  1. Thanks for the reply Billybob. I like them with the grills too, just need to see them without the grills to determine which direction I want to go. I may need to replace the cane grills with another fabric or another cane since the current is loose and pretty worn looking. I will likely go with a walnut stain, or veneer, so not sure what will go with that finish... The main thing is they sound awsome! John
  2. Thanks 001. That's helpful. Unfortunately, it looks like small nails were used to secure the quarter-round to frame the grill. I'll have to 'pop' that off and go from there. the sides look to be a birch plywood. Then I'll have to decide whether to go back with grills, or leave them naked.
  3. Sorry to bump that thread, at least it was 16 yrs old.
  4. Sorry, thread kept telling me my images weren't loading... I resized several times, then it loaded. Once I posted, I noticed that it had actually loaded further down... Told ya I was a newbie here! John

  6. This is quite an old thread, but here goes.... Very interesting stuff! I'm a newbie and just started re-gathering equipment. I got pretty lucky and within a year, I have a set-up I'm very happy with. Marantz 2245 (45 watts) (soon to be replaced by a 2325 (125 watts), being reworked), an AR-XL turntable, and last night I just set up a pair of '77 Cornwalls and LOVE them. They sound amazing. Wish I had kept the stuff I had when I was in the Air Force in '77, I would have saved a bunch of money, but probably would have replaced it all anyway... never had Klipsches, couldn't afford them. I have the Decorator Series Cornwalls and I think I'll leave them as they are for sound until I've listened to them a while. I would like to re-finish them, but not sure what to do. I cound lightly sand them to bare wood then lightly oil them ( I think?) if not veneer? Or I could veneer them with walnut, which I have been successful at before. Are these capable of a light sanding? I really need to get rid of the 'orangish' color someone stained them, it's ugly. Speaker grills will not come off, thinking someone must have added the 1/4" quarter-round? or is that normal? Thanks, John
