2Bsmooth Posted October 4, 2002 Author Share Posted October 4, 2002 Thanks for the info NOS, I'm already running a pair of cornwalls and heresy's. i was hoping for someone who had heard these and could give me a comparison, oh well, i may just have to take the time to look/listen for myself.

dougdrake Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 You're on the right track to give them a listen for yourself. The Tangents had a short life span - only 2 years. We don't see them talked about very often in the Forum, nor do I see many for sale. Either the owners love 'em to death and don't want to raise their heads to talk about them, or no one has any (LOL). DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleasname Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 I know this is an old post, but ive got a pair of Tangent 500's I do love em to death. Running them at 400 watts @ 4 ohms. They sound awesome. I do have a question tho. I need to replace the woofer in one of them(child with screwdriver, OUCH.). Does anyone know the who/what/where/how much? thx - flea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleasname Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 awesome! thanks JTS8! they do have a replacement, but its out of my price range at the moment. oh well, good things come to those who wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnm Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 At C$600.00 in nice cosmetic condition they would be a very good deal. Try the seller at C500.00 at which price you probably should be wearing a mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 2bsmooth, I know Tangets aren't talked about much here, but my question is, with your Heresys and Corwalls-(besides k horns), what more could you ask for? I figured you must be in heaven already.............I love my Heresys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M6 Driver Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 You could try plan "B" find a shop and get them reconed. might save money that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
