dirtmudd Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Hello all, new member here. I'm looking for a pair of Cornwalls that are in decent condition within a 150-200 mile radius of Birmingham, AL. They don't have to be visually perfect - just structurally tight and sound like the ones my old college roommate had back in the day. If there are any around, let me know. Thanks! Mike .

nivroc Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Nivrock, have you replaced the caps on your 78 Heresys? That was the first thing I did when I bought them. Boy, what a difference that made! Before doing so, the left woofer was distorting and buzzing on one certain low frequency and wondered if I had a bad voice coil. It disappeared after the recap. I still love the sound of my Heresys on probably 90% of the music I play, but like most others, I long for that little extra umph on the remaining 10%. Thanks to all who have posted suggestions and ads- you guys have been quite helpful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J M O N Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 For what it's worth, I prefer the Cornwall over the Chorus II (have owned both). In fact, it takes the Klipschorn to beat a Cornwall for me. Here is a nice short Cornwall review by old memeber Mobile Homeless: http://home.earthlink.net/~ivol/audio/set.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longdrive03 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hi Ned, I mean Nivroc, I've got a friend here in Little Rock that I've redone two sets of C's for and he has another set of CBR's (baltic birch ply) that someone stained. Just put a new Crites 15" woofer in one. Don't know if he's willing to sell them or not but I could mention it to him. The grills need to be redone but the cabinets are in good shape. I think Birmingham is about 6 hour drive from the Rock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prerich Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'll let you know if I'm willing to let go of my Cornwalls. I actually have three...two regular Cornwall 1's and 1 Vert. Mine have ALK vB crossovers, Crites CT125 tweeters, and custom smoked glass tops. They are finished in Oiled Walnut - they are mighty fine speakers indeed. Grills are 100% and they also have the Jubilee Copper insignia (along with the ALK insignia as well). One other bonus, they each have the Heritage brochure tacked on to the back of the speakers as well. I'm not sure on getting rid of these, but if I do - I'll PM you unless you've already purchased some. I'm about 232 miles away from you in the Florida Panhandle about 25 miles south of Brewton AL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivroc Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Found some yesterday for a great deal and just brought them home! 1983 CBR unfinished with cane grilles in VG condition. Tweeters are confirmed dead by testing continuity, but no worries. Going to recap first, then use the tweets from my Heresys for now. I'm tickled pink right now.

hugot Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I have a pair of tweeters left over from an upgrade to my Heresey's, excellent condition.Make a reasonable offer. FYI, I have my heresey stacked on my cornwalls and the sound is incredible.I will never part with them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivroc Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Do you have them daisy-chained to the Cornwalls, or do you have them powered through another amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugot Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Same amp a Pioneer Spec 2, I use A/B switch. Sometimes if the wife wants me to keep it low I only use the Heresy's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Same amp a Pioneer Spec 2, I use A/B switch. Sometimes if the wife wants me to keep it low I only use the Heresy's. Nice setup. I have had the Heresy / Cornwall together too. They do very well together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT FAN Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Me three, I have my H2's stacked on my Cornwall 2's, takes care of the alleged Heresy bass shyness quite nicely thank you. Enjoy your new toys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your new toys. And the Heresy fills in some mid bass and adds a touch of mid horn too. The difference in the sensitivity is just right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivroc Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 The Cornwalls are currently disabled/under construction, waiting on crossovers and tweets (thanks Hugot!), so I took your suggestions and stacked the Heresys on top. Stephen was right on the money about the bass response. Man, what a difference! I oriented them in different directions - vertically & horizontally - and found the best for my room & listening position was laying them horizontally with woofers inside/tweeters out. Once I get the room straightened up & the Cornwalls back in service, I'll post some pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Man everyone is wanting Cornwalls lately. I've thought of letting mine go lately since I never listen to them hardly. I'd have to talk to my wife about that one. She is pretty passionate about that pair Funny so is mine.Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Never positioned the Cornwall on their sides. If the room is large (wide) enough, one might try the Heresy as centers. Something like the Cornwall were originally designed to be the center to the Khorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
