Northman Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I am about to pull the trigger on purchasing a pair of Cornwall to put in our main living room. The size is; 16.5 x 29.5 ft.. I am planning on putting the speakers in the middle of the 29.5ft wall.. 9-12ft apart from each other. Now, on the opposite side, there are two large windows, 11ft long x 7ft high.. with a fireplace in between them, 6.5ft between the two windows. What I am worried about... will these speakers be to big, and might do some damage to these windows in the long run? I mean, fluctuations or bass constantly moving the window panels, might break the seal between the two panels and let air in between them. Am I beging paranoid?

jjptkd Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 If you're listening loud enough to damage your windows you have other more serious things to worry about like your ears 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelt Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Will cornwalls flex your windows to the point of damage? Probably not.Peel the paint? Most definitely. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosee1955 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Put a set of thick drapes over windows. It will make the bass sound better, and keep out pesky neighbor's! It's your house, crank em up!Sent from my N9131 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted October 1, 2018 Moderators Share Posted October 1, 2018 No problems, many here have much more powerful speakers than Cornwalls with no problems, you would go deaf before you have any window problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 You will NOT have any window issues. They bass would have to be so loud you couldn't stand it to do that kind of damage (you wouldn't get that likely without at least a SERIOUS pair of 18" subs) . They will sound great, you will be happy. I have found, at least in my room, shoved against the back wall, in the corner produces that best overall bass quality and quantity.

You will definitely need some drapes on those windows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Usually the dry wall comes loose before the windows separate. You have room for bigger speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 That begs the question... has anyone here ever broken a wine glass with a pair of speakers playing a frequency? ------------------- OP... it's not the Cornwall you need to be worried about... it's that damn subwoofer.

I have. Actually I broke 2 glass casserole dishes and a class pie pan. Have pictures, somewhere, as proof. Several other things have hit the floor, but didn't break.
