Tutor Turtle Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) I am looking to purchase Cornwal IV, the Cornwal III need to be sold. The cabinents are Walnut with stands in excellent condition. ALK extreme slope crossovers are installed with Bob Crites cast aluminum woofers. I saved all the old parts for those of you who perfer the stock sound. I will consider selling the crossovers separate: $1500/pair new, will sell for $1000. Bob Crites woofers $250/pair Sold listings on ebay for stock III's range from $3k- 4K, with $1700 in upgrades I am leaning more towards $4,000, unless you want an all stock unit. I'll knock off $800.. Shipping from new england will be at least $400. Original double layer boxes included.

Arm leg and left tenticle-- I believe fees are around 10% and that includes shipping costs so you sell your speakers at 4000 and have 400 to ship totalling 4400 fees will be 440. On top of that buyers in most states will have to pay sales tax at 10% so you have to figure that in on the sale price as well as far as how much someone will be willing to spend. So, you wanting 4000 in hand for you speakers someone would basically have to drop over 5000 to get you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I doubt anyone is willing to spend 600.00 more than the original MSRP to own a pair of CW IIIs. Best to sell local, IMHO.........

Shakeydeal Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I am pretty sure the retail for the III was 4400.00. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutor Turtle Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Thank you all for the feed back. I needed this to get a feel for the real market. No better place than here. I will sell them at $2,600, without mods, buyer pays shipping. Original shipping boxes and paperwork. Extra set of tweeter horns, new in box. ALK x-overs at half price, $750 (will not split up set) again, buyer pays the freight. I'll hang onto the Crite woofers for another project. If you all need pictures, please respond to this post. I am traveling, so it may take a couple days to get back to you. Again, thank you for your input. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pictures always helps a sale, good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dufftj Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Hello Tutor Turtle, for some reason the system wont let me message you directly. Interested in the x overs you have for sale. PM me a way to contact you off the forum. Thanks, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutor Turtle Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 Duffi, It may be you are still on some probationary period???? Your messages should be coming through. I think $750 (half price) is more than fair price. The reason I am selling them separate is most people want the Cornwal III's stock and/or they are not willing to cough up the extra $. The new Cornwal IV has a much improved x-over, so why mess with them (and voiding the warrenty)? These weigh about 38-40 lbs. Quite the impressive bit of engineering. See. http://www.alkeng.com/ Click on "Klipsch loudspeaker upgrades" > "extreme slope" scroll down for images. They are bigger than the picturse suggest. I followed Al's recomendation of 400hz and 5,800 hz. I waited 3 months for him to build, test and ship them. You will be blown-away by the clarity. They ship from 01862 I have the old paperwork, so I can see how much they cost to ship eight years ago. Paypal is the safest payment method for both of us, if you chose to complete this sale. I sent you a private message. let's see if that comes through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLWS........ Shakey I just finished building our retirement cottage (900sq') . If you remember the 1950's style hifi entertainment centers, they would build the speakers into the wall surrounded by bookshelves for the records, pictures and sculptures. The speakers being even with the face of the shelves. I built the room specifically to accommodate the Cornwal's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutor Turtle Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 Update on the sale of the Cornwal III. After changing the cross overs back to stock, I noticed a blemish on one of the cabinets. An exercise ball was touching the side and removed the finish about the size of a silver dollar. It is not discolored, and you can't even notice it unless you look at a 15º angle to the sun. As a result, I am lowering the price to $2,500.

Tutor Turtle Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 These were purchased about five-(six? ) years ago. I use a 50 watt tube amp to drive them, so no clipping issues. They are in 9/10 condition. Slight blemish were a rubber ball removed the sheen on one cabinet about the size of a silver dollar. No discoloration of the wood, but the finish is just plan missing. You have to look at 15º angle to the sun to even see it. otherwise you wouldn't know there was an issue. I'm am looking for $2,500 obro. Original boxes and papers.b you pay shipping from either 01862. or 03870. If you live in southern New England I could meet you half way. Payment via paypal.

Oh, tough day already, you are looking for the ALK information. Extreme slope @ 5800 + 600hz Selling them separate as most buyers of the Speakers are not the same people who want the ES x-overs. I want $750, you pay the shipping. Paypal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting a beater pair of LaScalas and depending on how trashed they really are I may go all the way with them. Not sure if these will work but I'll check them out. Thanks.
