Poorhouse

Both sets of speakers cutting in and out. The Cornwalls do it more though which seems odd. The tech I plan on using confirmed the consensus here that the amps need cleaning/service. Now I'm debating which to send in for service, Yamaha CR2020 or Pioneer SX1250. I think I will go ahead and get the Crites crossovers. When I bought the Cornwalls a few months ago I posted them up here. It was recommended to replace the crossovers due to age (30 years). The Crites website says the same thing.

Thanks I'll give that a try.

Don't have another amp. I do have another set of speakers though. I've had the spare set playing for the last couple hours, no cutting out.

Both issues. Ususally one speaker only will cut out, but today both have been cutting out. Taking the volume to 0 then back up will sometimes bring them back on, or taking the balance back and forth, or hitting mute.

I have a pair of 1981 Cornwalls with all original parts, including the B2 crossover. I am getting occasional speaker cut out at very low volume. Researching this it appears the problem is due to the crossover being worn out. I plan to replace the original crossovers with Crites replacements. Want to confirm I am on the right track before dropping $200. Thanks

No nuts or caps on the uppers? Makes me wonder if I have them hooked up properly. I have speaker wire connected to the lower screws, basically the screws are tightened down onto the wire. There is some red coloring to indicate positive. You can just see the red on the upper right washer.

Have really been enjoying these. Here's a pic next to the HPM 100 they are replacing. Wondering if I'm missing something here:

Brought them home today. Seller had got them from his boss 3 years ago and never used them, didn't know what they were outside of "klipsch" and that they were big. I was really surprised after seeing those couple photos how clean they are. Walnut is in very nice shape, not all dried out, very minimal scratches or knicks, grills are really clean. SN# 29W509 & 29W510 Looks like they were built early 1981 based on the info from Bob Crites site. Now to make room and get them hooked up.

Thanks for the info and welcome. The seller thought the woofers were 12", they started looking funny to me after that. Hoping to look at them tomorrow.

I'm in the market for speakers and found these semi-locally. No SS numbers or labels on the backs. Seller doesn't know what they are. They look like Cornwalls but the woofers look off to me. Dimensions are listed as 37.5 X 25 X 15.5. Are these Cornwall? Any idea of age range? Woofers look right? Anything else I should check out?
