Jed Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I have a pair of Klipsch Cornwall speakers, they are birch plywood and from what I've read here they are not worth very much. The serial numbers are 27W643 and 27W644. Any information about them that you could share with me would be appreciated. Jed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HudsonValleyNoah Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 The "W" in the serial # tells us 1981 is its' birthday. Not worth much is a relative thing. It depends on condition and location. What state are you in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 The "W" makes yours 1981 Vintage...Birch Plywood usually means they were Birch Raw when sold...they are still Cornwalls...just sold in the Birch Ply to be stained to match whatever decor the buyer wanted to match...pics would be nice...edited to add...Noah types faster than I do...[] Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Down in Texas, condition good from my point of view. The top of one is not as smooth to the touch as it used to be, still sounds good, everything is original. Jed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HudsonValleyNoah Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 1) Where the heck did you read that were not worth much? 2) Like the fellow said, those are Cornwall's so they have value. 3) You are in a good location if you are looking to sell them, if they are in (truly) good shape, you might hope to get $400 to $600 for them. Last year you might have gotten more for them but the market is somewhat down... With the right buyer, you might get more (if you are willing to wait for him...) If you are looking to sell quickly, you might expect a $400 price tag might force a buyer to jump on them... Good luck! Noah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Nice pair in good condition (usually not the BR's though) can fetch up to $700 or more dependent upon the finish, veneer type, etc. Right now it's a funny market, mostly a buyer's market.

Jed Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 I did read something like that in this forum. The birch self finished Cornwalls were not as desirable as better woods, factory finishes in pristine condition. Certainly understandable in as you say "a buyers market", wish I could have afforded a better wood when I purchased them. An early post said I should post a picture, I need to do that.
