Well thanks Kevin. When do you plan on having them mounted in the khorns? Once the cooler weather gets here I’ll have some time to spend with the Cornscala

Thanks. I just need more time with them.

Looks like Claude has recommended a Kappa FER PRO LFC for a possible woofer instead of the 15c. These 3015LF-4's have a sensitivity of 96db where the 8 ohm version has a sensitivity of 98.4db. Maybe i should have bought the 8ohm version instead? Not sure, but something is not quite right in the combo yet. Either ALK CSW or the woofer. Sound good, yes, but not as good as the Supers.

eBay. A man in Russia makes them. Search EBay for badges.

Spent an a little time with the Cornsala's yesterday. I tried 9 attenuation on mid horn and 6 on the DE120 tweet. The 9db setting brought the vocals more forward and they needed it as they were sounding a bit distant. Tried 8db on the mid leaving the tweet on 6db attenuation and i think it sounded quite nice. I'm looking for that sparkle and i just have not found it yet. I'. thinking maybe try some E 15c woofers in them. Something still seems to be missing. Here's a pic where they currently rest at my fathers place.

These sample are from Gullford. I used light grey on the cornscala and medium grey on the Supers.

This is the grey i used. See if i can get you a pic on the speaker.

Over the past winter i built a pair of CornScala's from my home built vertical Cornwalls. I have not spent alot of time with them yet, but i'm still yet to hear a big improvement. I used the ALK CSW/universal and after the last adjustment to 9 on the mid and 6 on the tweet using B&C drivers it did bring the vocals more forward, but my Super Heresy's still have a more lively sound with more bass. I had to use a router and cut a pocket in the rear board to get the mid horn/driver combo to fit. I still need more time with them, but i'm thinking a DeanG crossover may be the fix.

I watched the auction. How much did they cost new?

I believe crossovers need to be build specifically for your drivers used? I use the eminence fl3015-4 with DE120 and DE85 mid drivers. Not sure these would be best suited to my combo.

I see. I have the CSW universal ALK crossovers in my cornscala's. Not sure i like them or not yet.

Is there something you didn't like about them? I hear he builds real nice stuff.

Back at my fathers to install AC for him and get some other things done around here. Had a couple hours with the Cornscalas. Tried some other x over settings. In this order I tried 12 tap and 4db on the tweeter. Didn’t like it. Then 14/4, no go. 12/8 was good then 11/8 and cranked some ac/dc to 100db levels and it was fabulous. Then changed my format to swift jazz(the rippingtons) and it didn’t sound right, needed more mid horn I thought, so changed taps again to 10 and 8 on tweet. Very nice, but I still have a bass heavy sound. Not bad, but I think I might try 9/8 next time I come up. I’ll have the wife. She has good ears for this.

Talked to Al yesterday. He suggested to try 9db attenuation on the mid horn driver which has 107db sensitivity. also try 10 and 11db. So he confirms what others have said here. Thanks

I agree with all of that. I tried to get in touch with Al Monday, he must have been busy. I will try tomorrow just to get his take on my components and where he would suspect the cross overs to be set. It does sound good, just not where I want it yet. I will get there and my fathers house is a temporary setting for now as well.

Claude, i'm using the ALK CSW/ universal cross overs. The B&C DE85 are rated at 107db sensitivity. Listening distance is 10ft.

They sound very clean and open if that makes sense. I need lots of seat time to get them dialed. The big horns are awesome

Yes, it looks like the 8ohm version is 98.7db and the 4ohm version is 96db. Sounds backwards, seems like less resistance 4ohm would give high db

I just looked up the sensitivity specs on the components. Eminence 3015LF-4 is 96db, B&C DE85 is 107db and the B&C DE120 is 106db. I understand some of the components need play time, so will leave settings on CSW crossover as is for now, But next time I get the backs off with try 9, 11 and 12db attenuation on the mid and dial the tweet back further than the current 4db setting on the L-pad. Its sound really nice and alive right now. I do believe I need some hours in the listening chair as well. Thanks for all the help guys. I truly didn't know what I was doing, but I got a handle on it now.

I tried that and you were right. My hearing loss is starting to show more and more as I get older.

I did check each speak at 1 meter and they both seemed to have same out put, but my ear tells my the right speaker on each amp are playing louder. I have a Douk kt88 12w/ch and an Audcom EL34 25w/ch.

no the loudness doesn't really follow from one side to the other. My other system is the same way using all different components. strange. I tried switching cables on my Heresy system and made no difference. Thought made this was normal, but wanted to post and see. Only thing that's the same between the two systems is that both amps are Chinese. One is 12w and other is 25w, different brands thou.

One other thing I would like to mention is the right speaker plays louder than the left just as my other system with super Heresys. Why is that?

I will be patient. The setting right now is 10db attenuation to bring the mid inline with the 3015 woofer, both now at 98db and tweet at 4db. They do sound very nice. They stay clean at 100db, but they do sometimes sound off a bit. I notice male singing voices are low at woofer height and female up at mid height and sometimes it sounds as thou the mid plays low notes.
