krash721 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hi everyone, I'm finally jumping into the surround-sound arena.Just bought a Yahama RX V3800,using some vintage (1968) Cornwalls for the front,a pair of Heresys for the rear,and a 15 in. Velodyne sub. Television is a Sony Wega 60 inch. My question is in regards to the center channel.What would anyone recommend for me? BTW: I listen to my music and films at very high levels. Thanks for any help in this. David in Lakeland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted March 1, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 1, 2008 What's up neighbor! Welcome to the forums! Nice setup you have there. Could you add another Cornwall as your center? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesV Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Like Youthman stated, a Cornwall to match your mains would be the best possible situation. Not too many have that option, so if not then another Heresy would work. Remember the center channel is what gives up the majority of the vocals from movies. James BTW, post some pictures of those Corns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krash721 Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hello there Plant City (Tampa east?), Yes....Me thinks a Corny in the middle would be great...but what would be the chance of finding a lone Cornwall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krash721 Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hello James V, Yeah...maybe another Heresy indeed...probably easier to find one of those alone than a Cornwall eh? I will look over the download section to see if I can figure out how to post pics...I'm sort of new to the Mac scene... Also...to everyone and anyone...I have a bit of a mystery speaker that I picked up a few years ago. I feel that it is quite old...maybe 40's/50's? Anyway,It sort of looks like a Cornwall...maybe...but it definately looks like some sort of Klipsch lineage is involved. Thanks for the replys people!

Moderators Youthman Posted March 2, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hello there Plant City (Tampa east?) Yes, Plant City is 20min east of Tampa and 5 minutes west of Lakeland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krash721 Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 So then it's more accurately Lakeland West? Just joking of course.... Actually I got my Heresy set in Plant City about 20 years ago from a DJ guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted March 2, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 2, 2008 Isn't it good to know that Klipsch speakers are made for life. [] 20 year old speakers and still kickin strong (at high volumes I'm sure). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krash721 Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Oh Yes indeed! The Heresys were used and abused when I got them...not sure how old they really are...but my Cornwall set I know are from '68,and I love shocking people when they hear them for the first time...now those I think I got somewhere around '82 or so....paid something like 350.00 for the pair.

Moderators Youthman Posted March 2, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 2, 2008 I have actually never heard any of the Heritage speakers. I am only listened to theReference line. $350/pr is a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krash721 Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 I guess U could call these Heritage...I think prefer 'Old School'! Yeah,that's the ticket.... U have never heard a set of Cornwalls or Cornerhorns? Good Lord! Back in 1980, I used to drive over to Altimonte Mall (other side of Orlando) just to listen to them about twice a year,and dream of owning some. U have yet to live life to the extremes!!!

Moderators Youthman Posted March 2, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 2, 2008 Nope, I have never heard anything other than the Klipsch Reference. Maybe we could hook up sometime and you could take me to "old school". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Don't do it Youthman or you'll quickly be back in the speaker market. Just something about good heritage.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted March 2, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 2, 2008 Don't do it Youthman or you'll quickly be back in the speaker market. Just something about good heritage. I hope not. I somehow went from being interested in the RB-61 and now have found myself "upgrading" before I even bought them all the way to the RF-83 setup. Still waiting on them to arrive. Really hoping I can find out something on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
