jdm56 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I was dubbing some old home movies from 8mm onto DVD-R the other night and came across some footage from 1990-92. And there, reappearing right before my eyes due to the magic of magnetic tape, was my old '85 Cornwalls, radiant in all their oak oil / cane grilled glory. I sold'em way to cheap and I do miss them. Of course, I've got my LS2s' and no place for another pair of big speakers...unless the Mrs. would let me put them in the front room. With the economy the way it is right now, there's no way she'd go for that, though.[] Oh well, I'll wait and maybe when things perk up she'll come around (the corns were her favorite) and I can find a nice pair somewhere... ...Dreaming is good! So, what speakers do you miss the most? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM3 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 So how does one dub 8mm to DVD-R? What do you need to do it? Keep dreaming and it will come true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I really wish I had kept a pair of JBL-4311's I'm not letting mine go...ok?Seriously, I will keep mine, but I do want to do some crossover mods on mine. They don't have an inductor on the woofer, for instance. It's just inconvenient to pull them out. Maybe I can pull the crossover, plug the holes and have the wires run outside the cab. while I tweak.

jdm56 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 So how does one dub 8mm to DVD-R? What do you need to do it? Keep dreaming and it will come true. AV output on 8mm camcorder to front panel AV input of DVD recorder! Piece of cake, as they say. But it is pretty slow because you can only dub in real time. On the plus side, I get to stroll down memory lane for two hours per tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 "I Miss My Cornwalls!" of course you do, most guys around here who sell Cornwalls end up missing them. There is no other Klipsch speaker in my memory that conjures up the amount of sheer 'I wish I hadn't' than Cornwalls. Me, I don't miss nothing. Except my sanity.

fenderbender Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Too Funny!!!!! I just got done posting in the "Zeppelin" thread about how much I miss my cornwalls....and then I see this thread.........it's magic..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Funny this topic should come up. I'm getting ready to head to my beach house tomorrow morning to set up my new Belles and to say goodbye to the '83 Cornwalls. Now of course I still have the Cornwalls at home so I won't be completely without. I will now have 3 separate 2 channel heritage systems with Khorns, Cornwalls and now Belles. Is that nuts? Nevermind. I'm asking folks who think it's normal to own 53 pairs of giant horn speakers.[:S] I can't imagine I won't love the Belles and yes, they are beautiful. There's something about Cornwalls though......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm such a dinosaur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Gary, what you need is LSI's for the beach house! Well Michael, I've never owned Lascalas. I'm guessing my new neighbors would really love me then![] I hear they work well for block parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchester21 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Dont worry about the little lady. Just buy the speakers. She will love them after you get them. Just don't tell her until after you buy them. No problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
