i had cornwall 1's and heresy 1's in the same room for comparison. they sound  the same at low to medium volume but when you turn them up the cornwalls rock

Yeah I figured that it’s just a space issue I have now, I’m practically giving them away now to get some smaller speakers

Tom, on second thought you'd better upgrade.  I'll see if I can find someone to take that piece of equipment off your hands.  Probably won't have to charge you too high a disposal fee.

 

;^)

So you want the Luxman?

[Help? Luxman 115 pushing Cornwall’s 1]

Hey all, I have a Luxman R115 pushing Cornwall’s from 1977, would I benefit adding a 125 watt power amp to this setup? Would I get better sound with clean higher power? I know the corns are super efficient, any help appreciated thanks Tom

Haha!  What do you care about devaluation, aren't you keeping them forever?

 

Put new quality caps in and do a good, tidy job.

Never know lol, if I did them I would get the Crites ones I don’t have any soldering experience

I think caps should be changed. There is no way the originals are even close to spec. its not that hard to do. You can keep the originals if you think you might want to put them back in but I bet you wont after you hear how much better they sound. Do one then do a mono comparison test then just turn the balance knob back forth to hear each one.

Thanks, do you think that would de value the speakers at all by not being 100% original?

I have no idea who MS code belonged to...maybe that was one of the sanders in the sanding room.  There should be a pair of initials either above or below those two initials, but sometimes they got aggressive in the sanding room and they will be very faint....or filled-in with wood putty.  Yes, the sanders sanded the rear edges of the panels...sometimes totally removing the codes for the builders.  Did you check both speakers??  I was the primary builder of all the Cornwalls and also the birch Heresy speakers from early 1977 until I left in September 1983.  Other people also built them, normally when I was taking a day of vacation off!  I also built some of the miter-jointed finely veneered Heresy speakers at times...if there was a need they threw me over there, since I was normally way ahead of the sanding room...with lots of speaker cabinets waiting to be sanded.  In early 1977 mitered Heresy cabinets were still assembled using chain clamps.....mitered Cornwall cabinets were assembled using chain clamps until well after I left.  In 1977, if I was not there on a workday, the Cornwalls were generally built by Ronnie Barham or Charles Horn or both at once.

I will check again to see if I am missing something, it was a bit dark and I looked quick before work, let me see if I can find out for you. You can text me if you like and I can send some pics of them, Tom 716-361=1667.

I probably built those...face the rear of the speakers, then look at the side panel REAR EDGE to your left, about an inch down from the top...if you see a stamped-in letter "A", then I built them. 

Maybe I’m looking in the wrong place ?

Tom, if your Cornwalls sound great don’t fix what ain’t broke. Just enjoy. My LaScalas are 46 years old and my Heresys are 41 years old. Still sound great and never been touched.

Thanks! People are divided on upgrading or leaving alone, prob keep them original as long as I can until I need to repair something.
