shakey

Thanks for the reply. I feel pretty good about staining, but I wanted to do the front baffle in a mat black. I am going to get an estimate from a local custom wood worker today on what he would charge to do the whole thing for me. If it's not terribly expensive I may hire this one out. I don't want to half *** it. Shakey

Hello All, I will be picking up a pair of unfinished Cornscalas in a couple of weeks. I am on the fence regardeing veneer or stain. I picked out a stain I really like and did a test run and it came out pretty good. What are most people here doing? Veneering or staining? Thanks, Shakey

I actually just made a deal last night on a pair of type C Cornscalas. I will be meeting the guy to pick them up in three weeks. I do have to stain them, as they are still just raw birch. Shakey

Sorry, just reread your post and see you are talking about two channel only, so disregard my HT remark. I still stand by it, it just doesn't apply in this instance. Shakey

Forgo all the equalizers and tone controls. Keep it simple and keep it tubes. That is really what you need. Not to mention that mixing two channel and "Home Theater" seldom work. You will have to compromise one or the other. Shakey

Sorry for the jumbled mess. I now know not to use "quick reply", cause it don't like paragraphs....[] Shakey

Thanks for all the comments guys. To give you a little background about me. System is: VTL ST-150 K&K tube phono stage Sonic Euphoria PLC (autoformer passive) Well Tempered Amadeus with Benz Wood body SB Touch with MHDT Havana DAC and CIA PS I have a pair of Reference 3a Grand Veenass that I am selling after hearing the Cornwalls. The GV are great speakers, but the Cornwall just moves me and is the direction I want to go in. I would love to visit the dealer in NC, but honestly I have no interest in a new pair of Klipsch speakers. I think if I heavily modified my CWs. they would be as good or better than the IIIs. I am sure the K-Horn would rock my world, but that is out of my price range right now. The Cornscala sounds interesting and on paper makes sense. I just don't want to deviate too far from the sound I am getting now, cause I like it. Oh and BTW. any detractors that say Cornwalls can't work out in the room should come over. These are nearly six feet from the front wall and bass is solid below 40 hz. I tried them close to the wall and the magic disappeared. Yeah, they sounded like really good speakers, but I already have that. Into the room, they sound like musicians playing instruments. Shakey

New member here and new Cornwall II owner. I really like what I am hearing and would like to go to the next level. I am torn between updating the xovers and tweeters or going whole Hog on a pair of Cornscalas. Comments and thoughts are welcome, but I would really like to be able to hear a pair within driving distance of southwest Virginia. Thanks, Shakey
