I don't share that philosophy as the buyer did. I prefer to optimize the sound of every box whenever possible, using the latest technology, if doable and affordable, which it is! No I used his home for a museum. I have, ahem, other things to occupy my time with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobby2xs 51 Posted September 3, 2020 Could these be mounted on the exterior of the motor board on Cornwall 1? I bet they look so good, but would want to show them off instead of the mounting style on my Cornwall are behind the motor board. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think there is space on the OEM motorboard for these unless you just replace the whole motorboard and start over with a new piece of wood.

PrestonTom 821 Posted September 3, 2020 Regarding free standing horns: As a general rule, horns do best when they are mounted on a baffle (not set back but rather flush or a bit proud of the baffle). There are a few reasons for this and it may or may not be true in this particular instance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are a few reasons for this and it may or may not be true in this particular instance. For freestanding horns I would be leaving the stacked and glued wood as a rectangle with the horn cavity cut flush into the front face. Debating provisions for a method to raise the whole thing up so reflection off the top of whatever it sits won't happen and to be able to tilt some for best sound. There are a lot of ideas I am debating right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
