Tom Adams Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) Never thought I'd do this, but it's time to scale back and let someone else enjoy that which I have, yet no longer use too much. Like many of you here I'm gonna let the Klipsch faithful (and those new to Klipsch) have first crack at them. - Year model: 1973 - Serial No.: 2K655 & 2K656 - Woofers: Both original and in perfect condition - Mid Horns: Both original and in perfect condition - Tweeters: Both original and in perfect condition - Crossovers: Rebuilt using Crites components - Finish: Oiled Walnut. When I got them they had some minor water stain issues. I hand sanded to remove the spots, finished sanding both cabinets with progressively finer paper ending at 1500. I then hand rubbed I think three coat of boil linseed oil and buffed. There's only one issue on one cabinet that I'm not fond of and that's a bit of Walnut banding coming loose. Honestly, I've just been too lazy to repair it. Plus, it's on the lower corner and one can't see it from 3 feet away. I'd give them a 9 out of 10 for that reason. - Other: I installed additional speaker connectors in order to use banana plugs. However, the original speaker connectors are still in place. They also have risers. Asking: $1000 for the pair, but I'm open to offers. Just don't insult my Cornwalls (they're sensitive) and say you'll take them off my hands for $800. I'm willing to negotiate shipping and/or delivery. I live just outside of Savannah, GA. Sorry I've not included photos, but the speakers were too shy to have their picture taken. I think their Dad knows he's trying to find them a good home. I will post some pics and will email more if you're interested. Since I don't hang out here much, please email me at one of two addresses: td3adams@centurylink.net -or- tom.adams.iii@gulfstream.com If you wish to talk, just send me a message and I'll get back to you. Thanks!! Tom Edited September 16, 2015 by Tom Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Adams Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) I managed to catch the Cornwalls sleeping and shot a few photos. Left one first. Edited September 7, 2015 by Tom Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEUS121996 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 It's getting close to the insulting price of $800. I'm glad I don't have a need for them Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
