PrestonTom Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 The woofer in the CW is not the weak point in the system 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistedcrankcammer Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I think that if more Bass is what you are after that you will have much better results by Bi-Amping your Cornwalls and rolling on the Bass sooner. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon string Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I replaced mine with the Emminence Kappa 15c with very good results. Parts express has them for $125. They have a much tighter bass and in turn really clean up the mid range/mid bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arash Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) I don't have a CW but I have Bob's Cornscala with CW1526 and CW1526C woofs. I'm also dealer of many European brands in my area so I could check different woofers to see how they perform in a BR cabinet like CW. there are some driver I remember so far: JBL 2226H: good punch, adequate bass but not in the face. not very linear in front of a mic I preferred it over CW1526©: No JBL M115A8: low efficiency, not much bass, nor a good upper bass I preferred it over CW1526©: Hell no! Selenium 15SW600: the painting of the basket give me the creeps but this thing performs well. deep bass and pretty linear. ugly "JBL Selenium" logo on the dome could be easily removed. I preferred it over CW1526©: I don't know. BD15: top notch quality, deep bass in right Q box, reference upper bass, high efficiency, fast and devastatingly linear! I preferred it over CW1526©: absolutely Beyma 15LX60V2: deep bass, high efficiency, fast, pretty linear I preferred it over CW1526©: Yes Faital Pro 15PR-400: deep bass with good punch, highly efficient, build quality is superb. looks humble I preferred it over CW1526©: Yes I also tried some BMS 15 inchers and I didn't like any of'em. Bob's CW1526C is a killer in it's price IMO. I would buy 5-6 more pairs if they would cost me 300USD/pr but they cost more than 600USD/pr for me so I prefer to use other products with higher price but they still cost me less due to easier shipping from Europe. these are subjective comments from a probably biased listener and could be probably wrong.

I preferred it over CW1526©: absolutely Beyma 15LX60V2: deep bass, high efficiency, fast, pretty linear I preferred it over CW1526©: Yes Faital Pro 15PR-400: deep bass with good punch, highly efficient, build quality is superb. looks humble I preferred it over CW1526©: Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO1 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 thanks for the info - as the klipsch drivers are 4ohms if I am not mistaken - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedcrankcammer Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 thanks for the info - as the klipsch drivers are 4ohms if I am not mistaken - The Klipsch woofers in Belle, LaScala and Klipschorn are definitely 4 Ohm because since they are being used as a compression driver, the amp sees way more than a 4 Ohm load. Not for sure if the K-33e, etc. used in Cornwall are still 4 Ohm or not, but using an 8 Ohm woofer should not be a problem if the cross over is properly set up for it since you are not loading the woofer up so much.

OO1 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 The woofers in all the heritage series apart of the Heresy 1-2 are 4 ohms - the Cornwall -Scala -Belle-Khorn and Heresy 3 are 4ohms - Here below is a thread that dealt with the K33 - and is very detailed as Bob Crites had added some technical info - https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/148475-k-33-e-vs-k-33-b-specs-anybody-have-factory-measured-ts-data/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
