cnguyen Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I can order the new Cornwall III xover for $104 each from Klipsch. I would assume better sounds for my Cornwall II. Has anyone try to do this? Thanks Charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 That certainly was a concise thread. Took all of 30 seconds to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnguyen Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 I don't see anytthing significant from the thread you included. Regardless of what drivers K uses the drivers will need to output anywhere from 38hz to 20khz. if I am correct the IIIs has bi-wire option with rectangular plate terminal while the IIs has a round one. The Cornwall design was/is so good that very little change happens over the year. I can order from Klipsch the new xover for the IIIs for $104 each brand new. Now with the new xover from the IIIs I wonder if I could hear the difference between the IIs and IIIs $900 vs $4000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't find it significant, you either didn't read it carefully, or did not understand it. A crossover network is engineered to match the drivers and the acoustics of a specific speaker. Both have changed from the C-II to the C-III in significant ways. Simply connecting a newer network into a speaker isn't going to magically give it better sound. If you have the knowledge, you could modify the C-III crossover to better match the C-II speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
