Hey Tom, Those speakers look slightly familiar......man, you sure are one lucky guy!!! I miss them already!! Seriously though, it's great to know they are being played and appreciated. I wish you many, many hours of enjoyment. I am working on getting some "tunes" back into my life again. You and Mike really inspired me!! Post more pics as you progress, it's interesting to see the evolution of your system. Regards, Barry (gpstrackman

Hello to all! I want to update the status of my previous Forum posts, which advertised my Cornwalls for sale. They are not for sale any longer...THEY ARE SOLD!! They have a great new home with a fellow Klipsch lover, who will use them well, and enjoy their incredible sound. Thanks to all of you who expressed interest, and corresponded with me. I hope everyone who has Klipsch products for sale will find a great buyer like I did. gpstrackman

Hi Mike! Incredible!! It's a small world isn't it??!! I am sending you a reply via private message. Look for it in a few minutes. gpstrackman

Tom, I received your message, and sent you an immediate reply. Please check your messages, it should be there by now. Sorry for the confusion. Track

I have received several replies regarding the pair of Cornwalls I have for sale. There have also been some questions which I will try to answer to clarify their description: The finish is walnut. The grille cloth is a black weave (original). The components are all original. The horns are vertically mounted. The speakers are a mirrored matched pair, as originally purchased, with the Klipsch emblems indicating their physical orientation. This permitted the owner to "reverse" the speakers if they were to be used in a horizontal, rather than vertical configuration. The speakers are housed in heavy-duty reinforced plywood shipping crates. I believe I still have the original product literature which was published by Klipsch at that time. The speakers were always powered by McIntosh electronics, and were NEVER abused! They were always (and still are) kept within climate/temperature controlled environments (homes). I am located in Oviedo Florida, just outside of Orlando. I am asking $1,000 for the pair of Cornwalls...the purchaser to be responsible for shipping, pick-up, etc. I welcome any questions and/or dialog, either through this forum, via e-mail, or private message. Thanks to all who have responded thus far, I hope this answers some of your asked and unasked questions. Regards to all! gpstrackman

Steve, I am afraid even the Heresey's are not going to work...unless you have a pair about 6 inches square..that would make them extremely heretical!!! Seriously, I appreciate the thought, I would rather have any Klipsch speaker system, than no Klipsch speakers at all! I owned a pair of Heresy speakers before I bought the Cornwalls...I loved them!! I should never have parted with them either!! I would appreciate discussing the opportunities of your purchase at greater length. Please reply when possible. gpstracman

Tom, I have definitely NOT disappeared!! I have been tied up for the last two days, and unable to check the forum. I appreciate your interest very much, and your offer as well. I have not determined what monetary value I place on my Cornwalls, as I have really not attempted to sell them until now. If truth be known, I hate the thought of selling them, as I cherish them greatly, even though I cannot use them any more. They represent past times when I enjoyed listening to music for hours (without listener fatigue, naturally!), times when I considered myself an audiophile, and knew almost everything there was to know about all existing audio equipment. Unfortunately, those times seem to have passed, and I am a neophite in the audio world once again. I would welcome additional dialog regarding your offer. I also wish to thank the other respondents for their interest as well. gpstrackmanText

Greetings from a newbie Klipsch lover! I have enjoyed reading the BB postings very much, and I am saddened that so many people are enjoying thier Klipsch speakers and I am not. I purchased a pair of Cornwalls from Paul W. himself in 1971, and listened to them constantly until 1988 when I relocated from New England to Florida. I built custom shipping cases for them and since the move I have never uncrated them. I do not have room for them in my present home, and my wife wants "inconspicuous " audio. I sold my Macintosh electronics several years ago, and no longer listen to music other than the car CD player. I hate the thought of parting with them, but they are going to waste, and probably will never be uncrated. They are in prime condition, with oiled walnut finish, and the original black grille cloth. All the drivers are original: CTS woofer, and EV midrange & tweeter, as well as the original crossovers. They have never been damaged or overpowered (almost never deflected the VU meters on my Mac), and they have always been inside a climate controlled environment (homes & apts.). I would love to see them go to someone who would appreciate them and use them. If anyone knows someone who might be interested in purchasing them from me, I would appreciate a reply. Thanks! gpstrackman This message has been edited by gpstrackman on 07-22-2001 at 12:28 AM
