    THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR FOR KLIPSCH SPEAKERS, THEY MADE THEIR DEBUT AT THE WORLDS FAIR IN 1959.
    BELLA KLIPSCH WAS HIS WIFES FIRST NAME AND CORNWALL MEANT USED IN CORNER OR ALONG WALL, THESE MARKINGS ARE FOUND ON THE BACK.
    THIS SET WAS THE 174TH AND 175TH SPEAKERS MADE THAT YEAR.
    IN 1961 KLIPSCH INTRODUCED JENSEN HORNS IN THEIR SPEAKERS, FOR ONLY 2 YEARS THESE WERE MADE.
    CWO 15 ON BACK MEANS CHERRY WOOD OILED, 15 INCH WOOFER, FABRIC ON FRONT IS GREAT CONDITION AND BOTH BRAND STICKERS ON BOTH.
    CABINET WOOD SHOWS WEAR , BUT ALL ELSE IS MINT!!
    THE SOUND QUALITY AND CLARITY IS PERFECT, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICS OF THE MECHANICS INSIDE !!
    THESE SPEAKERS WEIGH ABOUT 75LBS EACH

    HOLY SHITBALLS! Cleaning up my old Klipsch SA-3s from the deck and wanted some music. Had these CF3s (V3) stored for over a year  in the workshop. Never hooked them up to a decent amp and played them as mains so put them in the middle room, used a Marantz 2240 that was on the shelf and a Sony SACD player set to 2 channel. Popped in Chucho Valdes Bele Bele en La Habana and now I understand. I may like them better than the LaScalas. Going to be spending more time in the workshop, scaring the cat.

    RSW-15 DIED, CIRCA 2003. Followed forum advice and emailed Edwards Electronics. They now require prepayment of $250 plus $16 return shipping, then they send instructions for disassembly and shipping. Paid and shipped yesterday, FedEx ground.  Will post follow up.

    ”Don't write me and trash the finish on the speakers, they are 50 years old.. A unfinished plywood Klipsch cabinet use to cost a small fortune.. If you aren't capable of putting some tung oil on these you don't deserve them..I will do it myself if I am ever where I have these stored again or I find someone with time on their hands..”
