  1. **New to the Forum** - I just purchased a pair of early 80's Heresys in great cosmetic condition. I was introduced to Klipsch at an early age because I grew up in a house with my dad's 70's Cornwalls. A few year's back, I had a 10" Reference Series sub gifted to me and I was impressed with it's bass output - especially paired with my cheaper JBL shelf system that I had at the time. I was very excited to find the Heresys in my local area, so I scooped them up since I am setting up (from scratch) a new system for my condo. I purchased a Denon AVR-S510BT receiver (700W) and hooked up the Heresys this evening, and I must say, I was extremely disappointed in the bass output. I have searched forums on here, and I have also read reviews on other sites, and it's clear that low end on the Heresys is not a strong point. However, I was not expecting virtually no bass whatsoever. Don't get me wrong, the highs sound fantastic - crisp and clear as day. I didn't expect them to be comparable to the Cornwall's by any means, but I did expect the 12" woofers in the Heresys to have similar output that the 10" Reference sub had. Am I way off base here? To be clear, I am by no means an audio expert. Since I have never heard a pair of Heresys before I don't know what to listen for, nor what their bass standard should be. The settings in the Denon are correct from what I have researched. I do not have any surround or center speakers. The settings are set for front speakers and are set on "Large" with no sub. I have checked the positive and negative on both speakers and they are hooked up correctly. Have I just been spoiled with the bass response on the Cornwalls? Should I just pair them with a sub? It's just hard for me to believe that a speaker made by Klipsch and marketed as "2/3 a Klipschorn" would have so little bass response. Any input would be welcomed.

  3. Been doing some research for quite awhile. I wanna upgrade front stage to be all heritage. But been thinking and want to get some ideas from real user. Now im using rp504c as center speaker pairing with Forte IVs not sure if Cornwall III will be too much or better than Forte IV. Or 3rd Forte IV will be just perfect. Or RC64III is better. from what I was told, Forte IV is way better than RC64III. But not sure about cornwall iii
  4. Looking to Buy a single speaker. Looking for Klipsch Forte III or IV Klipsch Cornwall III or IV Prefer in walnut color to match my fronts. Please send me an offer. Willing to drive 100-200 miles. Local pick up area 91042
  5. Looking for conventional wisdom here on a budget. Cornwall 1's that sound great but nothing to compare it to. No leaking caps so should I just let it be?
  6. SOLD - and actually sold and traded. Received cash plus nice pair of Quartets in exchange. Happy seller, happy buyer. Two great speaker models. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1355312382008447 Klipsch Cornwall 1 speakers (pair) made in 1980 in Birch Raw tastefully stained to Walnut appearance. Some cosmetic flaws but for speakers of this age they are in excellent condition with little signs of use. Offers considered, especially if you have a set of Klipsch Quartets - or maybe Forte - in partial trade. Please, I will not consider any other speakers or brand - just the two Klipsch speakers mentioned. Quartets should fit in my current listening space better. Fortes might work too. These speakers are absolutely amazing and sound fantastic! For that reason I hate to part with them but quickly after purchasing them I realized that they do not comfortably fit the space in our house - so, my hasty decision and loss is your gain! Never fear - I have other Klipsch speakers and I definitely plan to buy more - so here is your chance to own one of the best Klipsch speakers ever made! Previous owner said the crossovers were updated with Crites components and that was verified after I removed the backs to take pictures of the internal components and new B&K Sound Type B crossovers. Other than the crossovers all else appears to be Klipsch factory original. The previous owner claimed to be the original owner although I think it was actually his brother who purchased them new. If you’re already familiar with Klipsch Cornwall then you probably don’t need to read further - but most people will not feel the need for a subwoofer with these speakers that are capable of reaching 38Hz. The bass sound from the 15” ported woofer is phenomenal! Klipsch engineering specifications: Frequency Response +/- 5dB 38 to 17,000 Hz Sound Pressure level 98.5 dB for 1 watt input at 4 feet Impedance: 8 Ohms 35 3/4” H x 25 1/2” W x 15 1/2” D I have more pictures than what I can post in this listing so send a message if you would like to see those too. I’m in the Knoxville, Tennessee area and for obvious reasons I’m restricting this to local pickup with cash only. Most people realize that these speakers are special and they’re worth making a long drive to pick them up.
