As many here know, Ive owned way more of Dave's speakers than any one person should.

He build me what was my reff pair for many years... his Circle track tweeter + Eliptrac+ALK= amazing... a few years after that he had a wild idea to slam a pair of his eliptracs into some con walls. Dave found a pair of original corn walls and got to both restoring and hot-rodding these war horses.

When I came to feel my rega 324 was limiting factor, the sale of these bad-asses funded my purchase of a VPI Classic I. Missing my 2ways brought about the design of the split cab conscala cabs, yet I still missed my originals.

Recently the person who bought my originals from me, offered to trade my new Black cornscalas for my old pair... I jumped out the chance to have my pair back... After a few hours of listening, he and I came to a trade we both loved... and I gained my 2ways back and he got the reference has had been always chasing.

The Veener is not perfect, and so Ryan is going to put some quarter swan sepela on ... Ive seen it on his bass bins and its a head turner... Im just happy to have an old friend home :-).

Very nice Justin! It is alway good to get back to the sound that you love.

You have some really nice stuff Justin. Glad your old friend found his way home.

It looks like you built your house around that speaker. Just from a visually aesthetic perspective, it was a great move. Add to that your enjoyment of the sound, and you have made a very wise choice. Congrats Justin!

I wish that was my choice... Its a small bedroom which may have been used as an office, thus having 2 alcoves that are ~14" deep. I don’t have a ton of space in that room, so I try to make the most of it.

The 3 ways defin sounded "better", esp with the new tweeter... Dave poured a ton of sweat into them, but they protruded into the room another 10" making a 10x10 room a hair smaller. The fact that these are true cornwalls means alot to me. I sell/ or help people (myself included) build splits, but I love owning a piece of the Co. history too.

The 2 ways have a smoothness I really enjoy... somewhat different sound but still heritage. Maybe a good comparison would be Altec 416s vs Model 18s or JBL L200s vs L300s.
