Do these speakers make my TV look small...LOL

After listening to dozens of speakers and multiple wasted purchases I have finally found my speakers...

Now it seems I will have to put Mr Crites on my mailing list, I'm sure I can find a few things in there to upgrade.

They are supposed to be CO-BR...1977 vintage, but with a poor stain job.

K33-e, K55-V (with K-600) and K77

They sound absolutely amazing, albeit a bit harsh in the top end with some stuff cranked up to concert levels...but overall, the best speaker I have ever heard.

Let the journey begin...WOOHOO!!

Current setup (for now)
C33 pre - MC2505 amp - Thorens td160 - Revox A77 mkIV - 77 CD-BR

No, the TV makes your speakers look Large! Congrats, I'm still searching for my Cornwalls... someday. Enjoy.

May be wall reflections. You could try toeing them in a little to see if that improves things.

I think they do make the tv look small, I think ( if wife is involved, say ) minimum for cornwalls is a 50" tv ! Wink

I have them in a bit right now, I think the problem lies in the fact that just to the left of the left speaker is the entrance to the room. A long hallway that may be sucking up some of my music.

Yup don't underestimate the toe in!!!!!!!

First off, I don't even consider myself a member of the general public. I know that my own requirements in a loudspeaker are those I've discussed. Judging from what contact I have with the general public, though, I conclude that 99 percent of the general public doesn't even know what accuracy of reproduction is. My company is for the one percent composed of perfectionists who buy these expensive speakers.

Naah... Mean would be sharing my neighbors ghetto outdoor theater (in a recently built, but as yet unfinished, 16' square pool house. 96" wide by 54" tall... The audio part is SERIOUSLY lacking.
