Bill H. Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 After a long (for me) arduous trip, I am pleased as punch with my latest toys. I took the indirect way to Kevin Miller's house in IL. Up US 47. Kevin called me, just as I was entering Aurora, IL and led me to his house. Perfect timing. His house is beautiful, and after a short but pleasant listening period, we packed them up in my Wagon and we went to Star bucks, where he nicely treated me to a "On the Road Coffee". I headed back on the Major highways on the return and got home much quicker. Hooked up the Speakers, sat in my Lounge chair, and promptly took a much deserved nap!...........Whew. Kevin and his brother Mike are wonderful people, and the transaction went smoothly, without a Hitch. I will Post New Pictures later when I get a Digital Camera. As others have attested to, these are all they are cracked up to be, and More! Later............Bill H. out......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 As others have attested to, these are all they are cracked up to be, and More! They can't be... I don't own a pair. [8-)] Congrats... always nice to get new toys. And I always look forward to seeing pics of the gear folks get. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldbuckster Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Tell the truth, They're are an awful speaker, way too big, no Bass, harsh mid-range ............... and they don't start breathin' until you put some power to them, junk I tell you ........... snicker,snicker ............. Hope you enjoy your's as much as I enjoy mine !!!! Two plus years going from wanting Khorns, trying La Scala's, and forte II's .......... never figured I'd choose Cornwalls, but I did, and I'm glad I did, fits my needs to a T ..... ENJOY, BILL H. !!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Cornwalls are amazing as 2 ways and also just as amazing in a HT situation. You need a vertical CW now... For your center.... heheheheeh Your a great guy...I am so happy your a real Heritage believer now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesV Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Great to hear Bill, So do you have the Sansui G-5700 hooked up to them? James You also have an email back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 James, I currently have the HK 240 hooked up to the CW's and the CW's really show how much I need either cleaner, or More Power to Fully make the CW's Sing........Hope this makes sense. I might just try the Sansui-----------good Idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesV Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Bill, I only asked because I have my Corns hooked up to the H/K 730 and it sounds great. I also had them hooked up to my Yamaha 1020 until I got my Heresy crossovers back from Bob. Both of those receivers sounded great and I couldn't turn the volume up past half and still be standing in front of them. I have my Outlaw equipment, 950/750, hooked up to my RF-83 setup for HT duty.

dbflash Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Bill, Very Nice. They are a great speaker and I hope you enjoy them for many years. I had my pair hooked up to a SET and VRD's and they sounded great with both. They are now doing duty as my L/R front speaker in my HT set up (Heresy's make up the rest), which I hardly ever use. The system is being driven by a Denon AVR. Many a time I will put on the Classic Rock, Blues, Smooth Jazz or light Classical channel and have the Cornwalls playing. They sound great. Again I hope you like them as much as I have. Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 Thank you all for your Warm and pleasant comments..............honestly when I first brought them into the House I thought- Wow have I messed Up. They seemed so Big. But now (to me) they have become part of the flow on one wall................ Also as I play around and adjust the parameters on my HT receiver, I discovered (Duh) that they sound best as Straight Stereo Mode ! Then they become clearer and seem to come Alive..........Hope this makes sense. Again Thank you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 And pretty good "monster sound" for sure... PS Vertical corns are, or might be the ultimate center too... BIG beautiful between my k horns upstairs.... They fit right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
