synthfreek Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I found a local listing for "SPEAKERS Klipsch Cornwall, glass tops, excel. $700". What do you guys think that means? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg928gts Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I think that sounds good. Many people have glass cut for the tops of their speakers so when they put plants or knick knacks on them, they won't get scratched. I'd look into it, they could be in great shape with a real nice wood finish and well worth $600 (after negotiating). Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Someone (I can't remember who) on this forum has glass tops for his lascalas (also full grills if I remember correctly) and they look great. Maybe someone could resurrect that pic for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipschfoot Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Glass tops is sooooo seventies. Vintage speakers - fine. Vintage furniture accents - Squaresville, Man. It is 2003. You must now use Silestone or Cambria to be "happening." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt1stcav Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I like nude...nude is good. I remember a late '60's cylidrical column loudspeaker called the Empire Grenadier Model 9000 that had a round marble top (the rest being walnut laminate). Don't know if the marble was original, or placed there by the owner, but it did look groovy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Nude, as in Matthew McConaughey on the bongo's. Oooh Duuuude, play babaloo for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was born in the 70's so it's "my" look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synthfreek Posted July 27, 2003 Author Share Posted July 27, 2003 I tried to call this person but the phone number seems to be disconnected. I tried all the area codes for the San Antonio area. Will I ever get my local Cornwalls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 So close, and yet so far. Keep trying...don't give up on owning some Cornwalls just yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBryan Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Glass tops were not offered by Klipsch so its an afterthought to protect the finish. Good idea. I have a friend who just picked up a pr of 25 yr old Belles in Teak with thick glass tops and they are beautiful. Hope you get in touch with the guy and take a look at the CWs soon.

KhornKerry Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 For what it worth I had 1/4" glass tops made for all 4 of my Khorns and Cornwalls, now I don't have to worry about scratches or water stains. When I got the Rosewood Khorn the tops had scratches and candle wax, I managed to remove all of the wax and most of the scratches by light sanding and re-oiling I wish the previous owner had used glass tops.
