there's some sort of issue there -- the two tags have the same serial number and are written with different handwriting.  the serial numbers would be different, but sequential and i would expect the handwriting to be the same since they were manufactured together.

Yes, think that is when label printed...

Use the serial numbers for dating.

...K-601 resin midrange horns

 

I had a pair of these Cornwalls and a pair of Cornwall 2s in the same room at the same time.

 

The fellow I bought them from suggested we do a head to head when he delivered them.

 

Despite the different crossovers and flush vs. behind the motorboard mounted drivers we were both extremely hard pressed to hear a difference, at all volumes.

 

The engineers at Klipsch voiced the two incredibly well, it’s almost as if they knew what they were doing, lol.
