  1. Do you build a Cornwall crossover with a different design than Bob's/stock or Al's?
  2. I think it's like when you say a word too many times, it starts to sound wrong. like chipmunk.
  3. GIK sells Guilford of Maine, which I used to cover a bunch of acoustic panels. It looks fairly similar to my Cornwalls, except without as aggressive of a weave texture. I think it would make nice replacement grill cloth.
  4. er...what? Perhaps I'm reading wrong, but are you saying you think 'all analog' systems will inherently produce better imaging than a system with say.. a digital front end and SS amp? And where did you get the idea that recordings that have the least amount of "mastering processing" will have the best imaging?
  5. Interesting discussion. I just bought Cornwalls (mostly on reputation) and the thing I was most surprised about is that I don't care about the imaging that much- they are used in my living room which opens to the kitchen/dining and are in a very compromised placement. But they sound fantastic as long as I just enjoy the music, instead of sitting in the sweetspot (such as it is) and focusing on imaging. Which is usually a hugely important thing to me. But I have multiple listening spaces and lots of different speakers/systems (I'm a recording engineer) and I just realized if I want holographic reproduction I'll go downstairs to the studio. The Cornwalls bring so much to the table that outweighs pinpoint imaging in my case. All that being said- they image ok. It's not like you don't get a center image of the kick/snare or singer when they're panned dead center. Also, as others have said, the room and placement/treatment are pretty important if imaging is important to you.
  6. Was about to post this same question, as a new owner of some sweet later (1979) Cornwall 1s, glad to find this via search :). I just spoke to both Al and Bob, and Bob was pretty convincing in his arguments against the steeper slopes that Al uses. I'm giving Bob's B-2s a try.
