garthbernstein Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) A beautiful pair of 1976 Klipch Cornwall speakers, Decorator edition, I purchased these four years ago from a guy who had them in storage for 30 years, they work 100% and sound great. I replaced both the tweeters and woofers with Crites replacements, and also replaced the original crossover for a B2 Crites crossover. I also upgraded the speaker posts, and upgraded the interior wiring with the famous Jena Labs wires. As the late Bob Crites said about these speakers: "they are the most souped up Cornwalls out there!" I'm sure some purists would not advocate the replacement parts, but in my opinion the Crites speakers and crossover are a tremendous upgrade while keeping the integrity of the Klipsch sound. These are consecutive serial numbers, 2S 237 and 2S 238, indicating a 1978 vintage. There are some superficial scratches on the top of one speaker, and overall these are in decent condition for their age, not perfect, but they look nice. Speaker risers included, happy new year!
