Steve, I would change over to a pair of Heresy's instead of the KG-2's. You could probably find an old Pioneer receiver over at Saturday Audio Exchange. They have a website and there in Evanston Illinois. Saturdayaudioexchange.com Marty

After talking to Trey Cannon my understanding is that the only difference between the K-33 and the K-34 is the cardboard gasket. The K-34 is to be front mounted in the Cornwall II. The K-33 has a thicker gasket so that it can be mounted from the back. They are the same woofer other than that. Dan

HDBR, I thought Klipsch used Birchwood Caseys Tru Oil on there oiled speakers or is this the same as boiled linseed oil. Dan

I bought my Cornwall II's in 1989 for $1500.00 . They were brand new when I bought them, still have them. Dan

Craig, How does a Scott 222C amplifier compare to these 299 amps? I have one and am wondering if its worth getting it looked at. Thanks Dan

Doug, There use to be a parts list but I believe it has been removed. If you call Klipsch or e-mail them they can give you a price for the part you looking for. Any particular part you had in mind? Dan

The K-57-K is used in the Cornwall II, I have a Cornwall II made in 1989 and it uses this midrange along with a K-79-K tweeter and a K-34-E woofer. Earlier Cornwalls used a K-77 tweeter a K-55 midrange and a K-33 woofer. The actual horn on the K-57 is identical to that used on earlier cornwalls other than its made of plastic, my horn is a K-601 earlier ones are a K-600. Hope this helps. Dan

Dillion, those 1964 Heresys were bought by my Dad. They still are working wonderfully in our living room. Dan

I have a pair of 1964 Heresys bought brand new. Dan

Hi, The K-79 tweeter is used in the Cornwall II, I have a pair of Cornwall II's that were made in 1989. The midrange is a K-57 and the woofer a K-34. The crossover is mounted on a printed circuit board and is mounted on the back speaker terminal connections. Dan

As of a year ago, the new prices for these parts are as follows K-79 $76.00 K-57 $178.00 and the K-34 $100.00 These were the prices direct from Klipsch. Crossover is no longer available. Dan

It seems the flush mounting (as done on the Cornwall II) would produce more even frequency response than the stock rear mounting. Also, would the installation of internal bracing offer any sonic advantages? The Cornwall is a large speaker, and it seems like the large unbraced 3/4" plywood side, front, and rear panels would contribute some unwanted resonance. Comments? ---------------- Fred, I have 1989 Cornwall II's and they have a 2x4 that is nailed between the front and the back board. This is how they came from the factory. Its mounted just below the midrange. Dan

HDBR , When Klipsch sprays the back and front boards of the Heresy and Cornwalls black, did they actually have to mask off the wood veneer sides. Was just wondering how this was done. Seems like that would be a lot of labor time to mask off every box for painting. Also were all the boards for the speakers pre-cut before arriving at the factory? Thanks, Dan

Thanks Jim and Al, I will give that a try. Dan

Al, Is there an easy way to strip the wire on Solen Litz wire inductors, the wire is 14 awg stranded? Thanks, Dan

TB, Did you happen to pick those Cornwalls up from Audio Consultants in Evanston Illinois? Just wondering. Dan

Stan, I e-mailed you the schematic for the Cornwall II crossover. The crossover is a circuit board which is attached to the back binding posts. If you remove the screws from the back binding post it will come out, you may have to tilt it out carefully because there is a transformer which is a part of the crossover. Dan

I'm not sure that the woofers are different, I once talked to Trey Cannon about this and I thought he said the woofers are identical other than the K-34 has a thinner front gasket because it is front mounted on the Cornwall II. I have also wondered why the Cornwall II does not have damping material inside. Dan

HDBR, What type of caulk would you recommend for caulking around the blocks? thanks, Dan

HDBR, Was Lynn Stevenson any relation to Carol Stevenson, Paul Klipsch's secrectary? Just wondering. Thanks Dan

HDBR, I always thought the KG2 was called that because Gary Gillium and PWK designed that speaker G Squared standing for Gary Gillium. Have you ever heard that. Thanks Dan

Craig, I've had this amp for a while, I never liked the sound of it that's why I was thinking perhaps it needs to have the tubes replaced. What else would you recommend replacing in this amp. I've just read so many posts of people loving these tube amps with their heritage speakers. I have a pair of Cornwalls that I'd like to connect up to it. Thanks for your help. Dan

Thanks Craig, I will give those tubes a try. Would you happen to know how many watts this 222C puts out? Dan

Does anybody have any experience in using this amplifier? If yes, what make of tubes are you using? Thanks, Dan

Fred, If you go to hifilit.com and click on the PWK logo, they have a picture of a 1953 K-horn, theres also a 1955 photo, perhaps that would help. Dan
