How easy/hard was removing the grills? I have verts (old CW II's) and have been unsuccessful in removing them - and I sure don't want to risk attacking the sides and prying them out.

here Looks like vert mounted drivers - Mine are almost identical, so I don't need'em.

Great looking work - Where did you get the caps?

I've already cast my vote in another section, but I have a question. What would you consider to be the best recording of Holst's The planets?

I'd say I fall into this group, but of late (now that I have a tube amp) I'm actively seeking more jazz and classical (I was in Stage band, symphonic band and orchestra in college so that might have some influence) Chuckears - I have to agree American IV is incredible (my only complaint is "Personal Jesus") I'd also highly recommend Kindred Spirits a tribute album. My favorite listens are: The Stone Roses Life's Rich Pageant REM Nevermind Nirvana The best of Elvis Costello vol 1 and 2 Now, looking at the list I see I'm a little dated, so I have to add now I like The Strokes The White Stripes Abandoned Pools I'm sure there are others, but that's what comes to mind right now.

In response to an earlier post, I have not really heard the Klipsch's reference line, so I cannot comment. But I would agree - if it were up to me - I'd make the Klipschhorn the "reference" In infinity home systems, the reference is the IRS (Infinity Reference Standard) My boss has a set of Kappa 9's and would kill for the IRS's http://www.hometheaterforum.com/bbs/equipment/28981.html

I have to send congrats as well... those belles are sweet.

Craig, I emailed you a schematic, (it was scanned from the inside of the bottom cover.) Thanks

John's probably closer to the truth than I am, but as it what explained to me, When a manufacturer created a "Reference" product, they made it the best they could, whout much regard for cost. Then they start taking shortcuts for price points, all the while trying to maintain the sound of the "reference".

Michael, They would work, but they would lack punch. What happens is when the wires a reversed, the current causes the speaker to pull in when it should be pushing out, and vice versa. So when the sub should punch, it actually pushes the air into the box, giving you a muffled sound.

Also what is a rectifier and what does it do? I don't think I have one on this Stromberg-Carlson integrated amp and I wonder if I could add one and would it help?

I may be sick.... (revision) On second thought... maybe the buyer is building homemade Klipshorns?

This is my 1972 Cornwall II (right) The left is a mirror image Jim, how do you get the image to show in the post?

Where did the auction go? Did anybody get lucky? I checked it this morning and it had a day and a half to go. Now it's gone! I hope somebody from here got it! ('cause it damn sure wasn't me )
