venaka Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Well I took the bullet and got these cornwalls, that are in very nice condition, BUT I just noticed different serial #'s..One has 19T550 and the other 19T592..The guy said he had traded these a while back from the original owner..Did I get juked..Would there be a difference in sound? Am I freaken out for no reason?. Anyways I payed six and they were dropped off.. heres a pik and ill be driving them from a fresh scott 48 reworked by hot glass audio.

Moderators dtel Posted August 24, 2011 Moderators Share Posted August 24, 2011 I think you got a great deal from looking at the pic they look nice, serial numbers really mean little, there going to sound the same. The worst that could happen is the wood grain don't match exactly which also happens on matched pairs. How do they sound, should be good with those electronics, you did good !

Ironsave Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I would not worry excessively that they do not match. My Heresy Is do, but my JBLs do not. If they sound great and look great; that's #1 on my list........ Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted August 25, 2011 Moderators Share Posted August 25, 2011 Glad you like the sound, it's all that really matters. Anyway you are lucky, serial numbers that are off by 2-41 are not good at all, your are off by 42 your perfect because 43 and on is not really worth having there just to far off to mess with. [Y] Sound silly considering the sound coming out the front doesn't it ? [][] You got a good deal on some really nice looking speakers, ignore the sticker #.

venaka Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Not to start another thread..One question. Howards or Tung Oil for a refinish..And what for the speaker grills (they look faded). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Howard's, tung, Old English, Watco, etc. Each has a different characteristic, effect on hue, and maintenance requirements. Pick one, but stay with it. I use Watco, diluted 10% with min spirits, and also Old Engish Lemon oil for the monthly "quick wipe" as it leaves no residue after the wipe. Grill cloth..... If they are faded, they are faded. The grill cloth is made from a polyolefin resin thread that has a color when made, and by consequence if it changes color, it cannot really be "restored" as it does not have "pores". You are kinda stuck with two options; replace the cloth (see: http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/110684.aspx ). You can.... if you are good at it.... spray them with Krylon flat black to get a couple more years out of them. Trick is to spray very lightly, and allow to dry for at least 24 hours. Before you do that el-cheapo trick, they should be thoroughly cleaned with a brush, and vacuumed. [H] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plink Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Is Ryan still doing restorations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
