tidmack Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 Hey all, I'm on the lookout for another pair of Cornwall I's or II's for my rec-room. I live near Milwaukee, WI and would like to find a pair w/in driving distance. Anyways, I may entertain a partial trade for my LaScalas for some Cornwalls. If anyone has any info, please post or email at: tidmack@yahoo.com thanks Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBusa Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 Hiya, May I ask why you're not happy with the la scallas in your rec room? How would the cornwalls be better for you?

tidmack Posted December 15, 2001 Author Share Posted December 15, 2001 Busa, Ahhh, good question. I"m happy with my LaScalas, but I'm running them with a pair of cornwall IIs. I'm really torn between the best of the two speaks. I really enjoy the strong mids on the Scalas, but as everyone knows, they really lack the low-end. That's why I bought the Cornwall IIs. They really hit nice down into the 30's Hz, which I miss on the Scalas. BUT, I don't think the Cornwalls have the mids that the LaScalas do. At any rate, I've been toying with pairing up the Cornwall IIs with another pair of Cornwall Is or IIs and either selling or keeping the LaScalas for the living room. Do I maybe have a good combination, with the two complimenting eachother with their individual strenghts?? Maybe I'm better off leaving it the way it is? Either way, I'm definitely looking for another pair of Cornwalls. If anyone has any leads within 200-300 miles of milwaukee, let a fellow Heritage fan know!! Thanks and any comments or suggestions are welcome, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpgwagon Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 I've seen several comments about the Scala's lack of bass. Mine have very deep tight bass,much better than most subs. I'm talking shake the house bass. They are bone stock. I gotta wonder If it's placement or component issues that don't let Scala's really work. I had to try a bunch of different receivers (from very spendy to very cheap)to find what worked. ------------------ Home Theater: Technics SA-1040DX Klipsch SF1 Fronts Klipsch KSW12 Sub.

BigBusa Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 There is a member here who has 4 cornwalls and from what I've read he's real happy with that setup. I think you probably would too. I have never heard the LaScalas but I have heard others speak of their lackluster bass. I have one pair of cornwall 1's and wouldn't part with them for the world. ------------------ My system thus far: 1980 Cornwalls (mains) 1990 Heresy II's (rears) 2001 KLF-C7 (center) 2001 KSW15 (Subwoofer) NOTHING-Thanks for NOTHING UBid!(No reciever) Kenwood DV402 (DVD) Sony KV 27V55 (9 year old 27" TV still kickin') :eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 The LaScalas have great bass ...as far as it goes which is about 45-50 Hz ... which covers a lot of music but some like that extra "punch" that the Khorns or a sub can provide to 35 Hz or lower...the bass that's there is very clean and dynamic, however. ------------------ Soundog's HT Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
