mark1101 Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Here is another shot. If anyone sees anything they like, we can get offline and discuss. I would like to upgrade to K-horns (corns + $$), or second choice, score another really nice looking late model pair of Las. Trade anyone?

DVois Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Hey Charles, I would consider some kinda of swap for the 62's with the 68's they would compliment my 67 KHorns well. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lshannon Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 In addition to selling the vertical Cornwalls, he is also selling his dad's Cornwall IIs (1990).

jt1stcav Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Holy cow, his dad will have a fit when he finds out what his son's up to. My Cornwalls technically still belong to my dad up in CT, but since my folks have no room for them in their townhouse, he just gave them to my youngest brother at the time (and later I traded my bro my Magnepans for our dad's Cornwalls, and my bro's as happy as flies on sh1t). I would never sell the family Cornwalls...even after my dear ol' dad has bought the farm, I'll never sell or trade the Cornwalls! If I ever get the opportunity to purchase used Klipschorns, I'll just find another use for the Cornwalls! ---------------- On 7/23/2003 10:52:12 PM garymd wrote: Hey Jim, Is that MC2100 permanent?

If he ever does decide to sell his MC2100, then he knows I'm gettin' my MC250 back...period! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edster00 Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 mark1101, Thanks for posting the photos. I don't have anything to trade at this point in time, so I'll have to pass on your Cornwalls. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVois Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Charles, 3 days left on Cornwalls. Your almost there. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 DVois, I will be taking over for Charles on the 68's in RI. If I'm successful on the bidding, Charles will purchase my Corn's in OO. However, I might be interested in trading for your 62's though. What finish are they? and What's their condition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBusa Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 mark1101 why do your cornwalls have risers on them if they are meant to sit on the long side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodog Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 ok.. you guys are nuts for these speakers. But having owned a pair for 3 weeks now, I'm beginning to understand why. Forrest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted July 26, 2003 Author Share Posted July 26, 2003 Having owned a pair for 23 years I can't understand why everyone doesn't. They're so cheap these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbert Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 10-4 Doug, got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 The corns came with the risers on them when I bought them. I use them in the upright position mostly. I have laid them down on carpeting on occasion however. The risers unscrew and can be removed if need be. AS I look at them, they look like a factory job, not some add ons. This comment is based on the heavy dutiness and consistency of the mounting hardware (looks like typical Klipsch stuff) and countersinking bores into the riser woodwork. They are really on there.

jhawk92 Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 So do we have a winner here on the forum? They sure look sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Gilbert, my brother in law is the proud new owner of the '68 Verticals. That means I get his newer Cornwall II's from him. Hopefully we can get Fini's Cornwall Vault II up to Boston, MA since the original vault is going to be in for servicing/maintenance. Help! Sorry, Chris R. looks like they will never see their potential now since they are going to be used in a HT setup with sub-par components by a little ole' company called Krell. Looks like "one of the better posters" wont be enjoying them in his 2-channel setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Frozen, congrats to your brother-in-law! I'm sure he'll really love them. I hope you didn't take my remark to mean they won't sound wonderful in an HT setup. They will! I love mine right where they are. These speakers will rock the house, esp. with some big amps like you have. My only point was that the best I've heard mine sound was with flea-sized SET amps. They aren't for everybody, surely. Congrats again, enjoy, and turn up the volume! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Yes, I do agree they would probably leave a much greater impression on you if they were performing by themselves in a nice tube powered 2-channel set up since they would be the only stars in the show. They will actually be working in conjunction with a pair of '67 Verticals and a pair of '90 Khorns. One of these days I would like to hear a tube powered system with Klipsch's to see what I may be missing I just have not had the opportunity sorry to say.

fini Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Charles, Have you gotten in touch with lshannon in regards to the Cornwall crate? I can send his email if you need it. fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I did Fini, but he abandoned the crate at the shipping facility and loaded the Corns in his Honda Accord. I wonder if they by some remote chance still have it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
