Hi, got Cornwall 1 (1984) last week, and noticing low base volume, which I’ve heard before in forums, and others saying they have so much base a sub is never needed. Seems to have the capability for lots of deep base although never very tight, I hear it in certain songs, but overall, at moderate volume, base is subdued. Bob Crites B3 crossovers installed in 2002. All original otherwise.
placement tight in corners helps but I never get to a point of too much base from placement.
Questions...with front port design might altering sound damping inside help. Remove damping? switch to acoustic panel fiberglass on insides? Add thick rubber on inside of cabinet walls to reduce sound transmission through enclosure to possibly make speaker less placement dependent?
or electronics? Tried my Schiit Aegir, which everybody says is great with Klipsch, sounds mushy. Tried Emotiva class AB 75 wpc, cleaner, tighter sound, but still limited base. Need different amp? 18 yr old crossover problem?
or is just what Cornwalls are and I should just buy new woofers?
thanks so much for reading, Ted
Ps, I actually love them, I just want to love them more
