Jeff's Eight Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Does anyone know what was different from a standard Cornwall? Thanks, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjptkd Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 There's a set on eBay right now ($4500) pictures look like a pro version of the Cornwall II with the k-57 mid and k-79 tweeter. Looks like the same dimensions as the Cornwall just a pro cabinet and woofer, I'd guess the crossover is adjusted for max output and power handling which would mean higher crossover points but not 100% sure on that. https://www.ebay.com/itm/KLIPSCH-C-P-1-PRO-CORNWALL-SPEAKERS-7-000-00-NEW/222689501317?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRH Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Yes, the CP-1 was the pro version and quite rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brac Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I know it's an old post, but what is a set of these actually worth? There is a pair in so-so shape on CL I was thinking the $6000 price was a typo but $600 don't seem right either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brac Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 looks like I could get them for $1500 or so, of course the question is what would I be able to get for them a year or 2 down the road when I wanna do something different....

After you are done playing with then donate them to the Klipsch Museun if Audio history, take the tax deduction for full fair market value, then find something rare and cool again with refund check, and repeat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryC Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Fascinating history of the Cornwall! Wasn't it evolved from the Shorthorn, changing the back from back-loaded horn to rectangular box but keeping the slot in the back for the time being? That's what it looks like, with the Shorthorn front panel design (a typically beautiful PWK design). It kept the same driver complement, too, at least until E-V discontinued the superior alnico 15WK -- a move that hurt the sound quality of K-horns and Cornwalls for a time, as I recall. Who are the two men in the front of Bldg. 122? Larry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
