  1. MC Blue     I think Cory is a better dealer than the one you use now. He tries to help you and you cut him down. Not cool dude. If you wanted any regular Corns that would be different. But you want very special ones. 

    You know you could put Lambs wool on yourself I have done it. But like Cory said it its not easy on a Cornwall because of the size of grill. Thats main reason they dont offer it they dont have the time to deal with the problems at the factory.

  2. I have ha 3 pairs of Heresy's and never lacked bass. Not sure if its your amp but I have used HK 430   630  dynaco st70   Carver power amps   sony 7045. I would check amp to see if it is in good working orde.

  3. I would think about adding a layer of plywood on inside of panel 1/2 smaller so uses same sealing area. I did this to my pair of Heresy's and panel is definitely stiffer than before. But it is a sealed speaker so probably more needed. But im sure Cornwalls rear panel flexes even with a port on it. Thats a pretty large panel without any kind of support. 

    Or you could add X bracing to back panel to stiffen it. You could also make an extra one for experimenting with that way you could A-B them without ruining the original one.

  4. I would just get better tweeters from Crites and call it done. I dnt think you can get new diaphragms for those anymore...unless Crites has found a supplier. I would not buy them off ebay. 

    Seal the back board with some thin door foam that will help all around the sound also. 

  5. Almost forgot.....If you veneer even if you don't I recomend countersinking some screws into side bass bin panels at upper and lower joints. I did mine when I veneered the outside and now you cant even move the panels with my knee and both hands. Before you could see flex just by grabbing the panels by hand. I wished I had made video of it no one believes me but its true.  I'm sure the veneer helps some also.

  6. Those are worth fixing up. I would sand then use bondo on dents,,,square corners....fill stapel holes and such. Then veneer with some good wood of choice. Then probably make sure all drivers working. Rebuild the crossovers. Then sit back in enjoy. May want to get a 70s receiver I recomend HK 630 or 630 or a Pioneer.

  7. Part of it is the Yamaha but speaker position may have an effect. Make sure jumpers are tight on the back. I would try toeing in aim in front of head or behind your head. I bet you used the mic with auto set up that will sound bad in my experience. Try using it to set levels then adjust tone manually. 

  8. When I was around 16 long haired punk ...lol. Got my mom to take me to stereo bug audio store. Just so happened Paul was there. He talked to me as an adult gave me a hand full of Bullshit buttons. We listened to K horns,,,Belles. Decided then I was buying Klipsch, Later in the 80s I wrote a letter to Klipsch asking about a Klipsch group or club. They sent back they didnt have a club and a price list of T shirts.

  9. If buying new might as well go to TESLA and get the benefit of 2/3 saving on fuel. But I would wait till the Austin plant gets going so you can get new battery and one-piece front and rear castings. 

    The gas-powered yard machines are also getting phased out soon. If you want to learn more about electric cars there are several youtube shows you could watch. Now you know channel is good.   Best in Tesla Channel is good..Thats just 2 of many. 

    If she is looking for used 4 runner i would look for a 2 wheel drive less to go wrong with it. 

  10. I recommend a Amazon.com: Ortofon 2M Red Moving Magnet Cartridge : Musical Instruments. What serial number are they? We can tell you how old they are then. Some of those with that mid driver have noise from that plastic cover on them. Easy to fix though. Check the washer and tightness of the mid driver to horn. 

    But they look great worth the money also. Not sure what you have for amp but 70s receivers seem to sound better on these. Welcome to the club.
