homeoption Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hello, I have a pair of Cornwall II's along with two pairs of Heresy I's that I intend to use in my basement home theater. Are the Cornwalls too big for 12.1"w, 22.1" L, 7.4" H. room to sound good? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS Button Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 No, they are not too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Ditto, above. One thing to keep in mind is to pull the Cornwalls out about 2' from the back wall and 3' from the side walls. Have them crossing behind you and then start tweaking them a few inches at a time. You find just the right spot for them. Go for separation first on the long wall, but depending on your seating, the narrow wall may be the call. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted June 13, 2006 Moderators Share Posted June 13, 2006 If you can still walk in and sit somewhere they fit just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 are you suggesting to use them as really big headphones dtel [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Depending on the orientation of the room, if you can, put the CW's about 1/4 in on the longest wall. About 10-12' between them works well for me. If they have to be on the narrow wall, they should be toed in slightly toward the listening position and to keep early reflections off of the side walls. A distance from the back wall is common, experiment an inch at a time. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted June 13, 2006 Moderators Share Posted June 13, 2006 are you suggesting to use them as really big headphones dtel [] Never thought of that, but that would be better than to small. Would sound good as headphones though. I have been reading here for years and have never seen a post about speakers that are to big, ok maby one the guy with the MCM Grands,i think it's called.

Cal Blacksmith Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Not possible to get them in a room too small. I have mine in a 10x12 room with no problems, well other than walking in the room[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleJ Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Put me down for "No the room isn't too small for Cornwalls" vote. I have my pair in a room that is vey close in size to yours (13X24.5X8) and they sound great for being on the shortwall. The reason I can't put them on the long wall is because there are 3 Cornwalls, a pair of K-horns, and pair of Belles in the same room.

homeoption Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Thanks, I appreciate all of your advice. They will be on the narrow wall with a projector screen in between so there won't be much room to work with. Now finding a center that will match is my next challenge.

psg Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Be sure to at least try them on the long wall, pointing directly at you. They will likely pull an impressive disappearing act when you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
