HenryL. Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Hello to all.I've been reading for awhile and deciced to ask a question.I've got a Fisher 400 receiver modified at 2b audio.It uses EL 34's now. Although I haven't heard the Cornwalls from what I'm reading they sound like a good match.Am I right or is there another Klipsch speaker that would match up better?Thanks.

JohnA Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 The K-horn would always be better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill H. Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Henery L, First off welcome to the form. All questions about audio products are always welcome. Although I only have the Lowely KG 4's, to me they are powerful enough, and preform excellently, guess it boils down too what your comfortable with!. if I may ask, where you from in IL?, i Live in Terre Haute, IN............................

Not the same output tubes but I am sure you will be more than happy with the match. Laters, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssh Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Henry, Welcome to the Forum. Any of the Heratige line will be a good match.Right now there is a pr of Cornwalls for sale on the forum for $800.It's been said in that thread that they probably won't last long. Looking at the pics, I agree. They would be an excellent match. SSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryL. Posted November 27, 2003 Author Share Posted November 27, 2003 Thanks for the replies.I think the K-Horns would be too much money at this point.For some reason I've got Cornwall's on my mind.I'm looking for a pair locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Any of the big ole horns would be a match for your amplifier set-up. Horns love tubes. Dont forget the LaScala and the Belles. With their larger midrange squawker, they are also superb choices for a large and clear image with tubes. Chorus models also come close to Corny performance and can sometimes be found for less than half the price of the Cornwalls... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 There are also those of us who wouldn't trade our cornwalls for any other model. Corns have a unique sound you don't get in any other heritage speaker. Not necessarily better or worse but different. They all are great speakers and I'd go for a listen if I were you and had the same generous offer. My guess is you'll love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBK Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Hi, I too live in Lombard and unfortunately must sell my Cornwalls! From what I've read these have the B crossover (Oil Caps - big military grade monsters!)They were orginally the Raw Birch Cabs - I had them redone in book matched zebrawood - they have one minor cosmetic flaw on one cabinet - sound is unbelievable - really hate to give them up. I can check the serial numbers - but I bought them in 1984 - used them with a McIntosh C22 preamp and MC240 power amp - all tubes. Looking for $1000.00 for the pair. Also selling the Mac equipment if any one is interested. I have pics to share Regards, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkBK Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I can take some tonight when I get home. Just a note on the zebrawood - I purchased the veneer at a woodworking show direct from a veneer mill - beautiful and quartersawn too! Being a newbie here - can I post on the site or should I just email to you direct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
