juniper8 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 A friend was looking for klipsch speakers and lost out on some heresy speakers so I gave him my 1980 Cornwalls. The sad thing is these types of cornwalls CBR's were everywhere when I first started playing again with audio about a year and a half ago. Now that I am looking for a nice pair cbr 1.5's of course they are no where to be found! Before I sent them on their way I painted the bases black, staind the motorboard black, it was a little dull from age, installed a hard rock maple brace and added Mr. Crites caps (thanks BOB) I must say they sounded better then they ever did!

juniper8 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Some of the prettiest birch Cornwalls I've seen. Beautiful amber glow. Go get 'em back. when I was done working on them they were impressive, I tried to sell them twice for 700.00 but never had any interest. These were in like new condition when I bought them other than dusty, they were sitting for over 10 years unused, the first ding they had was when I was walking them out the door of the previous owners house! when my friend sells them someday I insisted that he puts them up for sale here first.

Moderators dtel Posted September 21, 2011 Moderators Share Posted September 21, 2011 That was a really nice thing to do, and if he don't appreciate them tell him your going to replace them with some bose, that way the name can impress his friends if nothing else !

juniper8 Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Thats funny, I dont think he does "appreciate" from what he has told me on how they are placed in his house. I think he is missing the little big picture as far as sound stage, imaging and depth of field and the "playability" these speakers have to offer, they are very forgiving on most recordings. But we all have too start somewhere, the Cornwall is a good act to start with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psg Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 You are a GREAT friend. I hope he appreciates them the way we do, and may be agree to resell them back to you. Kwing You can't resell what wasn't sold in the first place. If he doesn't like them, I hope he gives them back! - What do you mean by he doesn't appreciate them from where he placed them? That they are not working out in his room, or that he is just dumping them somewhere and doesn't care? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
