Serial numbers are 3L383 and 3L384. This was the only file that fit. I will try again

I will pull them out, open them up and post some pics. I appreciate all the input. I’m not sure they would be classified as mint, however, I think it would be pretty difficult to find a pair in much better shape.

I’m in Idaho. I could probably sell them down in Boise or over in Seattle. Upgrading wouldn’t diminish their value?

I posted about these about a year ago, so forgive me. I have a pair of 73 verticals in oiled walnut. They are in great shape for their age, heck they still have the original brochure stapled to the back of one, they are sequential, no tears dents or significant scratches. The only mod are the speaker binding posts. So; rebuild xovers, other mods suggested? I have not listened to them I probably 3 years. Are they worth anything or are they worth upgrading? I have wandered from klipsch for the most part, found myself enjoying the sound of Tannoys for the past 15 years. Although I still have my rf83’s as well and I will probably pass to my kids (for some reason I really enjoy them on my other system). Any input is appreciated.

S/N are 3L384 and 85. The arrow on the back points in either direction.

I have a pair of vertical cornwalls, serial # CWO15 and CWO 16 or 14( it’s against the wall). It still has the original brochure stapled on the back. Can you tell me anything about them. Thanks

Thanks for the input, J.M. I appreciate what you said, I feel the same way. That being said, I am the youngest of 11 so am pretty thick skinned. I could make some comments, but feel it serves no purpose. BigrFish, I have two pair of Tannoy's, DMT 15's and DMT 12's and absolutely love them, the imaging I feel is second to none. I go back and forth between them my CW's and RF 83's. As it is right now I prefer the Tannoys over the CW's,but that could be because the CW's are 38 years old and still running stock crossovers.

I have noticed that some of you that built your cornscala's have used more bracing than the original cornwalls. My question is, does all that bracing mean that you have to make the cabinet a little bit bigger to maintain the same amount of free space. It seems to me when you use all the extra bracing that it reduces the total air volume in the cabinet, or am I way off base?

I am looking at finally making some cornscala's and was wondering what wire and where you purchase it for the internals?

The thing I like about the iPod is the fact that I can plug it into my Wadia 170i and play uncompressed audio. Wadia, last I heard is the only company that Apple has allowed to offer a product to bypass the built in DAC. I route it to a highly modified PS Audio DAC and I have audiophile quality music all day. The thing I like the most is that I have a Ipod for every genre I like and one that is a mixture. I plug it in and listen to music for hours and hours without having to mess with anything.

I love to mountain bike. I have been fortunate enough to live in places where mtn. biking is stellar, here in the black hills it is as good as it gets. When I get done riding and taking a shower, I put on some tunes, what a great way to relax and dwell on the ride I just finished.

I just have a few ipods (16gig and 60 gig's) and I just DL my CD's in lossless and then play them through the Wadia 170i. I was thinking of buying a mucis server, but this seems to work great for me, and not into it as much dollar wise.

Thugs?, hardly, I am more concerned about the idiots in California.

The 19's, for some reason have always been my dream speaker. I heard them when I was a teenager and they always stuck with me. I had a pair of model 14's and really liked them as well.

I was just wondering if any one who ordered them have yet to receive them. Our local klipsch dealer will only special order them, so I wont have the opportunity to demo them.

I'll take your model 19's then

I have two of the 880's and the first one I purchased is starting to do that. Logitech sent me the second one becuase the baseplate of the first one was acting up and the backorder on the baseplates was so long they just sent me a new one. I was able to get the original baseplate to work (wouldn't charge the remote) so now I have the two of them.

Don't concern yourself with others criticism. I bought my rf-83's from a forum member in 07 and love them. Right now they are hooked up to Craig's VRD's, a C220, MCD-201, Wadia 170I, and a PS Audio DLIII with all the McCullen mod's and the system rock's!! I will hang on to the 83's for a long, long time, so sit back, pour a good scotch or whatever floats yer boat and enjoy the music!!

I have had my VRD's now for close to 5 years, maybe a bit more I'm not sure. I have run the stock Valve Arts that Craig puts in them and then a quad of Genalex gold lion kt88's, reissue of course. So for you VRD guys out there, do you have a favorite tube other than these 2? Even if you don't have VRD's feel free to chime in.

Thanks a bunch, just what I was looking for. Sam

For the life of me I can't figure out how to post pictures, can anyone please help me.

I buy CD's, upload them to iTunes via applelossless, then put them on my iPod. After that I put the iPod into my Wadia 170i. Then output the wadia into a PSaudio DLIII (stage IV mod by cullen) and into my C220 and it sounds absolutely wonderful. I get to listen to music all day long without having to change CD's, and my CD's don't get used all that much. I have an iPod for each genre, one for classical, rock, and then one for alternative. So whatever my mood I just put that corresponding iPod in and I am as happy as a clam. Sam

We are getting ready to move and the house is going too small for my cornwalls or any Heritage. I was just curious if any of you are running tubes and reference series, if so how do you like it. It seems the vast majority run heritage with tubes and it's all I have used as well. I was considering another pair of rf 83's or rf 7's. Thuoughts please.

Hey Fish, I can't remember if you are the one I bought them from. I have had them for a couple of years now. I live in Lewiston Id., soon to be Rapid City SD. Anyway if it is you, I should let you know that I love them and they will be with me for quite a long time.

JC, I bought the fastrac's with the intention of building cornscala's, but once I looked at the DBB I knew that was the route I wanted to go. I was going to buy some Tannoy DMT 215's, but they just have too big a footprint and this works perfect for me.
