jwgorman Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Has anyone here ever compared the Crites' type D 2way Cornwall with the Faital Pro 1.4" driver to a Cornwall II/I? When I saw the response plot of the Faital Pro driver and the horn I instantly thought it would make a killer 2 way and then I noticed that Mr Crites had been there/done that! So, conceptually I can see a lot of sonic goodness from that setup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I have a couple of sets of the HF horns and drivers if you want to listen to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank1938 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I am now using the Cornscala D style. Before that I had the Cornwall III. I like the sound of both but prefer the larger horn in the D. The Crites woofer seems to have a little more punch also. Nothing against the Cornwall III, just needs a better horn since it is the same one used in the Heresy III which I also have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwgorman Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 I have a couple of sets of the HF horns and drivers if you want to listen to them. That sounds great. Thanks for the offer, I'd love to experiment with them. You're welcome to come over and play with the khorns with the B&C tweets and the luxman sq38u. Forum member Justin Weber has build the type D before and shared his opinion here. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/158843-crites-faital-2way-with-alk-ap12-500/ Bossman Thanks for that link. I tried searching that but I was using the wrong criteria. I am now using the Cornscala D style. Before that I had the Cornwall III. I like the sound of both but prefer the larger horn in the D. The Crites woofer seems to have a little more punch also. Nothing against the Cornwall III, just needs a better horn since it is the same one used in the Heresy III which I also have. Perhaps I could have titled this thread a bit differently. I didn't mean for it to sound like a WWE throwdown I have experience with the cornwall 1 and 2 models and I have fond recollections of them. For all their faults, I remember them fondly and I have spent many hours with them. Never failed to bring a smile to my face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Nothing against the Cornwall III, just needs a better horn" Now lets not just pick on the Cornwall III. It is genetic. EVERY Cornwall (1,2 or 3)needs a better horn! smile That need inspired the bastard birth of Cornscala. tc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I would think the popular approach to the Cornscala would be to use Bob's classic Cornwall motor board. Use Lascala or CW 1 parts and ditch their mid horn to be replaced with Dave's fastrac Lascala. Everything fits great. The cost is reasonable. To be honest though...I've never listened to CW III's.

justinsweber Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The Cornscala D is fantastic speaker. I used bobs baffle too. I cut it down a bit ~1" and extensively beaded it. Using ALK AP12-500 -9db. With kappa 15c. It's a bass monster. Really any awsome speaker. Hope he comes out with a type E. Faital mid horn and his new tweeter. ;-).
