Those look beautiful, and I'd guess they look even better in person. Whatever they cost I'm sure they were worth it! Wish I had a space for K Horns but my CW's do me pretty good, too...

I'll try to follow your instructions and persuade you not to buy them... I think the price is still a bit high considering the condition (cosmetic damage, non-original parts) but not unreasonable. Make sure they are 100% functional, too. You might want to consider bringing your Scott amp and a few musical selections that you know well for a listening test. Beyond that, a push-pull tube amp like yours can rock your world with CW's. They should amaze you... CW's can also be hard to come by and as others

Great story - thanks for writing it up! I got a pair of cwII's last week myself but I only had to drive 40 miles each way sunny CA. I would have driven quite a bit farther, though I think I'd agree with your comments on the sound being full and clear in the midrange and maybe a bit reserved by comparison in the treble. Not lacking for treble detail, however, which works nicely, I think. (I listen 100% on a vinyl/tube system) I'm considering rebuilding my crossovers, too, but I'm just going to listen

Darrell - as you figured out these were indeed Greg's speakers. I've been looking for a pair of Cornwalls for quite a while and these were the first ones I finally saw advertised in the bay area so I emailed Greg within an hour of when his craiglist ad was posted (lucky timing!). Greg later said he had

Hi all, This is a great forum that I've used for a lot of research before managing to grab a pair of '87 Cornwall II's (CBR) recently. The are very near mint and I love the sound. I acted fast and got them off of craigslist locally for $650 as advertised - first cornwalls I've seen listed locally since I started looking a few months ago. I'm considering rebuilding the xovers as documented in other threads and possibly adding some damping material (batting?) inside the cabinets like the older cornwalls
