polizzio Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 @mopar dave Really nice looking Dave. I wouldn't mind those sitting in my LR. I bet they will sound really good; even more pleasing knowing you built them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody can do this, just need a few tools and a drive to try. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the Rosewoods are $700 a sheet. They do offer a man made wood veneer like the Zebrawood I used on my Super Heresy. I think that was $200 a 4x8 sheet.

mopardave Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Something I'm sure you notice, but I haven't mentioned it is, I left the woofer opening off center as the vertical Cornwall's were, but I did plan on getting everything centered by removing my motorboard and replacing with Crites motorboards. Mine were glued and nailed. I would of destroyed the cabinets getting those out, so I just left them as is with the woofer opening off center. One of a kind for sure, but does give character. Can't wait to finish and get a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopardave Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Here's the two colors I"m using for the grill clothe. Off white on left first pic with lambs wool on the right and light grey second pic. Last pic is off white without flash gives a better idea of the real deal. Really like the off white and should go good with the darker wood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HPower Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I am really liking that veneer! It's making me 2nd guess going with the "flat cut" Walnut that I have going on my trio of Heresy IIIs that I am currently building. What cut is your Walnut ?

It doesn't look like real wood and the real tiger wood is too grainy and too striped for me. The manufactured stuff is the better looking of the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to build a complete new pair to center everything up on the motor board. When I originally built them as vert Cornwall, I screwed and glued the motor boards in. There was no way to remove them without destroying the the cabinet. My original plan in this build was to buy a pair of motor boards from Crites. So, it is a bit of a one of a kind Cornscala and in case you don't know, the vert tweeter sounds no different than a horizontal one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to find horn. I originally bought the JBL horn with the narrow throat and after reading many negatives about them I decided a open throat horn would be best. Fingers crossed that that sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
