Speedmaster Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hello, I'm new to the forum and would appreciate any advice. My current set up is: MX 134 Preamp running 2 channel, Mc 7106 (bridged), Mc 275, McIntosh SL6 speakers I would like a more musical speaker to pair up with the Mc 275 tube amp. Heresy, Forte, Chorus, or Cornwalls? Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Any one of those choices will preform well . Budget Room Size HT or Stereo WAF Get the Most speaker you can Afford . If you have the Room Cornwalls would be an excellent Choice. JMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIGARBUM Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I also have a MC275, I have run it with my Cornwalls, Bells,Cornscalas and KHorns. In one word "WONDERFUL, all of them Enjoy CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedmaster Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Thank you. There's a set of Cornwalls for sale here locally but will need to have the cane grills repaired. Any experience or suggestions on who/where to take take? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 You are best of redoing the grills, unless you can come across the same material the next best thing is a synthetic fabric not the same thing but close lots of folks around here like it a lot I don't remember the name I am sure some one will chime in soon. welcome to the forum. duder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEvan Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 1. Budget? 2. Musical preferences? 3. Do you have two good corners in your listening room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedmaster Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 $800.00 budget Smooth jazz, vocals, instrumental (piano, guitar, saxaphone). No room for 2 sets without upsetting my wife. I'm already taking a risk by considering the Cornwalls. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEvan Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 $800.00 budget Smooth jazz, vocals, instrumental (piano, guitar, saxaphone). No room for 2 sets without upsetting my wife. I'm already taking a risk by considering the Cornwalls. Thank you. If you had teh corners and budget I'd recommend Klipschorns...of course. But 1500-2k used is the current tariff on these. They are less intrusive on a room & its decor than most other speakers. Sounds counterintuitive but 'tis true. Barring that, Cornwall, Chorus & Forte are each wonderful. But Cornwalls are BIG boxes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedmaster Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Had to lug my Mc275 across 2 bridges (Bay Bridge was closed) to test Peter44's Cornwalls today. He did not have them set up. They're now playing in my living room. My wife's already voice her opinion on the asthetics, but they sure sound good. Thanks everyone for your advice.

Thanks everyone for your advice. well, if your wife is upset about them, you should definitely get rid of them before it damages your marriage. my modem went out and i was without internet for a day--missed out on that very sale, after i posted asking peter if they were still available. my loss is your gain--i hope you enjoy them. happy listening!

Speedmaster Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Thank you. Customer service at Klipsch also suggested Wendellfabrics. Do you know of anyone that I can actually send it to? It's not my area of expertise.Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedmaster Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 BigStewMan, The Mrs. has already offer to make a cover for the Cornwalls. I told her it was okay as long as I get to keep them.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hklinker Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Good choice on the CW's. I use them with my MC275 and MX110. If you want to really blow your mind, change out the squawker to a Trachorn. It makes the warmth of the tubes even more mellow! As for the size, my ultimate project is to remove the base and build them into a wall unit with a wine rack on one end, Book/Media rack on the other end, and an art deco oak cabinet in the middle to showcase the gear. Without the base they are 35.5" tall which is just below counter height My wife was freaked when I first set them up but now she really likes them. She even posted on Facebook that "Vinyl is better!"
