  1. Heritage Kipsch. Klipschorn, Chor… | Electronics | ksl.com

    (not my ad)

    1990 Klipschorn -- $4200

    1992 Chorus II -- These are the desirable ones with 15" on back side -- $1500 These are in walnut with black cloth, and in exceptional condition for their age.

    1986 Cornwall II -- New Crites crossover with Titanium tweeters were installed recently. The change is astounding. The sound rivals the mightly Khorn -- $1500

    1998 KLF 30 -- If you like bass, these have it! Dual 12" woofers in each cabinet. Relatively few of these were made and therefore they can be very hard to find. $900

    KLF 10 -- cabinets are in fair condition. For $400, you can't go wrong. VERY strong bass from dual 10". Titanium driver installed recently.

    KLF 20 -- All original in good condition. $700

  2. I've refinished a few different pairs of speakers.  Heresy BR's that were painted grey, a mismatched pair of H1's (Fir Black and Oak) that had thick gooey black industrial paint. And pair of Oak Cornwall II's that were in super sad shape with huge gashes, burn marks and rings on top.

    I like black lacquer so I've gone black with all of them except a pair of HBR's that I lightly sanded and used Watco oil on.

    First one turned out ok, IMO. 

     

    No Randy, no staples, didn´t want them to be seen later. And i didn´t want to buy a stapler just for this. Just glue and clamping, starting with the large areas. The edges I "pre-folded" with clamps and a heat-gun, that made gluing around the edges easier for me afterwards.

    Great idea on pre-fold and heat gun!
    I've got new grill frames and fabric (from Crites) cut and ready to go.  The fabric is quite rigid so was wondering what to do.  Thanks!

    Hey new poster here.  I acquired two pair of heresy speakers from my wife’s uncle this past weekend. I am trying to figure out what series they are. I believe if reading the serial number correct they were made in 1983.  Any help appreciated!

    Can't go wrong with those!  Have you hooked them up yet?

    Like many others I am down the rabbit-hole of panning to build a pair of Cornscala "D Style". I chose the 2 way design to simplify the construction, design and availability of parts.

    Being based in Italy my main problem is finding crossovers for a reasonable price; with ALK and Crites both based in the US I would spend more in shipment + taxes than the actual product.

     

    Are there available (for sell too) some schematics/details shots of a crossover for a 2-way Cornscala (single crossover at 500Hz)? I am willing to DIY it.

     

    My components are:

    - Faital HF140 Driver

    - Faital LTH142 Horn

    - Eminence Kappa-15C Woofer (is there something from Faital or B&C that can compare?)

    Any help is much appreciated! Thank you

    Please post pics of the process!  I'm going to be doing the same project.  I'll be curious to see how you choose to do the cabinets.  Good luck!

  6. That would be like buying that new Ferrari and pulling the motor trying to find 3 more horsepower.
    IMO; Spend a considerable amount of time with them before trying to improve them.  Try a few different amp setups and room treatments.

  7. His valuation for his CW's is WAY high.  Cornwall in WV for only $1200.  Vintage Klipsch Cornwall Speakers - electronics - by owner - sale (craigslist.org)
    BTW; the CR2020 for $700 is an absolute steal.  I'd grab that and wait on some Cornwalls at a reasonable price.

    Take a look at these.  Says "must sell".  Maybe you can get them to $1800 (if they're decent condition). Klipsch speakers original Cornwalls - electronics - by owner - sale (craigslist.org)

  9. I'm starting to question myself on where I was heading.
    If I use the original motorboards and build a box around them I may not have enough cabinet volume to handle those 15" woofers?
    My Cornwall II are about 6.35 sq ft volume.  Depending on how deep I go, the cabs I was thinking of building would only be 3.84 ft sq. 
    Hmmm

    it will work  ,  here's the ideal setup , you build a  taller cabinet than the motorboard and leave 2.5  inches of space under the motorboard , the back would be sealed   , the idea being to vent  like a CW 

    I ended up getting them.  $200.  They are HEAVY!
    I just had shoulder surgery a couple days ago so the project will have to wait. :(

    Randy, do you think I should I just keep the ports as they are and not extend the motorboard?
