dkbks Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 I imagine a pair of Heresys would be the best surounds for my Cornwall mains. However, I can't afford a pair at the moment. What else might work? What about the KSB 1.1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 Have you tried some used Heresy's? Some are as good as new for around $400 a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen328 Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 Like you said, the heresys would make the best surrounds. I would recomend either sb-1, 2 or 3 ($174-$400). These would provide great surrounds for you cornwalls. Hope it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjohnsonhp Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 I've been using some speakers from a stereo in another room just as temporary speakers until I get the used $400 Heresys. You could buy something used cheap as a temporary fix and then sell them to buy the Heresys when you are ready. I've found my bookshelf speakers (BA A60's) give me enjoyable surround sound...not the timbre matched high effeciency heritage speakers I'm praparing to buy--but a much more enjoyable sound than no surrounds when watching movies.

Malcolm Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Feel free to use anything you can get your hands on. The Heresy is the cheapest speaker that is timbre matched to your Cornwalls. Anything else is a compromise. My guess is that listening to that compromise will motivate you to find a way to afford the Heresys even if you have to get a job, get another job, beg, borrow or steal. So why not bite the bullet now? FWIW my first rear speakers were a pair of Radio Shack Optimus Pro LX5s. Worked fine back in the days when all we had was Dolby Prologic. As soon as I upgraded my receiver and started listening to material recorded in Dolby Digital and DTS I was immediately motivated to get another pair of Heresys to match the ones I had in the front.
