kraemer Posted January 31, 2001 Share Posted January 31, 2001 I have the change to purchase some VERY used cornwalls. I currently own a pair and couldnt be happier. I want more. The only info I have on these cornwalls is the S/N and type: 5M473 and 5M474. Type CD-BR. By looking through the BBS, I determined that these cornwalls were made in 1974. What other info is to be known? What does the D in CD-BR mean? (My current Cornwalls are type CII-BR: Raw Birch Cornwall IIs?). Will these used cornwalls match (in sound) my current cornwalls (s/n of 8705192 and 8705191)? Any info is greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted February 1, 2001 Share Posted February 1, 2001 The 1974 pair would be Cornwalls, the 1987 would be Cornwall IIs. They have diffent woofer, squawker, tweeter, and crossover and will sound different. www.belgaudio.com has an informative report on Cornwalls (actually, they tested Cornwall IIs). A search of the Klipsch bulletin board archives will also return most or all of the information you seek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted February 1, 2001 Share Posted February 1, 2001 D style have no grills and the corners are butt-jointed with exposed ply edges.The CII have a much better tweeter.The bass and mids sound substantially the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
