Vertical Cornwall Decorators?

Estate sale near me. Can't really tell but I'm thinking that's the Klipsch pie logo and the pic appears to show a rounded shadow at the bottom.

 

Your thoughts?

The pie logo came in a bag with gold nails so the location was determined by the owner. The grills had to be added later on and did not come with the decorators, at least not in 1965 as mine did.

Think about this for a few minutes....remember this was prior to the La Scala REALLY entering the picture...So you want a center channel speaker for a three-speaker-stereo-array, but the Cornwall you WANT to use is pretty tall in the middle of the long wall...when you're sitting down in the middle of the couch in the "sweet spot"...and it just doesn't seem to blend too well with the K-horns flanking it in their corners...and the wife sits down beside you and MENTIONS..."how naked that entire wall seems to be, especially with that tall speaker in the middle of it...don't you think that a nice long table where it is would be more pleasing to the eye?"...so the wheels start turning in your mind...."HMMMM maybe she has a point here..."  So you decide, "what the hell, why not have BOTH in the middle of the wall?'"...so you lay the Cornwall on its SIDE...and go get that long narrow table in the hallway and find out it fits PERFECTLY over the Cornwall on its side...and the wheels in your mind start turning again...so you go to work the next day and start playing around with re-arranging the location of the woofer and horns' positioning on the motor-board...and before you know it you have a DIFFERENT Cornwall, which performs BETTER on its side...but which can still perform well standing up!!  So you take that prototype home with you...stick it under the long table...and in walks the wife, just as you are beginning to listen to the results...then she leaves for a few minutes and returns with a large table-cloth...arranges it on the long table with the front of the prototype NEW Cornwall hidden behind it...and the wife sits down beside you on the couch and then says to you....."Now, don't you think that LOOKS BETTER??"   You reply, "yes dear"...and you think..."and it SOUNDS better, too!"...as you smile and bask in your own wonderfulness...as you think to yourself..."now THAT wasn't too much of an ordeal, was it?"😉….for the time being, anyway...but little did you know what was coming a few years later!😁
