Guy Landau Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Has anyone ever placed the vert CW's on some kind of stand? or were they only designed to be used as floorstanders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo33 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 "There's a pair of Cornwalls in Santa Rosa, CA on eBay right now." Fini, I saw that and I am thinking hard. From the photo, they don't seem to have binding posts but only metal screw-ins. Do Cornwalls come original like that? Also they don't go down as low as the Forte. They are larger then the Fortes and may pose a placement problem in my small room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to know also Smilin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The company name is Jay Tronics, part #45-282G, called home theater block type spade terminal to bannana jack. if you want the web site let me know Hope this helps, I know this game of not being shure of what you want, so my suggestion is to BUY IT ALL And than sell what ya dont want Smilin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I am not a fan of passive radiators unless done perfectly. I dont think they provide as quality a bass despite getting lower. Besides Neo, what music are you going to be listening to that gets down to 30hz? Based on your tastes, this wont be a main range. I would rather have more tuneful and realistic bass than BOOM deep one note bass. Still, I have never hear the Forte so take that as you will. I like the fact that the CW are made of multiple ply, void free wood. I think the plywood is better for the tone of MDF. I know that speaker makes like Galante have the same versions in MDF and charge MUCH more for the plywood. My CW are in a pretty small room but with more open area to the side. I need to measure again. Also, lighter paper cone woofers tend to do better with SET. I dont know much about the Forte here. The idea of SET with passive radiator is not my cup of tea but others hear like the combo. kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo33 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Kelly, your point is well taken and I will eventually have a pair of Cornwalls (perhaps your?). But for now, I will settle for the Fortes for this particular room. Beside, you can't do better then $500 for a mint pair and they're local and I don't have to worry about the shipping nightmare especially for a package this big.

So take your nipples and stick it! Smilin and happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I am happy about these cornwall's, but Now I need another set of verts! Smilin for more vert's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Smilin, If you are serious I would consider discussing trading away the '73 verts for something comparable from your emerging cornwall museum. Perhaps we could also talk about something from your new NOSValved Scott collection as well. It will be hard to part with my trusty '73s. We've been through allot together. Hint: Zebra, LK-72, Zebra, LK-72, Zebra, LK-72. Let me know, or email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1101 Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Smilin', If it was June, July, or August, I'd be on the way. Too cold up there. But by then I would need a moving truck if you stay on your tear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
