I think a pair. Look at the front wood pattern, there are two different speakers shown.

Here's one that really WILL be waiting a while at this price: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://orlando.craigslist.org/ele/d/klipsch-la-scala-loudspeakers/6694887159.html Klipsch La Scala Loudspeakers (pair) - $5000 (Longwood) These are my personal speakers that I bought new. I am having to part with them due to downsizing only. If you want the finest in stereo surround sound, these speakers are the ultimate in beauty and sound. Nothing sounds anywhere near this good. If you are not serious about owning the best, please move along. CASH ONLY -- NO SHIPPING -- PICK UP ONLY

This is funny to me. My parents owned an antique shop back in the '80's and '90's, and oak was all anyone wanted. Mahogany went cheap, if it went at all. These things go in cycles, and it's interesting to watch it swing back and forth.

Ah, didn't catch that one. Thanks for the heads up!

Estate Fresh. The owner of these speakers was a lifelong "tinkerer" and audio enthusiast. These speakers were stored in a dedicated listening room for all their life. They have very early serial numbers of 1156 and 1337. Each speaker measures approximately 52" tall, 32" wide, 13" along parallel sides of pentagonal tops, and 29" from the apex of the back corner to the middle front. There are some blemishes/scratches to the wood veneer in a few places. See the last photo for a close-up of the worst damage. The description of each speaker follows: Klipschorn Corner Horn Speaker - Serial No. 1156: Dated Nov. 30, 1956. Loaded with aluminum squawker horn with a K55 Mid, a K77 Tweeter, a K500-5000 crossover, and a Stephens Tru-sonic 103LX2 Woofer. Works well. Klipschorn Mid Range Horn Speaker - Serial No. 1337: Dated May 14, 1957. Loaded with a K5 squawker with a University SAHF Mid, a University 4401 Tweeter, and a type 1RC crossover variant. The cabinet type is not clear on this speaker, and may be a kit or DIY. The woofer on this speaker will need to be replaced or re-coned. It looks to be a later model woofer, and the surround has been damaged. See 11th photo for close-up. Works. NOTE: There is also an extra roll of material for the speaker covers. PAYMENT: I will accept Paypal for these speakers, but would prefer cash payment upon pick-up. SHIPPING: NO SHIPPING. Local pick-up ONLY in Havre de Grace, Maryland.

I see JBL logos on the rolling cases, who knows what all is in the sale??? https://www.auctionzip.com/Listings/3144737.html?email=726f6e636c61726b333240686f746d61696c2e636f6d&utm_source=house&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=targetedexclusive&utm_content=cas091818

That's true about the monitor size. I work from home and have 8 different companies as clients, so I have a *lot* of windows open at one time. This set of speakers will be working 10 - 12 hours a day except for meetings. They are right at 1 meter from my head when setting at my desk, and the Super Heresy© are at the same distance behind me. Fantastic sound stage and SPL. @ClaudeJ1 does some amazing work! I hope to be able to pick up some Cornwalls for his next upgrade project. I wonder if I could sneak them in as the master bedroom speakers? I have a pair of KG4's in there right now, so if I can find some Cornwalls in oak... I will tell the misses that the KG's had a growth spurt.

This is a slightly better shot where you can see them:

@Emile @wvu80 I've got the KP-3002's set up, and Oh My God© What sound hath Klipsch wrought? These things are marvelous! You get a lot more sound out of these at the same wattage level, than anything else I have. Extraordinary. Here's a quick pic, better ones tomorrow once I get some more lighting in here.

Aaaaand they're gone.

Which is why I posted it. <-----Me, for the last couple of days

Epic CF 1’s probably make fantastic PC speakers!

https://ocala.craigslist.org/msg/d/leslie-speaker-cabinet/6698551068.html $1,200 is the lowest price I have seen on one of these since the '90's!

Let me ask your opinion on something... Do you think these are a little overkill for my main PC / Desktop speakers? (Be honest now!)

Damn, I wish you were just a bit closer. As my wife says, "Soon we will have to walk across the speaker tops to get anywhere in the house".

That '50's console will be amazing when it is completed. It appears to be teak? It makes me laugh thinking about modern sound coming out of that mid-century box.

