Nice Pictures. Thank you. Are those screw heads I see on the Cornwall? Guessing the Heresy and Cornwalls were pre veneer?...

Are the Jubilee models open in the back like the K Horn or enclosed?

I didn't look at those items. The Jubilee models are enclosed in the back.

Great pics...thanks for sharing. Was that in fact a Cornwall III and a Heresy III alongside the La Scalas?? If so, it looks like they share the same mids/tweets, as per the original Cornwall & Heresy and quite unlike the Cornwall II & Heresy II.

Yes, a C/W III, as you can tell by the woofer being moved up more centrally on the motorboard, and Heresey III as you can see from the arch in the riser.

And, yes, they share the same tweet, mid, and MR horn, unlike the Cornwall II.

They no longer veneer Heritage, but rather get pre-cut wood or MDF pieces with veneer already applied. That accounts for the fact that the grain on the 3/4" side of the upper part of the LaScala doesn't match that on the side of the 1" MDF bass portion. However, they do the staining and final finish at the factory. I was told that they no longer have oak and mahogany veneer available, a recent change it seems to me.

Yep. It was a pre-production model. Plain ol' un-veneered

mdf (mitered, though) box. Did you notice the woofer has been

moved up, compared to the C-II? That solved a standing wave

problem inside the box. I sound like some kinda expurt, huh?
