mace Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Congrats on the Cornwalls. Nice packaging. I'm interested in hearing your review of the RF-7's compared with the Cornwalls! You know what I thought of my Corns and KLF-30's. Do you ever listen to Dream Theater or Joe Satriani?? Mace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale W Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 DEAN: That vault would make a great " beer " cooler for those backyard BBQ partys !!! Congrats on the speakers they look brand new . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v3spitfire Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Deang, you helped me out with bi-amping the Rf7s awhile back. Just thought I'd let you know, I took your advice and recently bought 2 scott 99d mono integrated amps for the heresey's. I have the best of both worlds now - tremendous, clean volume when I need it, and the soothing sounds of tubes when I'm veging out. Though I couldn't resist the look of the scott amps, whether I heard them or not... 22 watts perchannel, no less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted April 20, 2003 Author Share Posted April 20, 2003 Bumped for Dave -- who wanted to see what the inside of the Vault looked like. Don't worry Mike -- I told him when he's done with it, he has to ship it to you when you're ready. Consider this thing the Offical Klipsch Forum Member's Cornwall Shipping Container. My small payback to what this forum has contributed to my joy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Dean, What does it cost to ship that thing empty? fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted April 21, 2003 Author Share Posted April 21, 2003 Well, it depends on from where to where -- but dave just emailed me and said Forward Air estimated $60 from Dayton, Ohio to Portland, Oregon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triceratops Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Hey Dean, Can you tell me the external and internal dimensions of the box? Thanks! Best in horns, Triceratops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBM135 Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 So Dean, which sounds better with rock--the 299 with the Cornwalls or the Quicksilver with the RF-7s? Just curious....which is your favorite? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyKlipschFan Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 OK, even Miss Valerie might say wow,..... "An improvement to Paul's speakers." (Inside joke!) Well, maybe not, with the newer crossover, but I bet it is.. I am speechless. I am kinda anal retentive when it comes to cars, I like them extra clean, do regular maintenance and feel this holds their value too. Same with audio. Buy good stuff and take care of it..and it will take care of you too. I hope your coming to the Klipsch event, I would love to swap stories on what you did too. OUTSTANDING work!

Tom Mobley Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 egad, the original Cornwall vault post rises from the dead. A full year later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 so That's where it came from! thanks for posting the link. Fantastic workmanship in that vault and good of you guys to keep it in circulation. I wonder how many times it's been used? Everyone should have signed the lid of it as it toured the US! So old DeanO used to be a Cornwall guy, eh? How many systems have you been through man? Running a close second to Joe are ya? M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 The history of the mighty Cornwall Vault revealed. Now that is some dedication. And yeah, as CP1 says it would be too cool if signed and maybe location added with every trip. And from what I've read in a few posts, this Forward Air if close enough to both ends is like a fraction of the shipping goons rates if a terminal is close to both locations. It would be cool if the users even after the fact could sign with date (estimated year if the memory is fuzzy) Ken Krandazzo creator apparenlty 2003, Dean G 1st recipient ... and it still lives. And this thread resurrected by who else but CP1? 4 to 5 years after it's last post, that a post a year after the previous. And I've seen at least a thread or two and I've only been around here since May 2007. But they're not all crazy hon, their, their, dedicated and passionate, that's it, dedicated and passionate.

Batmans Robin Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 The funny thing is that people are impatient and want things NOW! So someone from the east coast buys speakers from the left coast and vice versa and if they had only waited, what 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, et cetera they could have purchased what they were looking for locally. I would never trust buying a heavy speaker through "the mail" (including UPS FED EX wHaTeVeR) I like to "kick" the merchandise and pick it up when paying CASH $$$$.

Audible Nectar Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 "The funny thing is that people are impatient and want things NOW!" NOOOOOOOOO, we want specific items in pristine condition and kept that way. Some of the specific models of Cornwall this vault has carried are the '74 pair that borne this vault (now owned by me and out of circulation for my lifetime), '68 verticals with original grills and pie slice logos (also OBMAOOCFML), '89 Cornwalls in Oak Oil, and many, many others - all PRISTINE and kept that way as this vault safely protected every single one of them. Even took a shot from a forklift once. Forward Air made this relatively cheap to ship, too - many, many Cornwalls safely delivered from this. The vault has had a productive life. This vault allowed forum members to choose which exact Cornwalls they wanted from a number of locations - and as experienced 2 channel forum members know, a Cornwall is not just a Cornwall - there were many finishes, model years, and some minor differences between the driver setups. Might take a while to find a rare pair locally - this solves the problem :-) And it is still available if anyone needs to use it - see posts in "Garage Sale" regarding this.

Batmans Robin Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 That's interesting. I didn't know there was such a fine sense of appreciation for exact specific models and variations shall we say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