I've got to tell a story on myself. In the light of a new day, it's rather funny. On both Thursday and Friday, I was operating on almost zero sleep. Two, maybe three hours a night tops. Between work and insomnia, I was a total wreck. Meanwhile, I had been negotiating with Emile over his KP-3002. We arrange for me to take a trip down to St. Pete, so I take off from work early yesterday to go pick up these (Awesome!) speakers. I was extremely tired, and mentally whacked out. As we are carrying them out to my car, I burst into a heavy sweat that was not merely caused by the Florida heat. My glasses fog up immediately so I take them off and lay them down in the back of the Pontiac Vibe (It's a re-badged Toyota Matrix without the resale value). I then start the process of putting down the back seats and flipping the carpet forward so that I could load the "rat fur" covered 3002's into the back. I get them loaded, and we go back into the house where Emile has graciously provided some bottled water, and he wanted to demo his KPT-904's for me. He has a fantastic setup, a literal wall of sound. He built some matching cabinets to hide the 904 horns to avoid wife aggro, along with 3 matching Heresy's. It's at this point that I realize I didn't have my glasses. I thought that I had taken them off inside, so I looked around at all the spots that I had been near. No dice. He then said that I probably took them off at the car, so I went out and they weren't there. I dug around in the back, making sure they weren't behind or maybe in between the speakers. Nope. We went back in the house and had another unsuccessful rummage around. Twice. Back out to the car for the third time, and after a thorough search I found them underneath the front drivers seat. When I flipped the carpet forward, the glasses must have flown to the front of the car, bounced off the dashboard, and ended up under the front of the seat. Jeez. Could I BE any more moronic? I go back inside to let him know that I found them. He was smiling by this point, so I thought I would back out gracefully, trying to recoup as much of my dignity as I could. He closed the door, and I make it halfway back to my vehicle. That's when I realized that I had left my medic's mini backpack with all my portable kit inside his house. "Once more into the fray". Good lord. @Emile, you must think I am barely above a baboon in the evolutionary scale. Serves me right. Thank you again for the incredible deal on these, E! Klipsch Pro, the best kept secret in speakers. Here they are in a temporary spot for some testing: Once I get my office / listening room set up properly, I will add more pics to this thread...

No lack there. I have been in IT work for over 30 years, so I should know this stuff by now.

Right click on start, run, then type in charmap and run it. That gives you access to all extended character libraries.

Are these decorator cabs, then? The Ebay ad says they are from 1974. Maybe there is some decent woodgrain hiding under the black...

One thing that I did to help with the bass out of KG4's, was to create a sort of "horn loaded" shape utilizing other pieces of furniture arranged around the speakers. What I mean by this, is to create a U shaped space to place these in, by creatively arranging furniture around them that I could put against the walls. I found that the speakers liked to be 6 - 8 inches off the wall. I then created the same spacing on both the left and the right with a highboy chest in the center with a bookshelf completing the U on one side, and a decorative chest on the other side (which holds the electronics). This really boosted the bass in my room, by accentuating the output of the passive radiators in the back of the speakers. There is all the thump you would need available from the KG4's. It just takes a little bit of experimentation to wring all you can out of them. Another Mopar fan here as well...

There is a technique that I have used in the past successfully. You can raise existing wood grain utilizing water and an iron: https://homeguides.sfgate.com/repair-wood-grain-rise-steam-99306.html Then you can use a dark walnut stain (sparingly!) using a soft cloth, and laid down along the grain, in your case front to back. Give it a little stain, then almost immediately wipe the same area with a clean, lint free cloth. The microfibers work well for this. You can get these scratches to nearly invisible at a foot away. You can blend this way several times if needed. Next: Buy some tinted safety glass cut to the size of the tops. Never take them off.

It's a KG4. I should know the back of them, I own 4. Here's a pic of the back of a Forte 1, check the relational sizes between the passive radiator to the overall size, and the distance between the radiator and the input cup: Now, here is the back of a KG4:

Okay, the only Cornwalls I can find in Florida are these Pro versions, listed in Daytona Beach. Are they actually WORTH $950 for the pair in the shape they are in? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1974-Vintage-Klipsch-Cornwall-Industrial-Speakers-local-pickup-only/273389766050?hash=item3fa74cc5a2:g:aQYAAOSwuD9ZzlKt
