No way to have too many speakers. Bob Crites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Y'know Bob, I got thinking about that tonight. I'm going to have the top sections from those industrial split LS, I'll have to wire up a Cornscala and give it a listening test while everythings in the shop. Could be really ugly...

colterphoto1 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Moonie, At least buy two K33's and slap em in, you can blank off the horn holes and fire em up and at least hear the low end, sounds like that's what you're going to be most critical of anyway. Is there anyone near MOON who can give him a Cornwall auditon? You're certainly welcome over here at pilgrimage time, but I'll bet you're dying to get going on these babies!

Daddy Dee Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Bob's CS kicks butt, big time. I know. I've heard it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Michael, With your Lascala tops, just the woofer connected in a Cornwall and a bit of crossover work and you would have a Cornscala. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Well... I dunno what I'm doing yet. Yes, they will be filled at some point. right now, I'm just trying to get price averages to see how much it's going to cost me to fill these cornwalls up. Not worried at all about the crossovers or woofs. I know that there are lots of options for those. What I'm most ly worried about are the horns. Those most likely will be what I try to acquire first. I'm still undecided on which version I want 1 or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 What's the big diff Moon? I take it you're favoring the K601 horn, then I'd opt to get the K55 as they're more plentiful, just make sure they mate up. Xover-wise, wouldn't you just have a B3 in either case. Tweeters the K77 and K79 are so close as to make negligible diff. I'd just buy whatever was available and slap it together. In proud Cornwall tradition.

colterphoto1 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Moon, you could always put a tractrix horn in , or do the Altec thing or ??? Lots of variations in the midrange department, but I'd start stock and see if you were pleased with that first. How else will you know if you've improved on the original? Plus any deviation requires a xover adjustment making the project more complicated and costly, if those are considerations. Just my .02.

m00n Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Yeah I agree. I plan on trying to make them stock to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Yippie... Got my K-57-K midrange drivers and horns today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very diplomatic LOL! That's how it's done my friend. yer on yer way. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Nectar Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Nice work, m00n - those are the toughest part of the system to get.....especially the midrange horn. It's going to get easier from this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't want to spend the money for them right now, but nor did I want to pass up my lucky chance at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have missed the threads talking about his CornScala. What is it? A crossover? And actuall corwall cab and lascalla cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 yup, Cornwall bass with LS top (tweet the same, just mid would change) Supposedly a MONSTER of a cabinet. Other derivations would include the Cornwall 500 with an Altec sectoral horn on top. Really ugly but screams. Just build it by the book for now, we'll get fancy later...