  7. I am moving on from my Klipsch Corwalls which I bought new in the 80's. I have questions and need some help. 1) The speakers are in fine working order but as you can see from the image my cats have scratched up the material. The cabinet is good and the speakers are great. Should I replace the material before I try to sell, or is it better to leave as is? 2) How much are these worth? I see wild price variations on ebay. Thanks for any help.
  8. Cabinets and speaker grills are in presentable condition for their age. I found the Bob Crites crossovers are a nice upgrade. I do not have the factory risers. I replaced then rubber furniture feet. The sound incredible. I've used them with several different amps/receivers. They're currently hooked up to a push pull integrated EL-34 amplifier. Happy to demo. Calling or texting is my preferred method of communication. No emails please. My mobile is 805-208-9713. LOCAL PICK UP ONLY! They weigh 89 lbs each and I'm in an upstairs condo. You must be able to move them yourself. And I assume NO liability for injuries. Bring a dolly.
  9. I am new to this group but have been a follower/owner of Klipsch products for many years. A dear friend passed away last year his estate and asked if I was interested in purchasing his pair of Cornwall speakers. Attached are pictures of the serial numbers with the signatures of the employees who inspected and tested them at the factory. is someone able to tell me the model and date of manufacture with this information?
  10. I'm selling my barely used B2 crossovers by Aletheia Audio. I installed them mid August (sounded wonderful) and then bought khorns 3 weeks later. Maybe 20 hours on them max. Built with Jensen, Dayton, and paper in oil. See pics. There are holes in the mounting board as I did install them. Asking $585 plus shipping (net to me if using PayPal).
  11. Might be a great opportunity for someone in California! They look to be in very good shape and the 90w Sansui is a very nice unit. 3 days left and sitting at only at $24 today. Stereo system | Live and Online Auctions on HiBid.com
  12. I have a pair of black Heresy IIIs I purchased new in 2010 from a retail audio store - very good condition (slight damage to veneer on the bottom corner of the front face; otherwise excellent condition). Would like to move up to Cornwalls (for many reasons, but the 15" drivers are the largest differentiator). Hoping to find someone with Cornwalls who is downsizing (moving into smaller space, SFA, finances, etc.), but not ready to completely give up that Klipsch Heritage sound ... trade my Heresy's plus cash for your Cornwalls. Will consider any model or finish. Thanks Bob
  13. Forte III to Cornwall IV I was lucky to get a trade in offer for full price on what I paid for the Forte III to upgrade to the Cornwall IV. It was a no brainer deal, so I had to take it up. Those that say the Cornwall is like a Forte on steroids aren’t wrong. They deliver a bigger presentation more effortlessly. The word I keep coming back to with the Cornwall is delicacy. Slightly ironic given the sheer size of these speakers. They are massive. But as large as they are, the craftsmanship is impeccable. The shift to a polymide compression driver in the midrange is immediately noticeable; the scale of the larger mid horn is perfectly complimented by the silky smoothness of that driver. Vocals and instruments are effortlessly natural, presented on a wide and deep soundstage. Imaging is tighter, particularly noticeable on good recordings. Bass is a bit different with the Cornwall. It’s bigger, cleaner and deeper, but initially feels weaker than the Forte. That might be due to the rear passive on the Forte creating extra bass reinforcement, or possibly the tuning with the passive or the prior crossover design creating a mid bass bump. However, the Cornwall feels more balanced overall and the bass feels more natural. Drums are ethereal. For double the price I paid for the Forte (it’s now priced higher), the upgrade was absolutely worth it. The music is bigger, more natural and lifelike, and more detailed. It’s more delicate and warmer, more nuanced.

