PhilMays Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 So, the Cornwalls have "Rocked my World". On my mancave theater I was going to place my forte II's for my surrounds and use an academy for a center channel.....NOW, I'm considering Heresy's for surrounds and a center, OR another Cornwall for the center and Heresy's for surrounds......Any thoughts?

Groomlakearea51 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 You have my vote for using Heresy's. A very useful and cost effective Heritage speaker that can do amazing things considering it's size.[Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesV Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Either setup would be great, or you can go with all Cornwalls and not look back.... [] I hope to work this into a reality for myself but I am looking for a specific year on the last set of vertical Cornwalls that would round out my 6.1 setup...

jtkinney Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Heresy's make a fine center. I'm sure the Cornwalls would also, I just haven't tried that yet. They are too big to put in front of my RPTV, and the TV is too heavy to pick to put on top of the corn's. I have also use LaScala's for a center, but again too much work now. I haven't heard Forte's but they should also work with the Heresy center, or as surrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm56 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Three CW's up front would be cool if you have the room, but Heresy's for center and surrounds would only be slightly less cool and might be a lot easier to manage. That's probably what I would go for: Two Corns / Three Heresys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White_Hawk Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 All CW's if you can, otherwise Heresys =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laager Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 How much space do you have? Heresys take a lot of space and effort to use as surrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted January 8, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 8, 2009 I looked at you system profile, [] very nice audio pile you have going there Mr PhilMays ! [] Same kind of things I have been trying to figure out, But I have no space for a Cornwall for a center. I am thinking a Heresy should do well for a center except for the bass and that should be covered by a sub for Ht. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 My opinion.....another Cornwall for the center and Heresy's for surrounds...... And a sub later...... HOME RUN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I have settled for a heresy center due to space constraints. No complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilMays Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 IndyKlipsch Fan, I think that's what I'm going to do, if I have the patiemce to find a single CW. However, I may just add the Heresy's first and use the Academy I just got from Michael until I find "one". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that idea and it will sound really good, if you ever run across a single Cornwall try it out, Academy's are not easy to find especially in that shape, you could always sell it.

Islander Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Heresies work great for centre and surround, they're just a bit heavy for any wall brackets I've ever seen, so my surround Heresies are on a bookcase and a tall wooden box. That may not give "as-designed" bass response, but it's better than having them on the floor behind the sofa. They're also strongly toed-in, because when they were facing straight ahead, the treble response was down and and the volume at the sweet spot was down about 4dB.

PhilMays Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Dtel, I could sell it but you know the story, I'll just build another theater around it....perhaps "the boy" will have a little theater in his room based on academy, forte II's and some other unknown speaker.
