mopardave Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Setting up a theater room soon. Using a Marantz NR1504 to drive everything. Since this will be a listening room as well as theater, I would like to use the Cornscala's up front. My question is, would the Black Label 120 sub and the B-200 rear surrounds be a good match to the cornscala? Room measures 15x21'. On a bit of a tight budget and these fit the budget.

Zen Traveler Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I would think after you level-matched your system they could work, but I have no experience with thos particular speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, do you think the RP-600m might be a better match or not worth the expense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psg Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Something with a similar top end to the Cornscala would be better, no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo, there is no "correct one" and I would buy one locally that you can return if you don't like it. Make sure you level-match it with the other speakers and see for yourself...This is the internet and you will find varying and contradicting opinions...hat said, I've read (on the internet) that the newest models are slightly "warmer" than the older models so if I were to rely on what I was reading would go with latter. My 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I received the r51 this week. Unboxed and unbagged them. No paper work of any kind and one speaker was covered in dust and had no rubber feet. They were in a original sealed Klipsch box. The seam to work ok. Purchased off Ebay. Will see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will see Looked at the receipt, they are direct from Klipsch. Hard to believe they would put dusty speakers without feet in a bag and box it up.
