Gorm Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 So I took up Nailbender on his offer of his old Cornscala boxes which he build from this thread: http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/163096.aspx?PageIndex=1 My Dad was headed out his direction and I had them pick them up for me. Here are some pictures of the transformation: Component Shot: After Oak Veneer: Each speaker was veneered in Oak Veener with 2 coats of Minwax Early American and One could of Minwax light walnut. This was followed by 3 coats of Gloss wipe on Poly. This was then wetsanded and polished. The veneer did not go on as easy this time, and many problems with the iron were only found out after the stain had been applied. They do look very good despite the problems. The cane grills were replaced with replacement cloth from Crites. They are held on by magnets and include laser logos. Components inside include the following. Crites CT125s Crites 15" Cast Iron CW1526Cs Klipsch K-55-Vs dual Phase (soldered version) Squawks. ALK AP12-600/ AP15-6000 Networks. The 600hz transition is point works very well in the Cornscalas. They are being powered by a completely rebuilt/restored Fisher 500C Tube Amplifier. Just got done with them tonight, can't wait to move them back into the listening room.

Gorm Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Before anyone asks, that is sound deadening around the horn in order to better air-seal it to the box. The original cut out was too big for the wood horn so I had to improvise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I bet the sound is fabulous. Congrats. Great looking, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nailbender Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I just can't get my wife to unleash that much money on crossovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorm Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Looks great. Great job!!! What crossovers are you using? Looks like an AP-12 and ES-5800 Close, its the Gentle slope equivalent. I don't have a big enough room or can pump in as much volume I would need for the ES series. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
