(SPEAKERS ARE SOLD)Cornwall IIs - For Sale in Boston, All associated electronics for sale as well.

[KungFuNat]

Cornwalls are sold everyone..   The electronics are still available.

 

1987 Cornwall IIs and all associated electronics in Boston, MA.

Cash only, local pickup only. Come for a listen!

Selling my beloved 1987 Cornwall IIs, purchased from the original owner. Rebuilt crossovers, new titanium tweeter diaphragms and new mid-range diaphragms all from Bob Crites. Bob tested the drivers to make sure they were up to spec and matched. I hope they will go to someone who will love them like I do.

Well cared for in a smoke-free and pet-free home.

Some nicks and scratches on the cabinets, they look very good for their age. They sound incredible. In fact, I recently auditioned a pair of Cornwall IIIs and these sound very close.

Cornwalls - Asking $1300 cash only. All reasonable offers will be considered.


Associated electronics for sale as well:

I spent years assembling this setup, and all of these components are still highly regarded and pair perfectly with Klipsch speakers. I won't sell any of the electronics until the speakers go.. Hopefully someone will want multiple pieces. I will even throw in cables depending on what piece you want. Everything must go!

Acurus RL11 Preamp with working remote.. Discrete class A output, sounds great, works perfectly and excellent condition. Asking $350

Meridian 563 DAC. Sterephile Class B back in the day. 19 bits of resolution, sounds, works, and looks perfect. Asking $350

Nakamichi PA-5 STASIS power amp.. 100wpc. Nelson Pass design when he still worked for Threshold. Design was licensed to Nak. Sounds fantastic, Outstanding match for all Klipsch. Asking $550

Salamander Designs Archetype 5-shelf audio rack in Walnut. Absolutely perfect condition, about 1 year old. Asking $450

Marantz CC-4300 CD-changer. SPDIF output is intermittent but other than that, works fine.. $50

Send me a PM here and we can work out a listening session.. I can take pics of whatever you want if you need to see more.

Very nice.   Quality list of gear you got there. GLWS.  I was going to say welcome to the forum, but you've been here a long time I see.... 

[KungFuNat]

Much appreciated..   This forum really helped me assemble this system, so I hope it goes to someone who will give them a good home.

[MEH Synergy]

The nakamichi amp and the Cornwalls I agree would be an AWESOME match IMO.   That system is going to make someone quite happy. 

[KungFuNat]

I went through a bunch of amps to find the right pairing..  It was hard to find something that matches well, and wasn't too bright or harsh, but still powerful and clear.  When I was young the local dealer sold a lot of really nice tube gear, but he always paired his Klipschorns and Heresys with Threshold electronics..  He always said it was the perfect match.   That is where I got the idea, and he was totally right!

[MEH Synergy]

I had a nakamichi PA7 paired with first Gen RF7s and it was an excellent match.   That's the best they ever sounded when I had em. I got the amp from an older gentleman who had stored the amp in his closet for years.  Cooked brand new. Foolish to sell it when I was younger.... 

[KungFuNat]

Help me sell the Cornwalls and the Nakamichi can be yours..     It truly is a perfect match.

[MEH Synergy]

I'm on the west coast man otherwise I would love to take you up on that offer, very generous of you.   Shoot me for saying this, but if you don't get a bite soon on here or Craigslist (don't use the email, put your phone number if you want someone to buy them), put them on ebay when they charge 50% off final selling fee, or currently they had a $10 cap on selling fees.   I have had good luck getting rid of extra gear on ebay in the past.   Or.. If you want $1300 for example, list them for $1525 on ebay, local pickup only and you'll get $1300.  You can always have the offer button on. You will onyl get 86.5% of sale price.   Hope that helps?

Phone number in the craigslist ad?  really? I'm afraid of putting my number on the web..   I figure anyone who is serious about buying something like this would send an e-mail?

I have heard that several times on this forum.   I used to think that way myself, and then I realized that the average person appeared to be too lazy to email.  After adding a phone number, things sell quickly when priced right.   My paranoia has other things to worry about I suppose, but to each his or her own (I understand however).

So 1300 cash and carry?

Very Nice!

I love the STASIS amps and I only had an SR-3A with Heresy IIs when they came out.

The CWs look clean and the warm/natural Nakamichi/Nelson Pass is really good with Klipsch.

If things were different with me $ wise I'd grab a bar of paraffin, head up there and force those Cornwalls into my Accord!

[KungFuNat]

Well I want to be totally clear that the Cornwalls do NOT come with the Nakamichi...  That was a poor attempt at humor.

 

$1300 for the Cornwalls only. 

 

Of course, if you want multiple pieces, we can work out a deal.

[JohnJ]

Nate?

Ya couldn't stop me from dreaming that though! Again nice setup, and good luck to you.

[KungFuNat]

Still available...  Lots of interest, but no one has come to take a look yet..
