HEY you want deep chest thumping bass you gotta cook your cables. Audiogon has lots of cable kookers if you need to read upon it.

When Form takes over Function. No price listed and I did not dig for one. I am in awe at how tasteless pursuit of a new look can become. I think there were things like this on the Queen Mary in LA.

How dumb is it to reply and not check dates?

I run my 12g zip cord supported by concrete floor stands from my amps to the Super MWM's or whatever is playing on any given day. I try not to allow them to loop over each other to much and have resisted the almost irresistable urge to cook them with an Audiogon Cable Cooker. I also find embedded floor grunge on the zip cord insulation reduces the propensity for magnetic field generation and have proven to my satisfaction dirty zip cord produces better audio. I prefer to use my TIG torch for soldering and believe if a little solder is good more is better. On a serious note here I find cables to be fraught with all kinds of snake oil. Simple zip cord works fine for the engineer types I know and does so without severe money loss. I buy 12g Monoprice zip cord made for speakers by the 100' roll when on sale and eliminate any potential for to small a conductor over runs of up to 30'.

Thanks Marvel

I suggest a cable, capacitor and finally crossover cooker for you Glenn. Your rational approach to this whole thing is tawdry.

I heard that the Holy Grail was to be sought but never to be found.

I'm with you John and solid state all the way. If I want to flavor my music I prefer to use the Xilica which also allows for other nice things to happen besides the tone of my music. I figure none of the commercial venues out there use tube amps and if I want a true to life replay of a concert why not use the type of amps they use. And yes I am not trolling either just discussing how I arrived at my choice.

Whatever.

Well you and I will have to agree to disagree. I think that as a center channel there must be fidelity just like the right and left and ALL are capable and designed to suit left, right or center. The idea that the Cornwall's sole real purpose is to sit between two KHorns and is not just as useful in stereo is kind of silly in my opinion.

EBay has parted ways with Paypal. EBay is starting other payment methods soon from Apple and Google and I have to think Paypal is getting to arrogant to deal with in some ways so EBay is allowing others in the door. I know that Paypal has recently stated that if you give a refund they will not refund their charges to the seller so the seller pays for nothing. In this case better to lose the Paypal fees charged than the whole thing since Paypal will side with the buyer over the seller and then you lose it all. Oh and still pay the fee for that too.

You block people who make offers like this before they can bid. In your case I would claim the item got broken and refund his money.

100% correct.

OK technically you are right but what's the point you are trying to make? The CW4 is a serious improvement of far greater import than anything else I have heard from Klipsch. Yes I would prefer them to stock Belles and can't reflect on altered Belles since I have never heard any. No I don't like the price tag but then I am a cheap skate who also loves to work on old boxes or build new which is not an option for most buyers. Quite frankly I was stunned at how musical these were and until now have always preferred the Chorus but no more. We heard the new Heresy, La Scala, Forte and Cornwall a few weeks ago in Hope. The La Scala was more efficient but the CW4 beat them all for accurate pleasing musical reproduction. If I was buying new I would save longer and get those tasty Jubes though.

Well you did say you could not find any info on schematics and I demonstrated how. Sorry it excited you so much and welcome to the forum.

Google is not your friend but for things like this it works. Type in "Klipsch Type AL Crossover" and you will find under images all you need. A simple search would have found your answers right away.

Yes but they look good at a customers house and not at mine anymore.

They had pretty significant damage. Much more than just minor damage because you cant fix MDF that has been well watered. I had a set a couple of years ago I could not get rid of. Finally scrapped them and the parts brought over $700. I figure I got lucky and never again. I didn't think much of them and can't figure out why they have such a good reputation.

so what is the difference between Cornwalls and a CP-1?

Ha Ha I have some Chinook audio that is pretty tasty with the Super MWM's.

The wonderful smell of burning rubber and that lovely ground pounding noise and the sheer unbridled demonstration of testosterone would be enough for me. The bugging out of eyeballs would be another plus. Asuming one had the money to do this as that guy has a lot tied up in that monster. Better than Wilson speakers or fru fru B&W's for true to life live sound kind of like what Klipsch is known for. My neighbors on the other hand don't live so close but they know I am around when the Tanerite goes off.

That MDF horn ALK sells was my inspiration.

If you are asking about my Walnut Forte II yes. The KP-301 is gone.

No I have not since I never expect to build it. I did however post the drawings here for anyone who wants to. I require something much more substantial than a La Scala and ended up with the Super MWM
