Thanks for addressing it!!! I love Klipsch and hope that customer service can help us keep the legacy alive by not having to buy non-Klipsch parts to keep our old speakers sounding awesome!! To hear my 40 year old Cornwall, and go demo a set of 10k revel and decide NOT to get the revel because they don’t sound as good as my 40 year old set is a testament!!!! Can’t wait to save up to get the Cornwall 4 that others have said you have perfected!!!

Also I put them up with a time window, wasn’t too awfully worried about selling them. Just confused a set this nice didn’t go quickly. I went to take the ad down and saw smokinone had replied. It was bittersweet for sure! You do excellent work and smokinone will be lucky to have them, as was I!

Still pristine! I’m hunting hard for a set of 2, and doing some temporary downsizing. Unfortunately I just went through a lumbar fusion and the extra cash will help. Smokinone and I had an excellent conversation and I couldn’t be happier that they’re going to someone who will truly enjoy and respect the set!

Sold! Thanks

Well if smokinone doesn’t grab them I’ll keep them, with a name like that I can only assume we’re kindred spirits!!

Yeah I think mines a keeper asswell! Dead quiet, great dynamics, surprising bass. I want to do some tube rolling, but a little concerned that I hit the jackpot. I told him what sounds I like and he loaded tubes that nailed it! Will is a great vendor.

Here’s Will’s number, just bought one of his rebuilds, it’s beautiful. He powder coats em, great tubes, not sure if he chose the tubes by the sound I describe I liked, but the amp sure sounds exactly like I described down to the tube selection. It’s inky black quiet with better bas than any 70 I’ve heard or owned. Cheers, Bobby2x’s Bobby2x’s Will Vincent 280-791-0805

I pair my pm8004 with a Will Vincent st-70 and the sound is sublime, just enough euphonics to make it sound multiples better than the individual pieces. I’d imagine a more detailed amp would take some of the “magic” away. Anywho....great gear, thought I’d share my victory, this combination is crushing on Cornwall 1!!!!

I couldn’t have got drunk and angered everyone, we haven’t even had a parlay 😂

Am I missing something? Excellent set, updates are solid, minty cabs, no one interested?

Thanks for the advice, if they don’t sell, I’m sure curiosity will get the better of me.

If they don’t sell I may try my hand at this if it’s reversible, my craftsmanship is mostly on the administration side of things haha

Also I have to believe there’s a difference because these have been up for a day and they’re still here. Don’t get me wrong they are awesome, and if I didn’t already have the Cornwall I’d probably never wonder. The chorus 2 I've seen even in poorer condition is gone in the matter of an hour!!! No big deal, I win if I keep em I win if I sell. I’m super happy to keep em if no one is interested. But would seriously do a trade plus cash if anyone wants to trade chorus 1 for 2’s!

Also the thing I love about my Cornwall is how full they sound at low volume, so that’s the other aspect to the battle of the giants.

I take great care in positioning, it took me about a couple days to approximate placement for my Cornwall, then it was wild what half inch shifts would do for the soundstage! I’d move listen for a while, change and change back. The Cornwall are king of the hill, did the same games with the chorus 1 and they lost to the Cornwall. Now I’m curious if the 2 can unseat them. If not no biggie, but want to try out of curiosity. Not super interested in the tube mods for the ports, just kinda want to know....are the chorus 2 really better than Cornwall.

I just got a will Vincent st-70. It’s got a better fit and finish, less noise, easier to bias, and more attractive than any of the ST-70’s I’ve heard or owned. Ymmv

I will either sell these or buy 2’s and keep em, depends on how things work out, I’m rolling the dice and keeping the Cornwall either way!

I have not. I’ve heard tale, but was worried that it would introduce distortion with my level of craftsmanship, I’m no stunner in the shop.

For simplicity, I really have always loved a well put together simple system. My favorite system currently is a pair of Cornwall 1 with the old oil caps, a marantz pm8005 into a will Vincent st-70. It’s perfect for me, sans sub. Would love to see if the chorus 2 could top it. My space is too small for Klipschorns. So I’ve narrowed the battle down to the Cornwall and chorus 2. If you want these I’d trade plus cash since you run a sub anyway 😜

A little more low end. I’m hoping that the chorus 2 sound in between KLF and Cornwall. I love the mids and highs of the chorus 1 but it’s missing the last bit of bottom. They sound excellent with subs, but I want to ditch the sub. My Cornwall do it, KLF do it, and chorus 1 are so so close, but need the extra help on the very bottom.

Here’s Will’s number, tell him Rob from Nashville sent you! Will Vincent 208-791-0805

He’s building more, and can do other colors, he said he’s gonna build a bright yellow one. I like the black but may have to buy the wife one in yellow, like marg getting a bowling ball for Christmas Doh!!!

Here’s a link to the one I bought tho https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa2a90-dynaco-un-limited-by-will-vincent-mondorf-caps-tube?show_listing=true

I tried, but it kept saying I exceeded my picture limit? I posted in garage sale and couldn’t finish my pics there, I didn’t think it would inhibit my pics on other posts asswell!

I just got mine!!! I waited to respond till I listened at least an hour to let it get warmed up.I owned the Bob Latino at-70 and I have to say the Will Vincent amp bests it in every way!!! Of course our hobby is subjective so take that with a grain of salt. First off its D-E-D quiet, like Dead quiet, like is it working quiet, that is until the first note.the bass is notably better. I used to have to use tone controls with my Cornwall but I actually was able to go source direct on my Marantz pm8004 and still have ample bass for a basshead like myself. The midrange is very good, I can’t compare because I no longer have the Bob Latino but both models sound excellent in the midrange. The bass is good enough that I have no issue saying the Will Vincent is better because my Latino was a bit anemic I. That regard, and coupled with the noise was the reason I sold it. The treble is the same situation, loved the Bob amp and loving the WIll amp. Knobs to bias instead of a screw or some kind of specialty tool. It also has a large meter in front to read the bias of the tubes. The overall build quality is excellent, and to be honest Will seemed as excited for me as I was excited 😂. Just an excellent overall experience buying the amp, and he was super helpful when I called to ask what tubes he recommended to roll. The amp shipped with Tung sol el34B. The restoration is top notch with the powder coat instead of a shiny fingerprint magnet. Top notch shipping, like if I’d known how well it was packed I would have just thrown it down the stairs instead of carrying it (JK, but seriously tho too). Bass is better than my Bob Latino, and my absolute favorite part is the rca’s in the back like a civilized human would do!!! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Bobby2x’s Bobby2x’s
