Thanks, that makes it a lot easier .

Thanks, are any models better or worse for pairing with heritage?

Hi All, I'm hoping you can suggest surround/rear speakers that mount in (or under) the ceiling and would sound decent with Khorn/Cornscala fronts. WAF will not permit hanging big boxes (such as Heresy's) from the ceiling, but small boxes might be acceptable. I'd like to keep the cost for all 4 speakers under $1500 but could go higher if there's a big jump in sound quality. In August we'll move into a home with a great room. The great room has a front wall, 1 side wall (I'll need to build a false wall for 1 Khorn), the kitchen on 1 side, and the dining area at the rear. I'm concerned that surround/rear speakers on stands might get knocked-over. I'd appreciate your thoughts, Mikie

I'd like the Sugarloaf and the Gary Numan

I also use 5650's for surrounds (but a horizontal Cornscala center between Khorn mains). Sounds great. --Mikie

Wires are 12 gauge Home Depot low voltage outdoor wire. Glad to hear that you're not having problems with a 25 foot run - I didn't really want to hassle with separate raceways. Now back to planning the new layout.

Thinking about moving a few things around but it would require the wires to my Khorn mains to run side by side in a raceway for about 12 feet. I know running wires in parallel is to be avoided but would is it noticable with speaker wires? If so,any rules of thumb about how far should the wires be separated for the affect to be inaudible?

I just bought this for a Cornscala center I'm building. Looking forward to the new tool like a kid on X-mas eve [] http://www.spraygunworld.com/Information2/FinishlineIIIKIT.htm

Chris, the logo is awesome - looks exactly like the picture. [Y] It'll be a few months before I finish the center & get a picture up. Hopefully the speaker will be worthy of the logo. As an aside - cool packaging idea. I'll store it that way during the build. Thanks again, Mikie

Thebes - great find on the site with B&O manuals. I have an RX-2 & wanted the service manual for years. Many thanks. I got an MMC2 cartridge from sound-smith.com a couple years back & luv it. Very nice cartridge from a quality vendor. --Mikie

Thumperxes, my current center is similar to yours - except I used 10" woofers, didn't port, didn't build a stand, and my woodworking skills aren't very good. Nice job, wish I had your talent.

Tom, glad to hear positive feedback on the cast frame K-33 - I was wondering about it vs. the stamped frame.

I have got the MPS-2 and love it - excellent build quality and dead quiet. Plus it looks cool.

My name is Mikie, and I'm a Heritage-aholic [] A few years ago I built a custom center (K77, K55 w/401 lens, 2 10" woofers, & a Bec Cornscala x-over) to compliment my Khorns. The center needed to be thin to squeeze into an entertainment center over a 65" rear-projection TV. It was good, but never had the kick I wanted to keep up with the Khorns. After several years years of patiently waiting the rear-projection finally bit the dust and will be replaced with a 63" plasma on Sunday. At long last I have an opportunity to build a real Cornscala with a K33 [8][<)][8]. WAF limits total height to 24", but a width of up to 5' is possible. I'm thinking of a Cornscala with 19" internal height, around 24" deep & 48" wide (haven't calculated exact dimentions yet. The K77/K55 stacked on the left side & a K33 on the right with a single 3"x15" verticle port on the far right (wish I could post a screenshot). Before I get too far designing the enclosure I'd appreciate comments/suggestions.

Thanks DTLogno - I'll definately consider the Outlaw units. The old receiver was acting up again this morning so I decided to get a temporary unt off Craigslist. Not the greatest unit but the price was right & it'll do for a few months. Now, on with the search
