  1. Greatful Dead American Beauty DVD-A After hearing this (it was mixed by the Deads own Bob Weir) I started loking for old tie-dyes
  2. I picked mine up on E-bay in February Paid $860 I had been looking for a pair in oil oak (WAF) for the last two years The best thing was the seller lived less than 200 miles from from me and agreed to meet me halfway. no cost! Klipsch owners are a a different breed. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14993&item=3005263099

  7. Well I guess it is time to start putting my two cents worth. I feel like I've been lurking in this forum and not contributing I first heard the K-horn at my New England Hi Fi, PORTLAND MAINE, in mid 70 I would go there every day and hang out (my teen years) Bought a lot of equiptment in all these years Carver Scott Pioneer Marantz yamaha you know the drill. My best friend ( his dad was a lawyer) got a set of Cornwalls in 78 Man what a sound ..Vinyl. FF to 1984 get a great deal on a 1984 Cornwall with a HK integrated amp 75wpc $500 Cash & carry them home to my apartment use them for two years plenty of parties get evicted once but then go in to debt sell everything cheeeep. in 1986 buy my old Cornwalls back but Fall in love have kids buy a small house and STUPID ME SELL MY CORNWELLS IN 1991 TO THE FIRST CALLER (OF 68 DIFFERENT POTENTIAL BUYERS IN 3 DAYS SOLD AGGGGGGGGHHH MISTAKE #1 Next in 1994 I Bought a Pair of Quartets demos at the dealers played them for six months and then boughttraded up to a pair of Fortes II sounding like the Klipsch I know (you can say what you want about the Chorus I&II the truth is the Fortes' Bass is Leaner Crisper and Deeper, but that could be another post see I can fit in here real well. Ok but now on to MISTAKE # 2 I actually Traded UP??? to the Epic Series 4 Special ordered in Oak oil or medium oak whatever the Veneer was then. I packed up the Fortes in their original boxes and lugged them to the audio store(Cookin' remember them) Guys were standing around like it was a wake 3 salesman started calling their customers telling the what had just come in. Drove these home in a driving rainstorm lugged them into the house boy were these heavy set them up fired up the amp and uuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmm these sounded like **** worked and tweaked until 7 in the morning my wife cant believe this evev she thinks they sound like SSShht( not to say that she hated them from just looking at them) sometimes the wife does koow!Anyways was at the store waiting for them to open I wanted my Fortes back what was I thinking Ok well quite a few years have passedand in my insane mind I've thought plenty about trading my Fortes for anotherpair of Speakers, Klipsch only... Considered a pair of KLf 30's Bur again my wife God Bless Here talked me into keeping my Fortes. Well in february after watching E-Bay fro over 2 years i found myself a pair of Cornwall II in oil oak ( my WAF) Everything is in oil Oak. It was close enough CT. thast i could drive there to pick up. I'm happy with my purchase the speakers were in excellent condition. Thw kicker is that i havent found the proper equiptment or should i say iIknow the proper equiptment I just can't afford it yet. My Cornwalls arent where I want them to be yet but i know that all good things come to those who wait well the moral to the story is (what was this post about?) Oh yeah m00n remember experimenting is good, learning is good and yes WIVE'S are good and KLIPSCH IS GOOD . My wife's favorite quote "I never told you to sell those CORNWALLS"

    Thinking about these to match up with my Fortes anybody have any thoughts on this. looking to hear from somebody that owns this sub. I think the price may be a little too high, Opinions anyone? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3275&item=3020063141
  10. luchenbach I'm interested (in your extra Academy that is!) Sent you a E-mail
  11. I actually purchased the bucking magnets from Klipsch for around $20 apiece in 1995 attached them to my Forte II's (1994) used a good 2 part epoxy and a couple of clamps. This has worked very well for me have not noticed any change in the way they sound also eliminated the magnetic inteference on my direct view (tube) TV, As I remember the engineer at Klipsch was very helpful when I called.
  12. I also sold my Cornwalls (1982)in 1985 I bought them back and stupid me sold them again in 1990. I Bought a pair of Quartets in 1994, traded up to Fortes II in 1995. But as of Last week thanks to this auction on E-Bay {Item # 3005263099) I now own a pair of Cornwalls again. I'll be meeting the seller on Sunday to pick them up. I can't wait to hook these up and hear them. I thought the price was reasonable less than what I sold my previous pair for 13 years ago,and much less than the pair that just was auctioned on E-Bay for over $1300. My previous Cornwalls were black these are Oak Oil (wife factor) so It's a win win for me
  13. I am but I am really looking for a pair in oak oil (wife!!) What are theere finish
