Mallette Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Posting this for SSH (Steve) who had the idea that developed into the current member-driven Pilgrimage. Like so many, his storage has been used up. Dave PappyIII and I left the Mustang behind and set out in the Yukon on a less-than-ninety mile drive to the Klipsch Museum. If you're not picking up something at the plant, the roads are great for a sports car or motorcycle. At the Museum, we had a fantastic visit with Historian Jim Hunter. If you haven't utilized the "Ask the Historian" section of the Forum, shame on you. He greets and entertains visitors with a friendly, but encyclopedic knowledge of Paul and all. We talked Jim into a lunch break at the Williams Tavern Resturant a short drive away. The three of us recommend it. The Old Washington Historical State Park is a great place to visit (with kids, too). Since we had an ulterior motive, Jim helped us with it. This is the second pair of speakers loaded. With help from a dolly and my neighbor, Early, they are about to take the place of a pair of LaS that I bought from Dee a few years ago. They look much better out of the boxes. Awesome! Hooked to a pair of top-of-the-line Marantz separates, the Cornwall IIIs seem to be as happy as I am. End of chapter, beginning of chapter.

ssh Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Thanks, Dave. The Regional Music Heritage Center is on my trip list. Might you post hours of operation/update on progress? BTW, El Dorado is beginning to have an awesome music scene with the opening (Sept. 28-Oct. 1) of the Murphy Arts District. I have tickets to ZZ Top, Train with Natasha Bedingfield, Brad Paisley, The Molly Ringwalds, and The Beach Boys. Smokey Robinson with the South Arkansas Symphony is a free concert on Sunday, October 1. SSH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Hope to have the building renovated and open for listening sessions on the Klipsch Heritage system by first quarter. Work on the bid now. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted September 10, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 10, 2017 Looks like a good trip, those Cornwall lll's look great, I love those grills with that color cabinet. Bet they have some bass set up like that, many have not heard the Cornwall lll, they really do sound great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted September 11, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 11, 2017 Always fun picking those up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssh Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 You're right, Eldon, they have impressive in-your-chest bass. I love my Khorns and LaS, but these will get most of my attention for awhile. Christy said that she thought the Cornwall IIIs were under appreciated, but that must be because folks haven't heard them. Especially at their price point, they are a tremendous bargain. Yes, Travis, as long as someone else is lifting, they are fun to pick up. Your meaning is clear, though, that it is an especially thrilling experience. Please support the museum; it supports us.

ssh Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Why, thank you Jim. I was wearing a back brace that day; maybe that's the reason. How's the canning going? SSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssh Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 These are now for sale to fund Jubs. Cornwall III Special Edition. $4000. Maybe 50-60 hours use. They're upstairs, and the Khorns are downstairs with the tubes and turntable. SSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssh Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Sadly, no. I have two litters of puppies in the house and one momma dog just had surgery on a leg. I haven't spun a record in two weeks, either. I did plant some peppers, though. SSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope momma dog and puppies are going to be fine. Edit; I have to say, when I first read this I didn't look at the date but seeing the first picture made me smile, and then feel bad at the same time. Some things aren't fair. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
