colterphoto1 Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 my guess from literature might be a Quartet. It had a 12" passive and 10" woofer, but two horns, maybe the guy bypassed the mid cause the K76 high is bout 2x4. Cabinet dimensions would be 31 x 16 w, x 12 1/4 d if that's the case. Looks about that ratio. The guy may be measuring the outside of the surround as well, his dimensions are odd. Regular Chorus had 15 woofer, no sub bass, Chorus II was 15" w + 15" sub bass so I don't think it's either of those by his dimensions.

3dzapper Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 The picture doesn't match the description does it? The woofer most probably is 15" he is measuring across the cone not the basket. Many sellers describe the 12" Hersey woofer as 10.5". What he calls the "woofer" is really the squaker. I've never seen a rectangular woofer. 25" across the face sounds like a Corn to me. But, What is with the "metalic grill infront"? There is something definately wrong here. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I wrote the guy last night asking him if he was sure it was a Cornwall. He wrote back that he was sure. Oh well, wont be the first time something was misnamed on ebay. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born2RockU Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I live in a Houston...so, I will see if this guy will let me come inspect. I am looking to upgrade my system w/ a set of Cornwall's !!! What a great opportunity for me, if these are right at my door-step. (saves major $$$ on shipment and all the carrier worries) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeritageBob Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Well I measured my Chorus II and Forte II real quick. None of the measurements match up with them, and a Quartet would definitely not match either, it being smaller. The Chorus II is taller than his height and the Forte II is shorter than his height. The width of 25" is WAY longer than the width on either of the two. So my educated guess is he might just have Cornwalls, but he posted a picture of a Chorus/Forte/Quartet for some reason...A Cornwall owner would have to chime in with measurements possibly to be sure.

Tom Mobley Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I believe the overall cabinet dimensions he posted are approximately correct for a Cornwall, but the pic is wrong. Like the man said above, not the first time somebody goofed an ebay listing. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I lightened the photo in Photoshop (sorry I don't know how to post pix yet) and the base is definitely the exact same size as the cabinet, like a Chorus. My earlier quartet guess was off, I misread the 'woofer' spec. Go steal em, whatever they are, the guy doesn't know his woofer from a sqwaker! (who else used that crazy term for mid horn/driver except Klipsch lovers?!?!?) DEFINITELY NOT NOT NOT a photo of Cornwalls, dimensions and base are all wrong.

boomac Posted September 11, 2004 Author Share Posted September 11, 2004 I'm now thinking that the picture is one he copied of Klipsch Speakers in general. Here's another guy advertising Forte IIs with the same shot. http://cgi.msn.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5719519887&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strabo Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 The only way I'd buy these is to see them first. In summary, 1.) Stolen photo from anther current auction? 2.) Photo doesn't match the speaker? 3.) Measurements don't match any Klipsch speaker (close to a Cornwall)? 4.) Doesn't know a squaker from direct radiating driver? Too many questions.

Born2RockU Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I got a reply from the seller....and an appointment to meet this guy to inspect these Cornwall speaker , on Sunday...in HOUSTON. Sounds legit. ! Wish me luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg928gts Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 My guess is that he has Cornwalls but no digital camera. I agree, gotta go see em. Good luck "Born", you can probably make a sweet off-ebay deal. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerohm Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 The 3 letter Klipsch designator for the CHORUS is 'CHR' ... He states that is they are 'CBR'. Most likely confusing the 'H' for a 'B' In ANY case, the Chorus(CHR/CII), Forte(FOR/FII), and Quartet(QUA) clearly state the model on the terminal box.

Good2BHome Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I believe they are CBR Cornwalls. See the plywood edge on the top on both the right and left sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerohm Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 The picture is NOW different from that what was first posted. Those ARE Cornwalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born2RockU Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I live in Houston, where these speakers are available...and have struck a deal w/ the CBR CORNWALL seller ...and will be picking these "baby's' up next week. ~ I can't wait. ~ How lucky can a guy get, .... to live only 15 miles from a deal like this? (I can't imagine what the SHIPPING cost and the RISK it would be for mailing something so precious, such as these HUGE speakers !) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
