fyounce Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hello All, I am considering selling my Cornwall II speakers I purchased at Home Entertainment Inc. in Houston, Texas. Am hoping to see if you would be so kind to suggest a price point and suggest where I might start on this quest. These speakers were the 20,158th and 20,159th units built, built in 1979. I am the original owner and have the paperwork to prove it. These are in the raw wood with ¼ smoked glass tops. They are in excellent working condition with very little to no blemishes. Thanks and hope to hear something soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusaDude Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) You may also want to post this in the "garage sale" section of the forum (see link below)... Either as a "For Sale" item or that you're requesting/needing some information. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/forum/63-garage-sale/ Edited February 16, 2016 by GPBusa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fyounce Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Thanks for your info, I called the support center in Hope AR this morning. They looked up the serial numbers and told me they were Cornwall II's. Plus I have a Brochure I received when I purchased them and that too says Cornwall II. Thanks for all the input everyone. Yes I am in the Houston Area. Posting Pictures of the back, will call Klipsch Support again tomorrow. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Drivers mounted to the backside of the motor board are indicative to Cornwall 1s, as is the manufactured year of 1979. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow#422 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Welcome to The Forum. "T" = 1979 = version 1's. Pricing history for "like-kind" items can be researched quite easily within the forum's postings. FWIW - I highly recommend that you research on your own & arrive at a list price you feel is warranted, versus taking general suggestions. Good luck with your sale - should you decide to part ways with them. Edited February 17, 2016 by Arrow#422 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Surely Mr. fyounce knows what he bought new from a dealer. He has the paperwork and a brochure from the time, and Klipsch, Inc. tech support backs him up on these being Version II. But the other evidence doesn't lie either, the physical makeup of the speaker, and the Serial Number. How can this difference be reconciled? Bizarre.

fyounce Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Yeah, looks like I've got egg on my face with this one. Thanks for you input all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Sorry Mr. fyouce, I didn't mean to imply it was you who was wrong about which version you had. I just looked at it as a mystery to be solved. So it is now determined you have Version 1? Nothing wrong with that, they are still very desirable on the used market.

fyounce Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Well thank you, was kinda feeling kind of puny after the last one. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twk123 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Well thank you, was kinda feeling kind of puny after the last one. LOL Welcome to the Forum! Dont worry about it man, people here literally eat, sleep and breath Klipsch Heritage products. On a more important note, if you are not selling them for financial reasons you should seriously think about keeping them and refreshing the crossovers with new Capacitors. There are many other mods you can do to these speakers and the community here can help you every step of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusaDude Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 For reference, here is a link to the Cornwall II page on the Klipsch website. http://www.klipsch.com/products/cornwall-ii-floorstanding-speaker As you can see, and as others have mentioned, the Cornwall II has the drivers mounted from the front. Unfortunately the Klipsch website is being updated, so the page for the original Cornwall doesn't appear to have the correct picture right now. And just to clarify... The serial numbers for your speakers are: 21 T 568 21 T 569 With the letter "T" signifying the year of manufacture. These serial numbers should also be stamped into the wood on the back side of the speaker (the edge of the plywood). The "C-BR" stands for Cornwall Birch Raw. If you have the paperwork you received with the speakers, post a photo and maybe that will help explain the confusion. In any case, from the photos and serial numbers you provided, they look to be original Cornwalls and not Cornwall II's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckAb3 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Welcome!! As you can see, this is a very helpful group of folks. You'll have no problem selling these speakers with a bunch of pics and good pricing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
