CWOReilly Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I just use the barrier strips as they are. Considered installing modern binding posts. Just haven't gotten around to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 There is one of those stand off type that some use here on their barrier strips. They are cool. You would need four. Others know and say they work well. Also used on their electronics. Using bare wire, you must indeed be careful with the strands of wire between the +and--. Will see if I can find a pic...

Connector are ok for the next 100 years , it's just a connection to a wire ---I would replace the wiring before the connector -the Crossovers may have already been upgraded if the speakers sound good ----if you're not happy , then open the back and post a picture -- -finally you have the risers on the speakers , you dont need anything more ---they are as high as they should be 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO1 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 @murad the Onkyo P304 has 2 models - a USA model / 120 V power supply and a Worldwide model with a switchable Power Supply for 120V or 220V ----if the Power supply switch is on 120V and you plug in 220V --- it damaged the main fuse for sure ..............then the transformer , then the diodes - there is 1 main fuse in the P304 -you need to remove the top cover , locate the fuse , check for charring in the transformer and circuit board -there is a 1A (ST6) Primary fuse for the USA P304 , and a 0.5A --SE- EAWK. Primary fuse for the Worldwide P304 - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not the Dynamat , they´re good for car audio damping but really not to dampen the horn body. They got an aluminium surface that increases the reflections in the cabinet. Just my own experience while I modified my RF7 EvoTec. I´ll prefer bitumen slabs . These are very easy to cut and are self-adhesive on one side. Just in case that you consider a damping solution for the horn bodys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron167 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I was watching these form “best offer” to the $1000 obo change to the ad. I saw the chip and lack of badges, but considering the age, they looked good. Glad they sounded OK and you got them at a fair price. As others have said, don’t rush into any changes to crossovers. Focus on getting them cleaned up to your liking and then really focus on placement. Listen to them a lot. I was never really happy with mine until I started using them as my front mains in my HT setup. Yes, this is not only my worthless opinion , but a warning to not have your expectations too high for Cornwalls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grils do not have the Klipsch insignia on them and are pretty filthy, any way to clean them? seems like these babies have been left in a basement and gathered some spiderwebs here and there, haven't opened the backs yet, and kinda scared to find it infested.
