nivroc Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Hello all, new member here. I'm looking for a pair of Cornwalls that are in decent condition within a 150-200 mile radius of Birmingham, AL. They don't have to be visually perfect - just structurally tight and sound like the ones my old college roommate had back in the day. If there are any around, let me know. Thanks!

Woofers and Tweeters Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Hi Mike and welcome to the forum. Like you, I want a pair of Cornwall too. Good luck on your search 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Man everyone is wanting Cornwalls lately. I've thought of letting mine go lately since I never listen to them hardly. I'd have to talk to my wife about that one. She is pretty passionate about that pair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mungkiman Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Would you consider Chorus? No affiliation: https://bham.craigslist.org/ele/5681036796.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivroc Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Indeed I have considered it. I've been keeping my eyes on that very pair - he has them listed on eBay as well. Do you think $800 is a fair price, or should I hold out for some Chorus II or Cornwalls? A guy had some black Chorus II listed a few weeks ago for $1100, but that was a bit much for my wallet.

nivroc Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Well, I'd walk a mile for a Camel and drive 300 for a pair of Cornwalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bossman Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 i had the chorus ii's confused with the forte ii's for a minute there.. Forte II's stand no chance compared to a cornwall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivroc Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Opinion appreciated nonetheless! I'm still relatively new to audiophilia and all you Klipsch fanatics have infected me. I used to be a mild-mannered schlub, now I'm a schlub chasing the sound and scaring my pets in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmytamp Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I got my 1981 Cornwall exactly 2 years ago. The pair had travelled across more than 6000 miles from Philadelphia to Abu Dhabi. Love the sound out of it. Good luck on your pursue... Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossman Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Nivrock, have you replaced the caps on your 78 Heresys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
