I'm in the Dallas area and would love to attend a gathering.

Thank you! This site should be required reading for all that are satisfied (or prefer) modern remasterings. I cannot agree with the folks on this thread that feel that modern CDs sound better than ones recently issued. The majority of CDs issued from 1983-1990 were 'flat' transfers of tapes, sometimes the actual master copies were used. Starting in the mid-1990s, more master tapes were being used to compile these reissues, however, the mastering engineers started the unexcusable procedure of maximizing and clipping the signal for the sake of "loudness" and "punch". No thanks! I'll take a smoother, more quiet version any day of the week.

Corns rule!! Now if only I could track down some ALK crossovers for them at a decent price.

Thanks Michael. Yeah, I can see the staples. I got some replicas from Tom Mobley, but I thought they just didn't look "right" after I painted them in gold leaf. So, I splurged and got some genuine ones via ebay. Yes, I found my Watco too at Lowes. That stuff works great! Shiny, but not too shiny. Doesn't really do anything for nicks or scratches, but the wood looks great.

One more question regarding the emblem placement: Are they supposed to be both on the upper right hand corner of the grill? I've seen some that are mirror image placement on opposite sides. edit to include pic in case anyone wanted a better shot of what they look like. Probably have about 8 coats of watco on them. Still tiny marks on the top, you can't see them in a photo, so not technically flawless but still pretty nice.

Cornwalls sold! Thanks all [H]

OK, I think I got (and responded to) everyone's PMs and emails. All interested in Corns or AR3a's feel free to email me directly:beatcrazy AT gmail DOT com

[] Would consider it, but I got speakers coming out my ears! Gotta nice pair of AR-3a's I need to sell too. Will let these run here until this evening, then off to the wolves on Craigslist!!

Sure thing. It's a bit tough to get flaws to show up in pics, but here goes. Overall, they're very respectable, a good sanding would take them to the next level. Heck, a single Corn recently went for $510 on ebay, these puppies should be priced right! []

Hi all, Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in, but here goes: I'm offering up my '79 Corns here first for my Klipsch buds before messing with ebay/Craigslist. The serial numbers are 20T582 and 20T583. Their condition is decent, with cabinets showing some scrapes, marks and a few minor chips. All drivers, electronics are orginal, and they sound fantastic. They were originally raw birch, but have had a laquer of some sort applied (very nicely), giving them a nice honey color. I'm only selling because I have another pair of Corns in walnut, so these must go. I'm in Carrollton, buyer must pick up as I have no means to transport them. Price: $600

The grain is indeed very beautiful! Is the finish a laquer, or oiled?

Can I ask again, what is the finish on those nice CWIIIs?

Thanks for sharing the pics from the factory, I'm green with envy! Is the finish Walnut Oiled or Walnut Laquer?
