I think all K-48 -E in Chorus 1 and 2's are 4 ohms . K-48-K is 8 ohms.

I went from a C7 to a HII to KP301 to Cornwall II center.I should have went with the Cornwall II from the start,but noooo now I am just like everybody here on the form,I have speakers everywhere.Garage,bedrooms,some just sitting.What I am trying to say is go with the Cornwall III or join the rest of us !!!! LOL

I like it !!!!! You did a very good job

The UMC-1 is just too complicated for some users. It is not a plug and play. I read all the bad press on the internet before I purchased. How much of it are people who never owned a UMC-1. How many that where self inflected. And just like on this form how one Klipsch speaker is better than another Klipsch speaker ??? I am sure some user really had issues,but really how many.I am not one. So this is what I see good or bad a lot of passion either way, EMO is all over the Internet ,a lot to be said about that . Ok I am just rambling now .And no I am not trying to convert anybody.I just look a things a little differently then others.

This prepro will not be for everyone. If it is like their other products it will aimed at those more concerned with overall audio performance. Fish , +1

Little remote is what came with the UMC-1 at first, then cam the aluminum remote. Or what I call the Home defense remote. Anyway one of the old updates canceled the plastic remote ,and so now it dose not work with the UMC-1. Plastic remote if I remember was turning other gear on and off ,up and down are something like that, I don't know mine was fine. Sometime I think I have a deferent UMC-1 then everyone else, just not having the problems I read about. Could be because I do my updates with a strip down laptop. Are maybe not.

I just wont to welcome a Cornwall II guy to the form. I myself have no advice on staining, see I took the easy (lazy) way and painted them Black. I am sure some one here can help you Sir.

Big +1 forgot to quote sorry about that

Big + 1 !!!!!

Dude I think they look really good. The rock hearth would be a little hard to lower.LOL

Sure they are collectible! You will find many of us here (albeit some collections are smaller than others). Valuable? They are to me. As far as my time and money... 20 bucks of plywood and a couple cuts on the table saw isn't a big deal. A stiffer back might help as well. As far as cutting into a 40 year old speaker cabinet I am not going to go into that lightly. If it is a beater in tough shape that is one thing but most of my equipment is in very nice condition and I consider myself to be a caretaker of speakers that I hope out live me. I will be receiving my Fastracs from Gothover soon and they will reside on top of the Corns for now. Later, I might rebuild some some cornwall wreck or build from scratch. The 67's will go back to their original configuration. Funny thing about restoring or building this kind of stuff... my labor is just for fun because I never see a dime for it. Muel, T.H.E. Droid: makes a good point. Sales on used Cornwall dropped so bad that Klipsch brought it back. LOL

You are very welcome.

Patrick Go here get number and call them. Critesspeakers.com Customer support was correct but you should at the same time recap the Xover.He will get you square away

Well they are giving them out again,did not know that.Sorry about that cviper *Includes processor upgrade certificate and 5-year warranty. 30-day in-home trial period is unavailable for clearance products. While supplies last.

cviper At one time when you purchase the UMC-1 you also received a discount card. Maybe a year or so ago.

What is a per order ,really ! And no I am not on pre order list. But I do have 40% off card.

Hey Fish did you check out the pod cast. Did it hit the mark and then some for you.

Well not on the per order list,but do have 40% off card. It will be mine!!!!!! But I do have a UMC-1 to enjoy for now. I am so glad I found EMO

If its not the ADT

( Emotiva Amplifier Troubleshooting ) under Amplifiers over at Emotiva site. Good place to start

I think I would start with a re cap of the x-overs given the age of your speakers.If you haven't already.Not hard to do with BIG results.18 to 20 years,their done.Caps degrade so slowly you don't realize it until you change them. Cool thing about your setup you don't need a huge amp,but not saying bigger is bad.

Have you looked at http://www.critesspeakers.com/ for ideas.

(I do not have the space to fit a CW1 as a center channel) You know thats what I said.Anyway go into the Garage Sale section of the form and use the words WTB ( Wont to buy ),you my come up with one are the other.Fair price,man I dont know. Used Klipsch prices seem to be all over the place these days.Some times it can be a long hunt.Hey would a HERESY on its side still be to big ?

Well what ever you do dont try a CW1 for a center.If you do it will drive you crazy trying to make it fit. Joking aside I have a C7 and a Heresy II .A friend let me use his Academy for about 3 weeks.They all sounded very good.This is my ears,for me it was . 1.Heresy II ( for you it would be a HI) 2. C7 and last Academy. What happen is I built a second set of CW 2 and and set one up for a center just to see how much better it would sound .Now my son has the C7 and the Heresy II are in the bed room. So like I said dont do it (CW1) it will make you change your hole set up LOL.
