The Cornscala "D" Type loudspeaker by Bob Crites would be a better option.
Better horn better drivers less complex crossover with only one crossover point.

re: "D" beautiful looking Faital horn - do you know if it would work well with a 1" adapter and 1" format driver at higher xover or would the adapter screw too much with DI on the top?
Karlson Evangelist
no idea about the adapter, suppose you could use a one inch driver but why would you want to introduce more distortion when a two inch exit driver has almost half the distortion that a one inch exit driver does?. I can tell you that once you listen to a large format driver you won't want to go back to small format ever again at least that is how I felt about it and I only wish I had made the jump sooner (much sooner). If you adjust the compression driver diaphragm to align up with the woofer voice coil (can do this by ear, it's like adjusting the focus of a movie projector) you can achieve amazing sonic results. Looks funny but the sound makes it look beautiful in a heart beat. With the horn up on top of the cabinet you are free to play with rotating the horn to see which pattern works best in your room. Good luck have some fun best regards moray james.

Have you tried this? Judging by the looks of the stock Type D cabinet, there is not quite enough room to rotate the horn for a vertical orientation.

Thank you for the recommendation . The Cornscala is also one that I am considering .
Have you compared the Cornwall to the Cornscala in the same listening environment ?
Thank you .
I don't have the type D but I do use the FAital 140 driver with 142 horn on top of AE TD15S woofers crossed at 800hz. IT's an awesome combo if you can DIY. Only 93db but mid 20s away from walls.
What is the overall size of this cabinet? sounds very good.
moray james
Sorry, I missed this one.
6 cubic foot internal volume.
Thanks for that. Hope you are feeling better.

... in the line above me. Be patient, I'm pretty sure he'll catch it.
FWIW, I'm pretty sure that the Cornscala Type D will sound as if it's related (sonically) to the Cornwall, but it should perform much better than the 3-way Cornwall in a quasi-nearfield setup.
Yes , but I like to keep these in order . It makes things easier , here .
well I did say to place the horn on top of the cabinet so alignment could be achieved but I am sure that if you wanted to Bob could build you a baffle with a square mounting plate which you could rotate but my preference would be to mount free on top of the box.

Thanks, I think I understand now.
