  5. What a cool set up you have there, teknoid.. Cheers..
  6. My music night is started when I sit down in front of my CW & play my jazz records, every time I come back from my flight. Of course accompany by a sip or two of my fave liquid.
  7. Welcome UKNorton & congrats on your new CW III Cheers, Jimmy
  8. I bought the ST/VTA-120 from them 2 years ago & last year I added SP12 tube pre-amp with built-in phono amp (PH12) to run my CW-I. Love the sound & still happy till now. Cheers, Jimmy
  9. As someone posted before, you won't need the sub...just my 2 cents...
  10. Hi RonW, I have similar room size like yours with lower ceiling (approx. 10'). I'm running ST120 tube amp & SP12 tube pre-amp on my CW-I with Bob Crites's crossover. I like to listen to jazz and when I play loud (3 o'clock position on the power amp), to my ears the sound of the sax/trumpet is just like somebody play in my living room with no harsh what so ever. Check their website on " http://www.tubes4hifi.com/bob.htm " Chees, Jimmy

    Congrats on those beauties.... Cheers, Jimmy
  12. Hi Chris, Congrats for your CW...i myself also got a CWI few months back & I changed the crossover (got it from Bob Crites). So much in love with the sound. Cheers, Jimmy
  13. I ordered a Schiit Bifrost a year ago and beeing used to stream my musics from iPad & MacBook Air. Love the result.. Cheers.
  14. The Cornwall I and Cornwall II are both good sounding speakers, so based on your current choices I would pick the one that is in excellent condition. Also, be aware that there is an early version of the C II and a later version of the C II. The early version is physically more similar to the Cornwall. The later version (1986-1990) has the flush surface mounted mid horn and tweeter horn and the crossover is attached to the rectangular speaker wire cup on the back of the speaker, which is easy to remove. If you plan to buy a larger style high end crossover for a later version C II, you will need to remove the woofer to install the bigger board and to snip and splice some wires, then re-install the woofer. https://2d73e25b29782b6d6766-9c8af5cbfef16739445bc76457060528.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com/CW_Time_Line_MK_070522_635120773187750000.pdf Any listeners with lack of bass from Cornwalls may have a speaker wire polarity problem between the amp and speaker, or between the internal crossover and the woofer, or possibly a room acoustics condition. I like my Cornwall II's. Later version Cornwall II pictured below. Hi Khornukopia...I'm new to this hobby and just picked up my first set of '76 Cornwalls. Haven't done anything to them yet but I'm definitely not getting the bass response that I should be based on comments on this thread. I'm guessing its for one of the reasons you mentioned above or maybe my receiver just isn't powerful enough? I just bought a Denon AVR-X1100W which was about the most I could afford and I also wanted to get into the surround sound arena. Do you think I'm just under powered? I've checked the polarity amp-to-speakers but haven't looked at the crossovers yet (I am planning on replacing the caps from Crites shortly). Thanks in advance. Adam Hi Adam, I hooked up my CW I with my tubes amp in triode mode which give around 30W/channel, I can hear a lot of bass pumping around. Cheers.
  15. Welcome to the Forum & congrats for your CW. Cheers.
  16. I bought a pair of Cornwall I few months ago & changed the crossover with the one from Bob Crites. Use it with Bob Latino's ST120 tubes amp in triode mode & I'm very happy with the result. No experience with RF7 but the RF62. Cheers.
  17. Tubes, Cornwalls and some jazz, sounds perfect. Totally agree...
  18. Congrats on your CW 2...i also ended up with 1981-CW & love it!! Cheers, Jimmy
  19. Welcome to the forum & congrats on your CF... Cheers, Jimmy
