@HDBRbuilder, Yep, they have an "A" stamped on them. 

How satisfied you are with upgraded Crossover? I'm planning exactly that crossover.

Thank you for replay.

Hi, my Cornwall from 1979. The left one is waxed, the right one will be finished in few days. But I’m confused because K-33-E and K-33-B drivers. Both have square magnets, will there be any difference in bass? I found only this (photo) data on the forum. From
here what I can see Square magnet on K33E and K33B makes no difference on the sound!?

Thank you for your comments in advance.

I was the primary builder of Cornwalls when yours were built.  Stand behind the speakers, looking at the rear edge of the side panel to your left...about an inch or slightly less further down from the top...there should be letters stamped in there...two sets, one above the other.  What letters do you see?  Note: There should NORMALLY be pairs of letters side-by-side in each set.  If one of those pairs of letters has "A" in it, I built it.  Cornwalls were most often built by two builders in those days...one on each side of the worktable.  The primary builder normally worked from front while the helper worked from the rear...as the cabinet was being built.  One set of the stamped-in letters are the builder code...the other set is who sanded them.  Since yours are CBR's I may have build them with no helper at all!...if that is the case, then the "A" will be just a single letter instead of a pair of letters.

 

That is very cool. I'll check letters tomorrow and will post here.

Hi to all, I'm new here on Klipsch community and thanks for let me in. 

 

I have a chance to buy Klipsch Cornwall speakers from late 70's but I'm confused because of K-33-E black color and K-33-B bronze color driver?!?! One speaker is with K33E black, other K33B driver, one horn is K-77, and middle K-55-M. The speaker serial number continues. Avoid them or buy them? Price is 800€ for pair.
