Cornwall with Heresey center

[rocknroll1]

I have read a few places of people trying a Heresey between 2 Cornwalls. I happen to have a set setting laying around and was wondering if anyone had tried it and how it sounds. Is 2 better than 1? Also how would I connect them with my MC 30's?

never tried it, but but the heresy was designed as a center channel speaker. so was the Cornwall for that matter. you should be able to find a schematic for how to wire it on line. I've seen it before but cant remember where.

Here's a link to a thread I started some time ago about the same subject. It's got a couple links to useful info. I've got Khorns and wanted to use a Heresy as a center.

why not use the two Heresy as centre front and rear? You might try them on their sides for better horizontal dispersion.

I had that setup for a very short time. Works well

rear would not work for my room setup

Oh, I didn't have the rear center. I was referring to using a Heresy between Cornwalls.

If you will Google Paul Klipsch White Papers, you will find several of Paul's recommendations on how to hook up a center speaker. But he recommends a third amp. Davie Obrien had a hook up method for. single 275 but I don't think it would work with 2 separate amps on different chassis. You can use the Cornwalls in place of Cornerhorns, just toe them in toward the listener like you would the corner horn. If you have the space I would use a center Cornwall, but you'll need to tone down the power to get a proper blend, some thing the less efficient Hersey will do as is.

You need a center channel as you separate the mains speakers further apart. This became more prominent in the early 60s when peoples living rooms became larger (the upper middle class) and a center channel became an option (like on Fisher and Scott totl). Heresy and Cornwall or Klipschorn and Cornwall/La Scala/Belle were the speakers of choice for Klipsch. A lot of these people were updating a mono system that had a mono amp and one speaker.
