I have 1975 Cornwall in Good condition. Comes with original grills, recently treated with lemon oil. Sounds amazing! I bought this pair 2 months ago from a seller nearby for 950$ as it failed his WAF, selling for the same price.
LocationL Baltimore, MD
Serials 5N978, 5N979
Please refer to the pics below.
I will share link to more photos privately upon request.

Nothing new.
If you are familiar with the models, what would be the median prices you'd be willing to pay for each model except for AK5 (that one is pain in the *** for sure)

If you want more feedback from others to help decide if not already, hope it comes soon.
What you ask is not unheard of at all.
Win, win, I say or... make it a really good deal.
thank you, i think so too but let's see.

Have you seen or heard any of these in person? If not, I'd be careful.
Saw in person but haven't heard, they come from a Klipsch heritage collectioner, I checked a couple of crossovers inside of the Belles and they seemed in pristine condition.

I mean saying worthless to Belles and Cornwalls and Heresy is clearly lack of understanding of what Klipsch community cares for. Besides in my opinion AK5 is a deadweight. They are huge and intermediate model, very hard to sell at 10k+. Unless you wanna buy them chief.

Alright, the deal is looking more like a package since last read.
I think seller should consider your situation. We like consistency ...
She is just overwhelmed and wants to get rid of the lot ASAP. I'd like to offer her to store and sell at the highest price possible including the ones I am going to buy from her, transfer all proceeds to her account net of the costs to me.

Others here better at valuation than I. Am really abit surprised some more have not sold as of yet.
Still, you are closer to the deal.
Sorry if pissed you. Was trying to be discreet.
Not at all, she doesn't want to sell piecemeal, and I am only condidering because I want them Cornwall IIs in WO. that's my struggle

Not at all...but, you may have to start your own thread to get the answers you seek.
In the garage sale here, is likely the advertisement to sell similar.
Just in case you are not aware.
Well this is originally my thread, and I didn't want the original seller to see this conversation. I went and saw the lot, but the space was quite limited so we didn't unpack anything, I just took a look at a couple of boxes, haven't even had a chance to check if the crossovers seem alright

So you are criticizing me for asking for opinions in the "wrong thread" ?

Look in the garage sale for similar items.
Hey I figured, checked the garage sale items found the original seller. FYI none are NOS, mostly MINT however. I thought in the beginning it was a steal, but then did some research and I will barely breakeven and that is if I sell the AK5s at 80% premium.. The rest will be sold below the prices she quoted in her thread.

Others better suited on these to help with your decision.
Cool ?
"Others better suited on these"... doesn't make any sense in English.

GUYS! I was just offered to buy an entire Heritage lot consisting of 7 sequential mint pairs, 1 KH AK5 OO, 3KB OO OL WO, 1 Heresy, 1CW1 OO, 1CW 2 WO.
The price is 20k to me, my costs of moving, storing and selling will be around $1,350 including 3% sales fee I will be paying to paypal as a seller.
should I pull the trigger?

now if only one of my MD fellows in this forum could point me in the right direction to recap my M504s I would be elated

Bissell Upholstery cleaner in the blue can will get those grills looking and smelling like new. DO NOT put them in water that is fiberboard that they are wrapped on and it will swell and warp and make a bloody mess. They did not start using the composite or plastic grill backing until many years later. I have used this time and time again on Klipsch grills and can guarantee it works. Vaccum them with a brush gently and them use the Bissell cleaner. It cleans well, dries fast and smells great use it liberally wipe off any excess foam, let dry.
wow great tips keep coming, thank you so much will definitely look into it

@murad I bought these connectors for my Heresy E, which have the same terminals as Your Cornwall and they work well.
I already installed them, they are very versatile, you can still use raw cable by replacing the screws in the other hole as well as with banana plugs and still with spade connectors. great stuff, amazing matte gold finish. thank y'all for the tips.

I was about to say, I've been jumping from genre to genre. I know for sure that my M504 needs recapping despite it makes every speaker hooked to it shine; now with Cornwalls it is an entire different story.
I just put 'Inflation Field' track from Roly Porter's Kistvaen album, and it shattered my room physically and myself emotionally, immediately as tremors ran through the space I got goosebumps. Not even sitting in front of the speakers. it is magnificent.
Definition: I put on albums I listened for 100s of times from the early 2000s and I heard so much new detail, I haven't before.
Again listening at low volumes, my preamp at 30%, M504 doesn't have pots, it is incredibly powerful, so much authority
BASS: deep, extended, smooth, presence!

With 16 ft ceilings you probably don't need treatment there. At least I wouldn't start there. But high ceilings make the need even greater for room treatment. I'd start with the first reflection points on the side walls and maybe something on the wall behind you. But even an area rug will improve things.
Shakey
I am lucky because I enjoy music at lower volumes and as such it has been quite pleasant so far. But I have some plans to convert a couple of room dividers to acoustic panels to stand behind the speakers. that wall is where I watch stuff at night so I can't really put anything in the middle.

Nice. But that room could use some treatment on the walls, a rug on the floor and some overstuffed furniture.

Hey Shakey,
I know but my ceilings are 16ft and no matter what I did around the space, i decided that the real solution will be with the ceiling treatment, and since I don't own the place I am intending to hang heavyweight elevator protector blankets, the quilted kind.. I hope it helps with the acoustics

does anyone think 1982 Cornwalls are better than 1975? in what aspects? I like that mine have access from the rear, in case I need to upgrade the crossovers.
Any opinions? Also how do CW2 compare to CW1?
