Does anyone a line on the risers for the sideways Cornwalls? This is the only thing missing from mine now.

WOW!!!! That pic above is my EXACT pair of speakers!!! Wood color and grill!!! It's nice to see another pair. Now thats a bookshelf speaker!!!

Do you own a shop in the area? There aren't many HI-FI stores around here to speak of really. I'd love to check out your place and talk HI-FI to some one local here, and I'm looking for a nice tube to run my Cornwalls.

I have the new kinda secret list of prices and color combos, or lack there-of for the new line. Bye Bye to cane grills, only lacquer topcoat finishes except raw birch, oils are gone...STILL NO CORNWALLS!!!! I'd love to see that come back. Rumor of new Acadamy to match woods???? In late 2002.Also the mystery of the Jubalie finally making it to shelfs may happen.

I knew these were rare speakers when I found them but I never kneew how much people want these. I have had more offers to buy them then I know what to do with! Anyway I just got a pair of Heresey II's in light oak. These are gonna make great center speakers!!! Cornwalls front and rear, two Heresy II's for the center and two RSW-15's..... its perferct!! Any opinions on the new Heritage line being released May 15??? New driver manufacturer in all the speakers from now on.K-horn, Bell,La Scala ,Heresey II's all to be re-introduced at the new price points[ higher, by allot}.

BLAMMM!!! This is how these should sound! OK, these are the biggest book shelfs in the world and their great. Wonderfull bass and I Dynomatted the horns and upgraded to Monster wireing.

I have perfect RS-3's/RC-3 and two KSW-12's for sale. I'm moving up to the full RF-7 package and 2 RSW15's. These are all perfect and I have all the boxs and packing for this stuff. $300/bo. for each sub $275/bo. for the center $325/bo. for the rears I'm in the north east E-mail me for any ????

Ahhhhhh! I just got my new 15's form Klipsch and two new x-overs from the Cornwall II's today, I'll toss em in tomorrow and let you guys know how it went!

The x-overs caps and coils are very brittle and dry. I'm sure they could both use updating. And also since the two are slightly different (both type C but the caps are different between the two). I think updating the two woofers would be smart too. I want to get on these just as hard as my Cornwall II's and not worrie about hurting something.

Can I update the x-overs and both 15's? The woofers look tired and the x-overs are 35 years old! I'm not as concerned about keeping it orig. as I am about making these sound better. My Cornwall II's sound alot better

Nope wasn't me, sorry

I live in Providence R.I., Oh and I'll check on the Altec stuff for ya. I really have more Klipsch and JBL then anything though.

I might think of selling them but the cabinets and grills look like someone had them in bubble wrap for 30 years! There almost to nice to sell. I do have many other pairs of vintage speakers form Klpisch and JBL, and Altec that i collect. This message has been edited by Griff on 03-29-2002 at 03:38 PM

Ok here's the scoop. I've been a Klipsch dealer for 5 years and I'm always coming across old trades people have. I collected a small invintory of old Cornwalls Bells, K horns ect.. Here's one that I just got that today that I've NEVER seen before! They are old vintage Cornwalls ser # 1G237 & 1G236. They're walnut cabs with a light cloth like grill. The cabs and grills are in PERFECT shape, really. Here's where it gets strange, the tweeter and mid horns are sideways in the cab and the logo is sideways as well, as if there huge book shelfs! They also have a Klipsch sticker that reads "Cornwall II" on the back. I removed the back and found the following drivers: K-77, K-55-v, K-33-P,and Type C x-overs which would indicate they are not Cornwall II's. The customer remebers buying them sometime in the early 60's he thinks and he brought the back to the shop to replace one of the woofers. When I pulled off the other back plate the woofer wasn't a K-33-p but a massive vintage crome Electovoice 15" woofer dated 3/1959 and the cross over was changed a bit I have Cornwall II's as well and nothing looks the same between the two. My question is does anyoe know the vintage or rarity of these? Value? And can I buy that K-33-p to match the other one? I like to here some comments on these gems.
