Klipsch Cornwalls vs. JBL L110 speakers with McIntosh MC2205
I am considering a vintage 1978 pair of Klipsch Cornwalls or a 1979 pair of JBL L110 speakers- both will have updated crossovers (and woofers for the JBL). I would like your input as I will not have the luxury of a side by side comparison. As well, I will be running either pair with a McIntosh MC2205 (rated 200W RMS per channel @ 8 ohms. Should I be concerned about the amp just idling rather than using more of its' power due to the efficiency of the Cornwalls? Or, is it an advantage to have that much headroom? Thank you for your input on both the speaker selection and the amplifier question.

@musicearlyadopter , JBL most certainly still makes the L100 speakers, they are called the L100 Classic speakers. It has the 12 inch white pure pulp woofer, a 5 inch midrangerange and a titanium tweeter with a built in wave guide. Mine look fantastic on the JBL stands and the orange grills. They aren’t bright like the original were. |
