I have two Cornwall Vertical speakers for sale. Sorry for the lousy photos but it's the best I can do for now. They both work well and sound great. New caps on the original Crossovers. Asking $800.00 for the pair. Local Pick in Tucson Only. Thanks

Khorn and Cornwalls cause those are the only ones I own in Klipsch.

Unfortunately that is true and that is life. I have most if not all of his CD's and albums. My favorite is still Hubert Sumlin's Blues party. Great on vinyl and excellent on CD. BTW, I recently saw TajMo' (Taj Mahal & Ket Mo) Here in Tucson, small venue. Was pretty good.

Maybe I missed it but, no love for Hubert Sumlin?

I am interested in a clean McIntosh MC225 all original and in Excellent condition only +/- $$ trade in equipment would be great. Tubes not necessary but would be welcome. No Russian or Chinese tubes please. For possible trade I have a set of MC30's, brought up to specs by the Audio Doctor in Phoenix and the same for all but the Fisher unit. Invoices would be available. Also have MC300 w/ MX132 A/V both units in Mint condition with boxes, MC240 and (2) Fisher 500C and (1) Fisher 500b. Also would consider my MX110Z recently serviced and up to spec except (Audio Doctor) the FM, also in excellent condition. I don't use the radio so didn't bother with that although it works well. This is a long shot I know but.. I'm in Tucson AZ. and would prefer a hand off so nothing gets damaged in shipping. Please PM if interested.

"Bottom line, I suggest owning both the MC30s and an Inspire amp. And then get an MC225 … " I can see that happening in the foreseeable future. Always wanted to check out the MC225. If one comes along at a fair price, I will be doing that as well. BTW, Impressive collection of gear you have.

I'm not familiar with the MC202 is that a SS amp? Beside the MC30's I also have MC240's as well as the MC300 which is SS with Autoformers. The sound from the SS is different than the 30's etc. And may sound somewhat clinical comparing to tube amps but still very nice. So are you comparing the Inspire amp to your SS MC amp sound?

That comparison does help quite a bit, Thanks!

I have been reading this thread with great interest. Can anyone give me an idea if Dennis Had’s amp would perform better than say, McIntosh MC30’s pair? I am using the reissue C22 pre amp and have Klipschorn Speakers. I would appreciate any input and am very interested in trying one of his amps if there is a discernible difference.

I second that! I have only had my 1982 Klipschorns for a little over 2 years and have been to several "High End" Audio shops in Phoenix etc. over that same time and have heard $80,000 speakers with mega Mc gear, when we get home and turn on our simple/humble MC30's, C22 reissue and the Klipschorns, there is nothing we are missing...Matter of fact it sounds better that what we heard. Just my ears & opinion.

McIntosh C22 reissue & MX110Z

I have had my Klipschorns for roughly a year now and so far they have been great. I only replaced the old Crossovers with Bob Crites new crossovers, not just the caps. The improvement of sound was ear opening at the time. But I am wondering, since you are obviously are a HUGE Klipsch fan, what upgrades did you perform on the Khorns & what improvements did you hear? I am curious to see if it's worth the $$. Thanks for you time.

I have the California Audio Labs Sigma and Delta combo, the DAC has tubes and so far I have not heard anything better in CD players. Sometimes eerily close to analog sound. Some of my other gear is McIntosh MC30's, MC240's, MC300, C22 III, MX110Z and Klipschorns...

Yes it does.

Mine are 1982's, consecutive serial numbers and also have the soldered dual plug version. I would keep them original. They sound great!

I would welcome a call from Klipsch, especially if I can't find the needle in the haystack Cornwall #1 or #3. I know, i'm dreaming.

Thanks for the feedback.

Is this the second speaker off the line in 1959 the start of Cornwall production? Or is this the one hundredth and 2? BTW, I am looking for a matching mate for this speaker. Thanks

Is this still available? If this #112 is the 12th speaker made, then Did the Klipsch Cornwall serial numbers begin with #101 as the first unit? I'm confused. Or did they begin with 001...?

Anyone have experience with just an enclosure of the back of the Klipschorn for corner reproduced sound? or does that not work well? I have seen some on the net with plywood sealed backs. Any information and advise would be appreciated.

New to this site and forum. How do I move this post or does the moderator move it?

That guy is asking $2900.00 each. Must be something in the water over there.
