hammerin Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 and what is the going rate on them, I am thinking about selling my KLF 20's cause the just have a little to much midrange for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Do some research. All the specs are on Klipsch's home page and you can look at the completed auctions on ebay. They should range from $500 to $1500 a pair depending on many factors. They are a different animal than the KLFs but both are great speakers. What type of music do you like?

Could be waterspots. Are they on the grill cloth or cabinet? You'd have to supply some pictures to be able to guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymd Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 The cornwall is a better all-around speaker IMO. If you only listened to heavy metal, you may be better off keeping the KLFs but if you like jazz/classical/bluegrass/acoustic also, the corns are the way to go. There is enough info in the forum archives to spend a month finding answers to any questions you might have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 So you feel the KLF 20 has more midrange than you care for? Let's check the specs and compare the KLF 20 to the Cornwall: KLF 20: MIDRANGE: K-52 1.5" (3.81cm) Polymer diaphragm compression driver MID FREQUENCY HORN: 90°x60° Tractrix® Horn MF CROSSOVER: 750Hz Cornwall: MIDRANGE: K-55-V 2" (5.08cm) Phenolic diaphragm compression driver MID FREQUENCY HORN: 90°x40° Exponential Horn MF CROSSOVER: 600Hz From reading this, I would assume that the Cornwall would have more of a midrange presence than the KLF 20, but I'm no expert, so correct me if I'm wrong. I love my Cornwalls, but it seems specwise that the classic KLF 20s are no slouch either. Guess the best way to find out which loudspeaker sounds best to you is to audition a pair of Cornwalls near you (better yet with your own gear and recordings) and hear for yourself which horn speaker pleases you most with your favorite music. But I would gather that you really wouldn't hear too much of a difference IMO, but that's just my assumption. If you can, listen to some Cornwalls and see for yourself. Good luck in your search for audio nirvana! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
