I have never heard Lascalas, but I can hear how they improve on the Cornwalls.

What version are you going with?

BTW, Bob is a great guy to deal with.

Dynamics and that "jump" factor are two big reasons for me. When it all comes together, they just sound more real than other speakers.

Roxy,

I have pair of Bob Crites Cornscala "C" version. I am very impressed with the Selenium D220TI tweeter he uses. After extended listening I feel as though the highs in this speaker are every bit as good as my old Grand Veenas with the Murata supertweeter. Delicate, extended and airy.

"So it all comes down to finding the right compromise for a given listener."

Very well put. And that, dear reader, is really what it's all about.

I went with the C version because of the better dispersion of the tweeter. My room isn't huge, but it is bigger than some. I am glad I did, because I think this Selenium tweeter is excellent.

Kiddman,

I was one of the devout anti-horn guys and it was a lowly Klipsch that opened my mind to the possibilities. All it took was a pair of Cornwalls to unseat my Reference 3a Grand Veenas. And six months ago you couldn't make me believe I would give them up for anything.

"I remember hearing VMPS, a giant box of differing drivers, sound pretty coherent from over 50 feet. 12 feet? Forget it."

Any speaker that has to be listened to from 50 ft. away is pointless.
