  1. Just a heads up that I stopped by Echo Audio in Portland and saw a nice looking pair of Klipschorns for sale. (Not mine)

    Sorry I did not catch the serial numbers. They looked to me to be Oiled Walnut. Good shape. I believe they were priced at $2200. Echo Audio is a good shop with nice people. Could be a good place for someone local to see and audition Khorns:

    Hope this helps!

  2. I have recently acquired some risers for my Cornwalls.

    Forum member Joesporter was kind enough to make me some out of solid oak.(Thanks Joe!) He did a nice job as they are straight and sturdy.

    I would like to match them as closely as I can to my 71 Cornwalls-Oiled Walnut finish. I would like to do this with staining-not up for a veneer job. I have tried rubbing some samples of Watco Danish oil that I have on the insides-Natural, Golden Oak, and went to the paint store and rubbed Medium Walnut, Dark Walnut, Black Walnut. I also tried some Boiled Linseed Oil that I have on them. I think the dark walnut is closest, although it gets a bit dark picking up the grains in the oak. I would rather err on the side of them being lighter than the speaker cabinets, rather than darker. Medium oak-or just go with the Boiled Linseed Oil?

    I know there are a number of members skilled at woodworking and refinishing Klipsch speakers. I'd appreciate input; major do's and dont's. I'd like to do this right the first time.10.gif

    My thanks in advance,
