I bought these with the intentions of building baby Cornwalls but, have decided not to start a new project right now. These have k-700 horns and type e crossovers. All original internals, I’d rate them 7-8 cosmetically, no water stains or busted corners. One side has a chip about the size of a pea, they look like they’ve been poly coated. Really want to sale but, would consider trades for either other vintage Klipsch (I can throw some cash in for the right trade) or integrated tube amp in excellent or restored condition( no projects😬) willing to meet within 50 miles of 30187, or I we can figure out shipping. I can accept PayPal friend payment. Thanks, Mark

Hey Ski Bum, I like those stands! But, that link is no good. What brand are they? Thanks,

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F273064216885 Good deal for somebody in the Southwest.

Ok, so mids are in route. Still need to decide on highs but, I've narrowed that down to just a few. Now is it only necessary to change the squaker to a B3 or do I need to completely change the crossover to a B3? Thanks jjptkd.

Just ran across a pair of k-61-k drivers and horns from a set of Forte II for a good price. Would it make sense to use these in the corns?

Thanks anyway Keith.

No, they just slide in. No threads.

I bought a pair of kg 5.2 and they have the plastic feet that slides off and then there is a spike for carpet. Problem is I’m missing one. I sent some on the auction site I may buy but the seller is in Wa and I’m in Ga. Don’t want to wait 2 weeks for the mail to deliver. Anybody got 1 laying around? thanks!

Hey guys! Sorry for delayed response, my mom is in the midst of a “C” battle. So I’m spending quite a bit of time at the hospital and traveling back and forth. I appreciate all your input, still undecided on exactly which way to go. I guess I’ll wait till they're in my possession before purchasing the parts so I know exactly what I’m starting with. As far as I know they are factory black/ebony, which means birch underneath...I think. I probably will look at stripping/sanding the down to bring some wood to the surface. Ryanm, I’m in west Georgia, looks like a bit of a drive from you, thanks for the offer tho. I do think I want a larger mid horn and might as well start with that. I’d like to keep the b2 networks but just refresh them. This could also be ignorance on my part. I’ve tried to look on fastlane audios website several times to get some ideas but, it seems to be crashed. Consitent I will research Roger Floth method, this is the first I’ve heard of this. Shew! Have I mentioned my head is spinning, lol. I know you all have been there a thousand times too. Thanks Gentlemen, Mark

Thanks Geoff. I do have the ti diaphragms in my fortes II and again fresh crossover recap on those too. I was so happy with the results that new caps for my forte i and Chorus II will be here today. I wanted to see how they sounded before doing the ti diaphragms in them just out of curiosity. I run everything on tubes, forte II are upstairs and running off an Eico HF-81. The others are in the basement and I switch them in and out running off a Bob Latino vta-70. Anyway...enough of about that. I do believe these have the square magnet but, I don’t have them in my hands just yet, plan to drive next state over to pick them up in the next few weeks. Just waiting for his schedule to free up. I wonder if I could simply change the value on the midrange cap to match with a larger horn? I still would love to build a cornscala d but, the internal parts for those are like 1200-1300$ yikes! Oh yea, and thanks for giving me another speaker to look at(Lascala) lol. I haven’t persuaded them because I’ve read that they really lack bass but, I’ve never heard those either. Thanks, Mark

Great.Actually I own forte I, Forte II and Chrous II. I’ve just rebuilt the crossovers in the forte II, used Jantzen superior caps on the mids...wow very happy with the results. I’ll give that some thought as I do like the sound of the tactrix mid now, not so much before the refresh. I’ll try to go back thru past posts to see what other guys have done. If anybody else wants to chime in, especially about any Cornscala experience please do. Thanks, Mark

Thanks for response. So since these are a gift I don’t plan on reselling them. I’ve been intrigued by the cornscalas but, I’ve never heard them and yea it would take quite a chunk of cash to build them. I could just freshen up the crossovers a bit and then throw some mids and highs in them. I really want these to rock but, I want to keep some kind of a budget in mind considering this is just 1 if many projects I have, 😁. On second thought I know that a larger mid horn upgrade would be great but, I’m not technical minded to know what crossover mods I’d have to do to make sound balanced. Decisions, decisions. Mark

I have a friend that is giving me a set of Cornwall 1, he has robbed the mid and highs out of them so I’ll be getting the cabinets, k33 woofers and the b2 crossovers. I’m looking for opinions on what I should do from here. Do I just put some oem Klipsch mid and highs in them. Do I use some upgrades from crites or fastrac or do I go off the rails and build some Corscalas out of them...maybe Ds? Also these are black birch so not as collectible and not as necessary to keep all original. I’d appreciate your opinions.Thanks,Mark

Where are these located?

Hey Js, wow I’d be all over these but, 6 hrs is a bit too far to drive. They shouldn’t last long.

Pm sent

Would you consider sending my contact info to the seller?

Are you a member of the group?

Are there any phone numbers listed? I don’t have Facebook so I can’t open the link.

Price drop to 450

No sorry, I could be tempted with a big Marantz, Sansui or Pioneer. Thanks.

Kinda holding out for some speakers but, what ss receiver do you have? Something BIG?

Bump

Yes he did. He is a great tech. Chris I see you have Cornwalls is that what you had the amp powering?

Flea powered single ended triode. Perfect for those hi efficient Klipsch. This was purchased from a lady whose husband had bought it as a kit but passed away before getting to it. I paid a professional tech in Atlanta to put it together. Its a very clean point 2 point zero feedback design. Has 2 v83 output tubes 1 6n1p input tube and 5y3gt rectifier. I ran it for less than an hour just to verify it was working as it should. This is literally brand new. $450 plus actual shipping cost. Also interested in trades for fortes ii chorus i, ii or higher in great condition, local trade within 50 miles of 30187. SOLD.
