[Help in Long Island, NY]

Anyone?

[Anyone in Long Island?]

Hey, I sure could use some help from a forum member in Long Island. I am interested in the following parts, but the seller won't ship.

If the price stays low they would make for a great DIY CF 3.

Obviously I will pay your expenses and can offer you a few bucks.

Thanks, Chip

[Forte Box]

I have been looking for a pair of abused Fortes to buy cheaply and rebuild. I can't find any so I am thinking about building the box from scratch. I talked to Mr Crites and I can get all new parts (with the exception of passives, I believe) from him. Does anyone have a build diagram of the Fortr 1?

If this question is inappropriate for proprietorial reasons, I apologize and please ignore.

Otherwise, thanks for the help.

[Cornwalls F/S on ebay]

What would be a good price for these? I am just curious because there are a couple pair of Cornwalls for sale locally and I want to get a feel.

Thanks,

[Help with delivery from Long Island]

There's a guy on Long Island parting out his CF 3's. I am very interested, but he won't ship. I was wondering if I might ask for some help from a forum member. I would need someone to pick them up, pack them safely for shipping, and send them. I would be willing to throw in a Happy Meal for you troubles .

[Wishful thinking...but let's watch this]

Now this looks like a deal. The guy said he will take $400. I am struggling to justify a 5 hour round trip.

[CF4 $600]

I actually went to look at these. They are in really rough shape and they weren't hooked up so there was no way to audition them. If you plan to go see them, ask for more pictures before you go. They are located about 15 minutes east of Kalamazoo, MI. BTW, I offered him $400 and he said no. He texted me that he would take $500, but that seemed a bit risky since I couldn't hear them.

There's a guy over on the Emotiva site selling their small integrated. No affiliation.

Hey Frank,

Welcome to the Forum. It's probably best to make offers through a PM.

[Cornwall Question]

Here are the numbers engraved in he back of the cabinets:

12R360 & 10P154

Does that tell you anything?

[Cornwall Question]

Thanks for all the help. There are enough red flags that I think I am going to pass. I am just too ignorant of these to make a good decision.

Thanks again, Chip

[Small 2 Channel Integrated Amp for Computer]

You might want to check out the W4S MiNT. It's a class d integrated with a nice dac.

[Cornwall Question]

So you think 2 different years?

[Cornwall Question]

Thanks. He said he thought they were from 75 so that makes sense. He said he didn't move the tweeter, he made one stand a tad higher so the tweeters would both be at ear height.

[Cornwall Question]

The following ad is on a local CL. I was hoping to get the thoughts of those more informed on Corwalls. It is apparently b stock and the tweeters are slightly misaligned. He compensated by building appropriate size stands.

Really hope to hear any opinions on these.

[Customizing Fortes Exteriors]

That gives me a thought. If I built a box with exactly the same internal dimensions as a Forte, and bought new drivers, passive and crossovers from Bob Crites, would I get the same sound as the Fortes?

[Customizing Fortes Exteriors]

Notice how this guy recessed the wood. I was thinking about something like this on the front of the Fortes. Again, my concern is that it doesn't mess with the sonic signature. Thanks for the input.

[Customizing Fortes Exteriors]

I have been thinking about building wraparound hardwood cases for my Fortes. Obviously this would be only for the sides and tops. Would this have any impact on their sound?

[Klipsch Home Theatre System by Mondo???]

I saw these, too. I wondered about their origin.
