DaMuffinMan Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I have included some pictures of my Cornwall's that I recent acquired. I have a few questions. Are the speakers and crossovers etc the original ones? Are the Tweeters woofers horn the "desired" ones? If a "recap" was done what does that entail parts and tools wise? Thanks.... #keeponrockininthefreeworld Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Everything looks to be correct for the Cornwall, including the crossover. You can order a crossover kit for DIY from Bob Crites, or you can purchase new crossovers from him, or you can send yours for him to do the work.

Schu Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 That cross over has already been recapped...has it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMuffinMan Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 How can I tell Schu, They sound awesome and I really don't want to mess with them if I don't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I dont see anything on those that "needs" attending to... just listen and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 No, that is in original crossover. Recommend you recap those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMuffinMan Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Just replacing the capacitors, (I can do that) I have built speakers and know how to solder etc. What specific capacitors need replacing? What type crossover do I have, B, B-2, B-3 ? These are considered Cornwall 1, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 The crossover type is marked on the metal strip on the side of the crossover board. Yes, they are Cornwall I. You should replace all of the capacitors. You can order them from Bob Crites, or from Parts Express, or elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaMuffinMan Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Or is it on the board itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Is it not mounted on a separate board? The side of the board should have a metal strip that says Klipsch, and then the indicators for the connections. It looks to be a B3 to me, maybe someone else can chime in.

djk Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 That's what I call a Cornwall 1.5 with the K52K mid driver with the 70µF woofer cap and 12dB tweeter crossover. Those sounded pretty good, and I had several customers bring in their older Cornwall speakers and paid to have them updated. I bought all the take out parts, K55V and type 'B' networks.
