TommyK Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Greetings, about 9 months ago, at the recommendation of board members here, I started bidding for Cornwalls on Ebay. Just about any decent looking pair within driving distance got my low ball bid. And what do you know - I finally won! I pick up the CBRs tomorrow. The serial numbers are 30W067 & 30W068. Can anyone tell me the vintage for my new babies? I searched the archives to no avail. Thanks, TommyK The Cornwalls will go head to head against my Hartley Holton As (full range v front loaded horn) in a sound-off over the next month to see who gets pole position in the family / listening salon. I will drive them with EL 34 PP amp by Signature Technologies with the matching Proteus Preamp. I will also be swapping in Bottlehead Parabee 300B sets with Foreplay Pre - though I am worried about gain with the added efficiency of the Cornwalls. If anyone is in Northern New Jersey and wants to come by for listen - give me a holler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piranha Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 That's great news! Congratulations. Those are 1981 Cornwall Birch Raw that you are getting. Enjoy them, as the rest of us do our big ole horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Hey Tommy! Welcome to the world of Klipsch. As a brother Cornwall lover, I like to give all new owners this little article to read (ok, its a little lengthy). In a nutshell, this group put the mighty Cornwall through its paces and proclaimed it one of the most accurate, efficient, cleanest speakers EVER designed. http://www.belgaudio.com/kcmap.htm Enjoy the reading and the tunes! Stay tuned, I'm currently compiling a list of Cornwall modifications (see mods forum). Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
