Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways It's still rock and roll to me 5%?

edzu1234 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 There is NO WAY the Cornwall IV sounds better than a pair of La Scala's with a HIGH QUALITY SUB (SVS?)!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edzu1234 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I have heard the Cornwall IV and I have a pair of older La Scala (recapped) with a good sub. I will take the La Scala's every day of the week. The proof is hearing both speakers, and justifying the dramatic difference in cost to be a an additional debate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am debating with myself over passing them along to my friend's son, who has offered to buy them, and getting the Cornwall IVs. Sounds like a good plan that will make the two of you very happy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only hope one of them one of them has the growth and courage to walk away. Never thought I would see the day the one would be pitted against the other. Sad day to even think it could happen. Yeah, it's been a hot topic many times before, when the CHII had the better mid horn and could dig deeper than the Cornwall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard 70s era La Scalas and I wouldn't take a pair + cash for my cornwalls. The AL5 is probably a different story. But the improvements made on the CW IV make it a much more enjoyable speaker than ealier La Scalas. To each his own........... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerwoodKhorns Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Why discourage someone from buying new speakers with the latest improvements? There are others in the world who are not a bunch of cheapskates like us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 he could also buy a Forte IV , the newest kid on the block , as it can take on the Chorus II - but the Cornwall IV , no way - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
