Room acoustics and placement limitations are likely the culprit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage_Head Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I have so little experience with horn bass certainly no expert (barely a novice). I loved the cornwall bass and would have no issues going back to that part of it in a second. But cornwalls/heresys compared to the hf904/510 or now LSs mid/high is night and day imho. After owning 904s going to heresys was like going cold turkey. The LSs definitely cured me. 95% of my time with my system is tv/movies streaming online, netflix, or blu rays. So that large no effort voice (hard to describe but you have heard it most likely with the 396s so you know what I'm trying to convey) for my use. Is the largest desire I'm looking for. 904s and LSs are the only two speakers I've owned so far that have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If 95% of your time is spent with TV/ movies, the center channel and processor and your best friends. Agree and disagree. Center imo is only really important if you have one. Or if the L & R are far apart. Otherwise it becomes a liability if its anything less than the mains. I ran 3 904s behind a screen. Room was only 12' wide. 2 904s would have ran that set up with out a hitch. If you were blindfolded you would never know there wasn't a center channel. I ran a cornwall set up with no center 2 904s after with no center now 2 LSs with no center. But in all these cases nothing was ever more than 10'ish apart towed in. Bigger room with wider l/r and it becomes an issue for sure. But my days of ever running a horizontal center are more than over. Not that horizontal centers are bad. Im just permanently spoiled lol.

Heritage_Head Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Im a firm believer that speaker companies are cashing in on these smaller horizontal centers (I've owned over half dozen). IMHO a lot of set ups we see would sound better minus the tiny center that has no business being responsible for such an important part.

Heritage_Head Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Probably not until I worked my way up to a rc64ii that it became good. And that thing is a monster and retail at 1400. So hardly a good example of the norm 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A processor will dictate what is sent where (and based on how sound is mixed/broadcasted in your case) and a proper center with processing will likely sound better for movies and dialogue than a stereo setup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Why'd you ditch the 396's if you're wanting Cornwalls? You're a strange fellow.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a different system, not my main. Less than half the cost, no sub needed. Sure as hell doesn't sound strange to me. I'll take that as a compliment? Thank you for dictating what is and isn't appropriate for my wants and needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
