Boomzilla Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Would I be better off with a pair of Heresy speakers and a good subwoofer or with a pair of Crites CornScalas with no subwoofer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Given the two choices - I'd choose the latter. However, the Cornscala has much lower WAF acceptance -they're pretty large. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris I agree, don't worry about the WAF, if you have one, just ask it's either this hobby or one with poles and girls, her choice.

moray james Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Just in case your wife is sensitive to huge boxes in the living room why not a Quartet? better horns than the Heresy or the Forte ll same horns bigger bass driver slightly larger or KLF 20 nice size dont need additional stands which both the Quartet and Forte ll do to get the horns at ear height. Both of these alternates are considerably smaller than a set of Cornwalls. Best regards Moray James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Heresy's and Cornscalla's? That's a lot of speakers!!! Ha Best regards Moray James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomzilla Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 ... why not a Quartet?...or the Forte lI...or KLF 20? Thanks for the suggestions - i hadn't thought of those. Let me restate my goals & why I came to the choice originally stated: 1. I want bass to at least the lower 30s 2. I want as much midrange detail as possible 3. I want a simple solution, if possible (fewer boxes = better) 4. Size doesn't much matter (wife tolerates speakers well) 5. I want to minimize cost What I've had in the past: La Scalas (Good midrange but no bass extension) Cornwalls (Good bass extension but some loss of midrange detail) Heresys (OK midrange, but no bass extension) What I already own now: Heresys Difinitive Technology Supercube I self-powered subwoofer (flat to 13 Hz) Obviously, the current setup meets all desires above except No. 3. To finance CornScalas, I'd need to sell the current setup & toss in some cash. The benefits I'd expect from the CornScalas would be in the area of desire No. 2. How would Quartets, Fortes or KLF-20s fit into this plan? Alternately, would putting the Heresys up on stands provide additional clarity? The bass could be compensated for by the sub...

Groomlakearea51 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Just get a pair of K'horns!! It will solve the problem and you will really find out if the wife "tolerates speakers well"... LOL!! [H] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitaldad Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Buy 2 Heresy's for every Cornscala you plan to buy. Then, after several months, sell the Heresy's as you buy the Cornscalas. The wife will be happy you've culled the herd by 50% and speaker size will not be an issue. This worked very well when I bought my K-horns.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supercube1 isn’t flat to 13 Hz. actually not even close it dips way off around 25 Hz. I run a sms-1 sub eq it has an onscreen set up and shows the true performance of subs. only way it would hit that # is if they had the stats at like +15/-15db. I love the sub works great with my other subs but I don’t know how def tec gets away with their stats on their subs. All their stats are crazy they rate the amp at like 1200 watts too [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
