Thanks for the help and suggestions I updated my original post. Please refer to it Thanks for reading it and for any more suggestions that you have Don Bushell, Auburn WA

UPDATE Hello and Thanks for responding for my call for help last week. I did indeed engage Bob Crites and procured and installed new crossovers and new tweeters in my wonderful, mega-bad-***, Klipsch Cornwalls. They sound mighty good. I wonder if Bob C's tweeter are as good as the original Cornwall tweeters. I did ask "the man" on the phone and he said that the tweeters would sound a tad different. I am very happy with his product so far and it has only been 2 days. The "acid test" was playing very loudly the following song. Lady Gaga latest LP and the track name is "Bloody Mary". Crank this tune on the Cornwalls and you will be impressed with the performance!!!!. The bass definitely pounds and there are very good vocals here. This board helped me a great deal. Eight days after I posted a message on this board, my Cornwalls were fixed for a total of $350 Thanks. Don Bushell, Auburn, WA, which is south of Seattle by 30 miles. Does anyone near me own Cornwalls? UPDATE Thank you for assisting me. You gave me the motivation to dig into the speakers. I tightened the screws on the crossovers as was suggested. I hoped this would do the trick, but there was no change in the sound. So I tried hooking up the speaker wire directly to the tweeter, and I got good sound! I then "rigged it" to send the speaker signal straight to the tweeter, midrange and woofer, bypassing the crossover altogether. "No crossover sound" sounds really good at low volumes. And this is a monumental improvement over what the speakers were sounding like. So, for the short term, I am a happy camper. But when I "crank the volume" it does not sound very good, so I will get new crossovers as soon as possible. Any suggestions? Bob Crites? One of the tweeters is "out'. No sound whatsoever. Should I get a new tweeter or rebuild what I have?" Thank you for helping me. I love my Klipsch speakers. ========================================================= My Cornwalls were purchased in 1979 at Jerry's Audio in Tucson, AZ, from a good friend, Dave Carter, who managed the business. They were an excellent investment indeed. About 10 years ago, one of the speakers started sounding flat and I thought one of the tweeters was bad. However the other speaker kept sounding good so the pair was still sounding good. However, about 5 years ago, the "good Cornwall" would go flat about once a week. I could wake it up out of its stupor by momentarily jacking up the volume, and the cobwebs would clear and the speaker would sound good again. Except now, I cannot get that speaker to respond to the power spikes, and now both speakers sound like garbage. I do not believe that a blown tweeter is the problem because the bass is lacking punch. I am thinking that whatever is feeding the tweeter, midrange, and bass, is feeding garbage to these components. I am hoping someone one this board could tell me what parts to buy in order to refurbish the speakers. Thank you Don B. Auburn, WA
