Actually, I think it will sound even better once I start modifying the amps and pre-amps. Got a long list of mods to carry out!Also planning on building Al K.'s Cornwall crossovers at a future time. But at the moment, I am pretty satisfied with the sound. Weiming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weiming Posted April 10, 2001 Author Share Posted April 10, 2001 Hi Al, quote: Originally posted by Al Klappenberger: Weiming, I am courious about what looks like sound absorbing pannels on the right and left wall. How come? Did they do anyhting for the sound? Al K. Well, because my two side walls are pure concrete and plus the fact that my room is only 9 feet wide, it is very "live"; lots of ringing and echoing when I clap my hands. The egg crates were painted to match my ceiling to act as diffusors. Attached to the crates is a layer of polyester batting to help absorb some excessive bass energy due to the dimensions of my room. Thing is that when I put them up, it was for my old pair of speakers and it did work. I assume it works for the Cornwalls too as I am too lazy to remove them Weiming.

kent120 Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 Nice system! I also use my Klipsch with bottlehead gears:-) Did you use step down transformer for your foreplay and Paraglow? I will face the same problem in the future when I return to Malaysia, so please share your experience:-) My system: VPI HW19 JR/ AQ PT-5 arm/ Dynavector DV10X4mk2/EAR 834P CAL CL-10 cd player Foreplay (Anticipation, Snubber, Sweetwhisper, Hovland caps) B-glow 300B amps (Jensen PIO caps) Heresy I (P-strap, Jensen PIO caps, Alpha Core inductor, Vampire binding posts) Kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weiming Posted April 10, 2001 Author Share Posted April 10, 2001 Hi stormin, quote: Originally posted by stormin: Very nice Weiming. How do the paraglows do on the bottom end? Looking at building a pair myself. Well, I have no complaints whatsover about the bottom end of the Pglows. I actually prefer them to my old YBA amp. It has more bloom, body and weight and sounds oh so good...feels chocolate syrup flowing through my body(not sure how appropriate this is though ) The Pglows are really easy to build and you can tweak them to your heart's content! Mine is stock and the sound is already d*mn good. I don't think you will regret building them. Plus the support is excellent like the Klipsch forum. Weiming.

Weiming Posted April 10, 2001 Author Share Posted April 10, 2001 Hi James! quote: Originally posted by James D McCall: Beautiful cornwalls!

It is really a miracle my cats have not scratched the covers as yet. However, I prefer the speakers with the covers on. The 15" woofer is just too intimidating to look at while listening to music. One thing I don't like is the use of velcro to attach the speaker covers though. Mine is falling off and the grill cloth is also fraying at the seams. As such, I just leave the covers on permanently.

kent120 Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 Actually, I have heard the Paraglow in my friend house. You are absolutely right that they sound damn good! They provided more detail and high freq extension. But my B-glow sound warmer:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Foreplay is using the Black Art transformer. The Pglows are using the De Young universal transformers. Doc B now packages the Magnequest PGP8.2s for those living in countries with 220-240V supplies. Would love to try the Jensens, but they are real costly. I am actually using Solens in my Foreplay and Pglows. My Cornwalls came with rebuilt crossovers, also with Solen caps. Might be too much of a good thing Weiming.