  15. Hi everyone! I’ve been lurking for a bit and reading a lot around the forum. I’m looking to jump in with a WTB for Cornwall 1 or 2 or Chorus 2. I’m in the Washington, DC suburbs (MD) and work in Baltimore, so I am looking around these two areas. I’m aware of the one CW1 listed here already, but that is in flux. I’m also interested in @Laurie Cornwalls if/when she’s ready to sell. I figured it was reasonable to post a WTB just in case someone in the area is thinking about selling. Thanks for looking
  16. I just paid $900 for a pair of 1975 Cornwalls. I listened to them from a rather weak amp but it was still singing. the owner said his relative gifted it to him 2 years ago and it was taking up too much space. There is a 1inch chip on one side that is deeper than the Veneer. I wasn't sure if I should buy it, but realized finding a heritage Klipsch 10 minutes away while I was looking to find Forte or Chorus was a sign, so I pulled the trigger. The color is C-WO (oiled walnut?) What are the things I should look into when I bring this baby home? Did I get a deal or was it a ripoff?
  17. Hello, hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. I need to convert my CW3 Crossover network to H3. The CW3 kit was originally bought to experiment with my cornscala. Couple of years ago I upgraded my Hersey 1.5 to H3, with CW3 Xover and K28, K53Ti and K107 Tweeters. And for a while I used a Autoformer to lower the mid and tweeter section by 3db. Now instead, I am using a RME DAC's EQ to lower mid and tweeter by 3db. But this only solves digital sources. I would instead like to make the network a proper H3 network. I checked with Michael Crites, he does not have the schematics of either. If any of you have schematics of CW3 and H3 and since both the H3 and CW3 are no longer in current production, could you share them ? BTW, I am in the process of building a top section cabinet (trapezoid) as I like the higher soundstage with the mid and tweeter on top of the cabinet. Thanks & Cheers
  18. Hello Gentlemen, I am seeking a pair of EMPTY Klipsch Cornwall Cabinets. Please contact me a 65AmpsLondon2 [AT] GMAIL DOT com. Thanks, bob
  19. Local guy has a pair of vintage "Export, Oiled Walnut" Cornwall speakers for sale, but neither of us know what they are worth. Hoping I can get a few price quotes here, I would appreciate it. These are original Cornwalls, right? Not IIs. One serial = 15S398. Does the "S" mean '78? The driver seems pretty faded. Anything to worry about? Thank you! Tom
  20. Hi there I am a complete neophyte when it comes to audio and speaker details so I apologize up front. My mother has a pair of Klipsch Cornwall speakers that my uncle bought in 1988 and she got when he passed away. She is getting ready to move and I am helping her minimize the items she needs to move. Anyway, would love to get some advice on 1. A reasonable price to sell 2. Any other information I might need to obtain on the technical side I have attached some photos but will get some with both of them in one pic, it’s too difficult for my 83 yo mom to move.

  22. Hello K-peeps! Thank you for allowing me into your inner sanctum, I’ve enjoyed learning about Klipsch while gathering info on the speakers I am selling for a friend, but most of all I’ve enjoyed seeing that people are still passionate and excited about hobbies and things they enjoy for fun. So thank you for that breath of fresh air and... I am selling a pair of floorstanding Klipsch Cornwall speakers, CWO (Cornwall Walnut Oiled). They have consecutive serial numbers: 23U771 & 23U772 and per those numbers they were built in 1980 (learned that here!) All parts are original but they’re missing the Klipsch nameplates on the grilles. Cosmetically they could use some cleaning & refinishing. The grille fabric is fraying in spots and the cabinets have some surface scratches and paint scuffs but there’s no structural damage. My friend tells me they work fine but I’m sure they could use some upgrades. They are located in Bremerton, Washington for you to pick up but delivery and shipping are possible options that we can discuss, depending on your location. Asking $1111 (because it’s my favorite number) /obo (because it always says that)😁 Thank you for sharing your time, knowledge and lovely community! ~Brandie B.

  24. Hi all! I’m right outside of Nashville looking to buy a center for my heritage setup. I’ve seen people on here that have built a 3-way center with a mid and tweeter taken from either a Heresy or Cornwall donor. I’m super interested in a build like that! If not I’m looking for an academy or KV-4. I’m running Cornwall L/R and forte 2 surrounds and a KV-3 center in my 5.1setup. Right now and it sounds pretty good, but for those of us that frequent this page, pretty good ain’t gon’ cut it! Thanks in advance! Bobby Bobby 2 2 Times Times!
