kraemer Posted May 23, 2001 Share Posted May 23, 2001 A while back, I read (on this BBS, as well as on the Klipsch Web site) that the KLF-C7 is the perfect match for the Cornwall II's (for 5.1 home theater). However, the new klipsch web site now states the Academy Center is the correct match for the Cornwall II's. Does anyone have experience with using both center speakers in combination with the Cornwall II? Does the C7 or academy center match the C II's better? What about surround speakers? Any help is appreciated, as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cornell Posted May 23, 2001 Share Posted May 23, 2001 Hey buddy, get a Heresy for center, problems and answers solved, good luck, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cornell Posted May 23, 2001 Share Posted May 23, 2001 Id go with the Heresys for center and surround, beings your matching this with cornwalls! You can get the Heresys for a good price on E-BAY check it out! Good luck Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraemer Posted May 23, 2001 Author Share Posted May 23, 2001 Jim, Heresy or Heresy II? Does the heresy or heresy II match the Cornwall II's better than the KLF-C7 or Academy Center? Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cornell Posted May 23, 2001 Share Posted May 23, 2001 I would go with the Heresy 2s if you can, the tweeters would match better!! Once in a while some one sells one Heresy, because they buy a pair just to have 1 for center! keep an eye out for them on E-BAY! You can try different centers, the cornwalls are hard to match, if you see the academy center try that one, let your own mind decide!!

boa12 Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 i have a c-7 & klf-30s w/ cornwalls in the rear (due to space/room config.) though I haven't (yet) been able to mate the c-7 & corns, I think it would be an excellent timbre match. of course if i had the space i'd have the corns in front w/ the c-7 (damn fireplace). but then i would have gotten a heresy (or II) before a c-7 (confused yet?) anywho, i thought someone said on another thread that u can special order a single heresy II. might want to check that at 1-800-klipsch and/or your dealer. ------------------ Klipsch KLF 30 (front), KLF C-7, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub woofer Monsterbass 400 sub interconnects & Monster CX-2 biwire & Z-12 cable Marantz SR-8000 receiver Sony DVP-C650D cd/dvd player Sony Trinitron 27" stereo tv Toshiba hi-fi stereo vcr Technics dual cassette deck Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box Boa's Listenin Lounge: Klipsch RF-3 (front), RC-3, cheap little Technics (rear) Monster MCX Biwires Sony STR-DE935 a/v receiver Kenwood KR-9600 AM/FM stereo receiver (vintage 1975) Russound AB-2 receiver switch to RF-3 Teac PD-D1200 5-disk cd changer Technics direct drive turntable Sega Genesis game player Sub: None yet rock on!

PhilH Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 Kraemer: To clear the confusion on why the recommended center for you changed on our website....we used to only list the current available model that was the closest match to a customer's speaker. Due to popular demand, we now list the original matching center/surrounds to your speaker, whether it is still available or not. how's that for customer service!

kraemer Posted May 24, 2001 Author Share Posted May 24, 2001 Philh, Thanks for the information. BTW, What is the recomended match for surrounds? Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilH Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 kraemer: There was never an original matching surround speaker to match the Cornwall II due to HT just getting started during its reign. The best match will be our new RS-7's when they hit dealers in a few weeks. Big sound to match the sound of our Heritage pieces of today and yesterday, along with Legend and our new RF-5 and RF-7.

boa12 Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 or maybe another set of corns for rears though i know they're certainly not wdst but they fill in my rear short wall pretty well phil, what about the heresy II thing i mentioned above? can u order a single heresy II from klipsch? thought i heard one could. ------------------ Klipsch KLF 30 (front), KLF C-7, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub woofer Monsterbass 400 sub interconnects & Monster CX-2 biwire & Z-12 cable Marantz SR-8000 receiver Sony DVP-C650D cd/dvd player Sony Trinitron 27" stereo tv Toshiba hi-fi stereo vcr Technics dual cassette deck Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box Boa's Listenin Lounge: Klipsch RF-3 (front), RC-3, cheap little Technics (rear) Monster MCX Biwires Sony STR-DE935 a/v receiver Kenwood KR-9600 AM/FM stereo receiver (vintage 1975) Russound AB-2 receiver switch to RF-3 Teac PD-D1200 5-disk cd changer Technics direct drive turntable Sega Genesis game player Sub: None yet rock on!

dougdrake Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 Boa - Ross Taylor ordered 3 Heresy's from a dealer, so I guess that qualifies as being able to break up a pair... Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwiener Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 Kraemer, I have Cornwall IIs with an Academy center and Heresy IIs as surrounds. It is an awesome combination with a Denon AVR 4800. I would do the same thing again in a heartbeat. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 Don't the Heresey II and Cornwall II have the same Squawker and tweeter? Looks the same in pictures. If so, the HII would be a great match. I have a C7 mated to La Scalas and it is a good, but not quite perfect match. The C7 is smaller than an HII and is shielded, so it might be the best match if you have a direct view TV.

jscott Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 I am currently using an Academy center with Cornwall I front speakers. Is this the recommended center for the Cornwall I speakers also? On an unrelated note, the horn in the Academy is vertical rather than horizontal. What is the reasoning for this placement? Thanks, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty65 Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 John, The Cornwall II and Heresy II use different tweeters and squawkers. Actually the Cornwall II and Heresy II have the same tweeter horn but the driver on the Cornwall II has a much larger magnet structure. You can buy just one Heresy II, I did for my center channel between two Cornwall II's. I'm trying to find a single Cornwall II for the center to see what that sounds like.

Chris Robinson Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 As luck would have it, I just picked up a Belle Klipsch for a center channel ... I have both a walnut oil Heresy (I) and KT-LCR/THX-rated center channels for sale. If you're interested, let me know ... robinsonc@mediaone.net.

J M O N Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 Here is my recommendation. For Cornwall II's, another Cornwall II would be the best center. If that is too big (most likely it is), then a Heresy II would be the next best choice. An Academy would follow as the third best choice with a KLF-C7 as the fourth best option.

myram Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 Hey Chris....... I just emailed my buddy and he might just want that Heresy that you have for sale. I gave him your email address so if he is interested he is going to send you an email. He too has Cornwall 1's for fronts and he is just setting up for HT. ------------------ Home Theater System: Klipsch Quartets - mains for both systems Klipsch KV3 - center Klipsch KG.5's - rear surrounds Klipsch KSW12 subwoofer Denon AVR-1601 Music System: Adcom GFA-555 Musical Concepts Modified NAD 1600 Pre/Tuner Sony C-67ES CD Player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
