Or you can just buy and install a commercial grade duplex 20 amp receptacle. They're under $5 and they have stronger springs and probably more contact surface than a 15 amp model.
I installed one on the outlet that powers the subwoofer and the two power amps, and a second one on the outlet that powers the AVR and the rest of the gear. They were on two separate circuits, so I had to run a grounding wire between both power amps and the AVR to get rid of a 60 Hz hum. That's a minor detail that applies to any system that is plugged into more than one circuit.
My electrician buddy noticed one of the receptacles and commented that it violates code, but I'm not drawing enough power to tax the 15 amp circuits, never mind 20 amps. If I ever sell this place, I'll just re-install the original 15 amp receptacles, so the new owner doesn't plug in something that would overload the circuits.
For me, I just like the improved connection. It's one more (or two in this case) weak link in the system eliminated. The sockets grip plug blades so tightly that if you push too hard, the receptacle mounting tabs bend a bit and the receptacle starts to move into the wall. Luckily, there's a nearby 15 amp receptacle for when it's time to plug in the vacuum cleaner, so the 20 amp outlets are used for the sound system alone.
They look like this: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-20-Amp-Commercial-Duplex-Power-Outlet-White-R62-CBR20-00W/202066702
I don't mean to nitpick, but if you are looking for commercial grade quality and to stay within code, you can get one of these or similar, in 15A:
A few bucks cheaper and no worries about someone thinking it is actually a 20A capable circuit/outlet.

Nice! Would love to find some RF-83s nearby.

File compression and compression in audio are not the same thing at all. A compressed file is restored in its complete form. I assume that is what online backup sites do... merely compress the files to save space on their servers.
True audio compression (dynamic range) and data compression are not the same. Only lossless data compression restores to complete form, mp3 the common audio data compression format is not lossless. The easy way to verify that no data has been lost in data compression or transmission is to do a checksum comparison, you can use md5 or sfv to compare the original file to the restored file, if the checksums are the same then no data has been lost, if they are different then the two files are not duplicates and some data has been lost or modified.

Fwiw, I bought a pair for about half the price in much better shape about a month ago.

I would have bid more but internet connection at work is slow, still undecided on cane. My cornwalls are cane in bad need of repair/replacement, right now they sit behind the speaker.

Straight lines are more appealing to some folks...picture 3 looks like it is sitting next to a second pair of la scalas...

Got away from me, oh well.

Not to derail too much but- I use Ashly XR1001 often, very nice crossover. I also use the DBX DriveRack family of active crossovers, also very nice and adds the ability to delay the outputs, and can save settings, which can make tweaking variables easier.

Pictures showing how severe the blemishes are may help your sale, and pictures also increase lust for such nice speakers. GLWS -spud77

Agreed I do not see anything that is similar to any of the KPT speakers I have owned. Looks like a Lascala-inspired top and a standard pa sub bottom in a combined cabinet.

No deal, he never called back, sent an email a few minutes ago saying they sold.
-
Great score referencehead, going to keep or flip them?
-
I called and left a message, hope to check them out tomorrow morning.
-
Thanks again Istari. Very nice to meet you and good luck with your move.

PM sent

I called and the nice woman said they are already gone.

They do look like Cornwall II and, the serial number would confirm the timeframe of a II, IIRC.
-
For $40 I would love to see pics of them. They might not be in that bad of shape.
For fourty bucks I'd be on my way and calling the seller from the road, were I within fifty miles.
Same here, I got my Heresy II from a kid who had rough cabinets, but all the drivers are great, well worth the effort to check them out.
Another thanks to Opus2k9 for pointing out that they were in fact Heresy speakers.

My first RW-12d arrived today, perforations in the box on most sides and cracked styrofoam on top, one of the added cardboard corner stabilizer pieceswas buckled but no apparent damage to the subwoofer itself. Will plug it in later to test the amplifier and speaker.

Thanks for the heads up.
It's back at newegg for 299
