  1. Very nice work. Wish I had the courage to take on cabinet work. I got a heck of a deal on Cornwall III's several years ago and love 'em. The only rub (and the reason they were a deal) is one of them has some cabinet damage on a front corner most likely the result of shipping screw up. New veneer would not be enough to fix it. If you are patient, you'll get these sold and probably for close to asking price. Good luck.

  2. I picked up an RW-12d from Newegg on a close out about 18 months ago and we've been very satisfied. It was a steal, so maybe look for any current close outs. I was aware of Klipsch' reputation for less than stellar quality in subs, but the price made the risk worthwhile. The bad part of this is we are now spoiled and if something goes wrong, I'll feel compelled to buy another sub and will probably have to pay through the nose for it. I would not spend substantial $ for a Klipsch sub based on the problems I've read about on this forum and elsewhere. Hope that changes in the future.

  3. I could be off base, but the author of the article is probably in no position to claim that digital is "better fidelity." He states that he doesn't even own a turntable and proudly states that he is not about to buy one. Likely has no vinyl collection. Maybe he's just "read a lot" to justify his opinion without much personal experience. Many of us who own BOTH vinyl and cd's and have substantial experience with both, would beg to disagree with his opinion. I think it's perfectly legit to prefer digital but it's a lot easier to respect such opinions when they come from people who also have a legit (experienced) basis for comparison. This guy doesn't seem to have it.

  4. Tannoy has a great name. Value? It's really more a matter of current market price and the only way I know how to find that is to research sale and asking prices for the same speaker in about the same condition and age. I'd love to get hold of a pair of Tannoy Westminsters but doubt that I could afford them. Happy hunting!!

  5. Love the Belles. I passed on a chance to buy a pair 5 or 6 years ago. Thought the guy wanted too much and he wouldn't budge on price. Probably should have bitten the bullet then. Next time. Please let us know how they are working out for you.
