TBD, Sorry for the confusion about the email address. It is Steve.Crowley@faa.gov .Sounds like you got a great buy on those Cornwalls. Have you hooked them up yet? I think you will be extremely happy with your purchase. The soundstage is huge with those speakers. At the time when I bought my Heresy's at Listen Up in Denver I heard the Khorns and cornwalls at the same time but could not afford them at the time. Give them a listen and I think you will probably want to keep them. It never pays to not ask. They just do not come up very often for sale as shipping them is rather out of the question. As far as refinishing them you can probably use an extremely fine steel wool to remove the water spots but don't rub to far down. I will get the name of the stain I used this weekend as I can't seem to remember it. Guess age is catching up. Enjoy. Steve

TBD, If you are interested in selling those as is please let me know how much and when your thinking about selling or trading for them. I have a set of 78 Heresy that I would consider trading with some cash on the side. Of course I would drive to Mckinney as I live on the northwest side of Houston. About a 3 hour drive. My email is steven.crowley@faa.gov Thx, Steve

I have read the following posts and can truly feel what in the hell are you concerned about? If it sounds good to you then live with it. As a regular member of the Houston Symphony I do not know of having members of the orchestra sitting in different corners of the hall playing their instruments. The only exception to this is Tannhauser when the brass is at the back of the hall and only have I heard this one time while at Sam Houston State back in '74. It was conducted back when Dr. Fisher Tull was director of music. As having very old equipment and in two channel I have begun to assemble some HT equipment by reading the posts of all the great people who have given great responses. Movies do sound better now that I have put together some equipment, but I still prefer good ol' 2 channel. One thing I have noticed about Klipsch speakers is that they do produce effortless dynamics associated with classical music. And one thing to remember is that no two music halls will reproduce the the same timbre. The Berlin Philharmonic hall has adjustable reflectors for the size of the orchestra in order to maximize the sound from the stage for coverage to the audience. I want to thank all of you for great info on getting into Home Theater.

johnny24, I just purchased the Onkyo DS-TX797B and could not have been happier with the purchase. I have heard the Denon and it does sound fantastic but the Onkyo seemed that much clearer. The 797 will allow a greater flexability for system expansion IMO. It has 3 optical,3 coax, 2 wideband inputs and 1 output, a 6 channel input for SACD and other formats. The list goes on and on. Plus the 797 recognizes the THX EX automatically when you set up the inputs correctly. I did find the remote to be sort of cryptic at first but after reading about the connectivity it is rather simple. And the remote controls every piece of equipment I have. At least give it a try, you will not be dissapointed. 2 '78 Heresy 1 KV2 Center 4 KG1.2 surrounds 1 SW-12 Thorens TD-124 Dokorder R-R RCA DVD
