Hi Jim,

I have recently purchased a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls and would love to establish their provenance. Its from a deceased estate so asking the original owner will be a problem and they have been sitting idle for 15 years but here is what o know. They were purchased in melbourne ,Australia in Jan.1985 and of the three drivers (pardon my ignorance) the smaller has a number on it 14 824 -0137 and below that K 77 M and the middle is K 52 K and below that 8328. Cant make out the bass ,sorry. Any info on their hustory would be greatly appreciated

Regards, Steve

The codes won't help him as that practice stopped in 1983.  If they are 1983 or older the year is expressed as an alpha character in the S/N and they will have the S/N stamped in the top edge in the rear of the speaker.  If they are 1985 models the S/N will start with "85" and the drivers he listed makes them what the forum calls Cornwall 1.5's since they are right before the transition to the Cornwall II in 1986.  They will have K-33 woofers and most likely B-3 crossover networks.

Hi Steve.  It looks like your question has been answered about as well as possible with the information at hand.  It's possible the actual serial number could reveal more, but if it is indeed a 1985 unit, not much more will be available.
