Al Klappenberger Posted April 27, 2001 Share Posted April 27, 2001 Hi guys, The Cornwall replacement crossover network is ready and I have updated the downloadable design file on my web site. If anyone is considering building it, there have only been a few minor changes. I have made the mounting board a little larger for example. There is also a good top view picture that will help with the wiring. NOTE: This network design is only for Cornwalls that have the K77 tweeter. The Cornwall II uses the K79 tweeter and is NOT compatible with this design. The URL is: http://www.alkeng.com Al K.

Chris Robinson Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 Hey folks, I've swapped a few emails with Al, and we need to batch up enough interest in these networks for him to do an initial build. If you have any interest at all, now's the time. I'm on a waiting list that needs to get a little bigger before he start them up!

Charles Turner Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 I added a request for 2 crossovers today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Songer Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 I've been living with the "original" ALK Cornwall networks for about 5 months now and I have to tell you they are really something. WOrth every penny. Just for kicks I put the original X-overs back in over the weekend and was blow away with how HARSH the midrange seemed to me. And the attack of a plucked bass string is just so clean and crisp with Al's networks. I love them--so anyone "on the fence" should jump right now, as these are a real bargain. They WILL make a difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted May 30, 2001 Author Share Posted May 30, 2001 Thanks Allan! AL K This message has been edited by Al Klappenberger on 05-30-2001 at 07:57 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 Al's right, he didn't put me up to this, I did it on my own. In reading through Cornwall threads over the last six months, I know that there are many potential customers for these ... and I'm sure they really are worth the money. So spread the word. Believe me, Al is doing this as a labor of love ... doing these networks is not going to put a new wing on his house (Al, please correct me if I'm wrong ) ------------------ Denon AVR-3800 McIntosh MC-2105 (Fronts) Toshiba SD-3109 DVD Klipsch Cornwall I's (LF/RF) Klipsch KT-LCR © Klipsch Heresy (RR/LR) Klipsch KSW-12 sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted May 31, 2001 Author Share Posted May 31, 2001 Chris, Your's right. I make enough money form them to make building them worth it, but that's all. Take a look at North Creek Music's upgrade for B&W speakers. They charge nearly 3 times my price for a set! It's my way of seeing to it nobody else will steal my design and undercut my price. They would starve doing it! AL K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted May 31, 2001 Share Posted May 31, 2001 Al, just for grins I went looking for a website on them but couldn't find one. Can you pass along a URL for me to check out? Thx.

Pete C Posted May 31, 2001 Share Posted May 31, 2001 I am on the fence. My Cornwall is still in the garage. It would make a great middle channel for my LaScalas. (I've discussed it in other Cornwall threads.) It is black raw birch, so it would need finishing to meet the WAF. I've also never built an adapter to run the third channel, and, now that I've seen Al's adapter, the bar has been set a little higher.

Al Klappenberger Posted May 31, 2001 Author Share Posted May 31, 2001 Chris, Try this: http://www.northcreekmusic.com/801web.html Pete, The Cornwall makes an excellent center speaker so long as you don't have a TV set there! It's too big to put on top of a TV, and not big enough to set the TV on top of it! Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormin Posted June 23, 2001 Share Posted June 23, 2001 Hiya Al, Have you ever thought of a similar crossover design for the chorus II's? It's probably a situation where you would have to own each speaker to do a crossover network for them. I wasnt sure if you owned a pair of chorus II's or not. Sounds like your network for the cornwalls is becoming a big hit,congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted June 23, 2001 Author Share Posted June 23, 2001 Stormin, Yep, you got it.. I have to have a set to modify them. There's a lot of important details involved, like where to drill the mounting holes! 8^) Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
