Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

The unfinished "Decorator" Cornwalls (at least the 1974 models I used to have) were ensconsed in fairly nice (albeit unbraced) birch plywood cabinets.

The Cornies are true 3-ways, too... not a whizzer to be found, although both the MR horn/driver (an Atlas PA compression driver in mine) and the HF horn (the somewhat redoubtable EV T-35, AlNiCo in my case) are both seriously flawed IMNSHO. They can sound great with excellent program material and sympathetic amplification, but IME one will find specific recordings that are unbearable to listen to.

Case in point: Allison Krauss' live "Ghost in This House". Oy.
(and it is NOT poorly recorded)




all the best,
