MATT0404 59 Posted September 14, 2019 Up for sale is a gorgeous pair of Klipsch Cornwall II's in very rare cherry lacquer finish. These are in fully functional condition and sound wonderful. I recapped the crossovers replacing all capacitors with Dayton 1% tolerance precision audio grade caps. All drivers are in perfect working condition. These speakers are ready for many more years of listening. There are some nicks around the outside front edge. These can be easily repaired or color matched to make them less obvious. Grills are nearly perfect and both badges are intact. Location: NW PA, between Pittsburgh and Erie Price: $1100 **SOLD** Shipping: Local pick up, or you arrange all transportation Trades: Possibly pair of quality SS stereo amps Reason for sale: Moving and only taking two bigs sets of speakers Condition can be seen here (sorry for the corny music overlay): Hear them here: 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

L Carl 0 Posted September 23, 2019 I've read the term "recapped" often as I've been looking to build out a new system, but I don't really understand what it means (sounds like re-soldering) or what the benefit might be. Could you define for me? Thanks, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack R 145 Posted September 23, 2019 I'm interested in these, they look great and at a good price. Getting them to Oregon.... hmmm, there must be a way to do it for a reasonable price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could you define for me? Thanks, Old Capacitors dry out and drift out spec. That means your tweeter, mid range etc start playing frequencies they are not supposed to play which degrades the sound quality. Typically, the old ones are cut out and new ones soldered into the network. The Dayton 1% caps are solid caps, nothing exotic but are more than sufficient for normal playback. Good luck to the OP with the sale, I think the price point is very much fair given the cap refresh and rare finish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frzninvt 550 Posted September 24, 2019 The woofers don't appear to be original the K-34 had a shorter decorator lip that sat flush to the motor board those look like K-33's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khornukopia 1567 Posted September 24, 2019 My original K-34 woofer lip pictured here looks about the same as the seller's. There could be slight differences in the recess depth during production runs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MATT0404 59 Posted September 24, 2019 They're K-34E woofers. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
