As you can now see, this is all brand new to me......I knew someone was going to chide me for that last question. HA!
-
Will the existing capacitors have their value on the side of them? Or will I need to open them up to see the values?

Please note this is the date of the K33E in the photo, but not necessarily that of Cornwall. I have 2015 Cornawall IIIs with 2014 and 2015 Speakers inside
For new capacitors choice MKP 😉
Solen, Audyn Cap and Jantzen are very good
What is MKP?
Should I just use the Bob Crites package, or go to PE and choose from the other brands you mentioned? -

PE is PARTS EXPRESS---replacement is quite easy , you unscrew the drivers wires on the barrier strip , ( tag the wires -right -left ) -then remove the crossovers -
unsolder the wires going to the old capacitors , one at a time -solder the new caps in , use a hot glue gun and lay some glue to seat the new capacitors ------that's it ----screw in the wiring in the reverse order -
Are there any walkthrouhgs on the forum that I can look at to guide me?

Can you DM me specs? Thoughts on how it would sound with Cornwalls?

I Forgot to tell you to eventually plan for replacing the capacitors in the crossovers unless this was already done by the previous owners , my Cornwall 1 ---1979 capacitors were really bad , although the sound was still ok , and the replacement was relatively inexpensive with quality parts from PE - the sound greatly improved vs the old caps -
Very good. What is PE? Or can you provide a link as to where to buy capacitors for these? How hard is the replacement to do DIY? Or should I just take it to a shop to have it done? I think they sound fantastic now, but I am coming from Acoustic Research AR-2a's which are just fine, so the difference has been stellar.

Thanks!

The woofers look identical, but @RandyH000 indicated in the beginning of the post, that there was something odd about them, so that is why I was asking.
Thank you to everybody for the help! I'm glad to know more about these and their history and I'm certainly enjoying them with my SS amp, and will look to enjoy them with a tube amp here in the future. 😁

Correct - your speakers are 100% original --
I see. So any thoughts at to why the woofers look different? I know I'm the 3rd owner. Just curious.

This is super helpful!! Thanks so much!
I will pull the backs off to see how the woofers are marked and report back.
I do have risers, but I needed to crop the original photos to meet the file size requirements.
Here is a photo of the riser.

Here are some more photos of them.
They are is really great shape and sound amazing!
Does anyone have the factory spec sheet that they can share on these?

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and wanted to date the Cornwalls I purchased a couple months ago to replace my AR-2a's.
Please let me know what other information I may need to provide?
I'd also like to get the spec information as well if thats available?
Thanks for the help! I look forward to learning from this forum!

Gaskets on back panels? I will look but when I took the back off, I didn't notice a gasket.
