For sale a very nice pair of Klipsch Cornwalls. These are the original model, serial numbers 21T275 and 21T288. Functionally speaking, they are excellent with the following upgrades:
- ALK Engineering designed "B series” crossovers with premium parts by Hovland, Jensen and Solen Châteauroux
- upgraded tweeters from Bob Crites (CT125)
- hookup wire from crossovers to binding posts is Kimber Kable 8TC, 16 individual strands of hyper pure copper in a large-format braid
- midrange horns have been wrapped with weather-strip cord to damp undesireable resonance.
Cosmetically speaking, these speakers are in decent condition:
- tops and sides are very good, no scratches or spots to speak of
- one speaker has a couple of nicks along the bottom edge, not too obtrusive and if stained might all but disappear
- all velcro and adhesive has been removed, then the front inset baffles were sanded and repainted
- original cane grills show their age with a few minor tears. The lower corner of one cover back is broken, but the problem does not show on the front cloth. And if children or pets make covers a necessity, they can be refastened in a jiffy with a little velcro
These upgraded classics are well worth the asking price of $900. If you’re in the market for vintage Klipsch heritage speakers, you owe it to yourself to check these out.
Pictures available on request. Pickup in the Boston area preferred else you arrange shipping.
Cheers,
Richard
