mctrigger Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 hi, first time guy. have a chance to purchase as set of cornwalls for around 750 if he hasnt sold them aleady and a set of custom super nice cornscallas for around 1200 or 1300. not sure how much better sounding the cornscallas would be vs a nice orig set of cornwalls. should i stick with the originals for resale down the line or just get what sounds the best. i guess i'll i'll prob have them for 30 years. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbox Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hi first time guy and welcome, I had a set of cornwalls for 20 years before i sold them. i'd say for 750 vs 1250(approx), id buy the cornwalls...just my thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tragusa3 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 If you run a nice sub, I'd pass on both a find LaScalas for $800-$1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 should i stick with the originals for resale down the line or just get what sounds the bestYes, and I'd expect the Corns to sound the best. That's what I'd go with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotusmark Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Listen to both and then make your decision. But I'll bet dollars to doughnuts, you pick the Cornscalas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Geeze, you said Cornscalas but not onw person asked what components are in them? DId he just swap the K400 horn (popping out of the back [:|] ) or replace everything, possibly even new cabs? The difference in price is big so what are you looking at?

Dr Morbius Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 *Listen to both and then make your decision. But I'll bet dollars to doughnuts, you pick the Cornscalas!* I have to agree, I picked up a pair of Cornscala's 8 months ago and feel it was the best money I ever spent...... Remember if you can, use a tube amp, it seems to work best with the Cornscala's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mctrigger Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 hi, makes sense. iam going to find out. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 mctrigger, welcome to the forum. hope you will post about what speakers you get, your thoughts on the sound and pics, too! If resale is a consideration, you should be able to recover your investment from Cornwalls. Vintage CWs will need to have fresh caps in the crossovers. That's not an expensive proposition, though.

mctrigger Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 hi Steve, how ,much did you pay for your Cornscallas? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Morbius Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 mct, I paid $1300 without hearing them - I thought they would be good, turned out they were Exceptional ! I also have an H.H. Scott 299C amp which is nirvana when you connect them up. The worst thing I can say about my system is that it is just incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mctrigger Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 when i post the pics which is the best place to post them? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mctrigger Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 hey steve, purchased the cornscallas over the weekend and you were right. they sound remarkable. the guy had a restored/updated 35 watt dynaco amp. he just kept cranking it up and up and up with no noticble distortion. i have a old fisher x101c or a fisher x202b iam going to try with it once it can get them out of the truck. they weigh 150 lbs each. thanks pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard the Crites Cornscalla type "D", and have oiled oak '83 Cornwalls. I'll take the Cornscala type "D" two-way...they are rather nice soundingThat being said, I still like my rough ol' Cornwalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
