Matthorns Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Just a quick question does anyone know why Klipsch stop making the Cornwalls??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 They were not selling well. The original Cornwall ceased production in 1985 and the Cornwall II was made from 85-90 then dropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthorns Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 I would love to get my hands on some mint condition one's Not sure if any one has some in Australia that they might want to part with?? What are they worth these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmikid Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I know what you mean. In Holland they are probably non existant, so I'm even considering having them shipped from the USA, which will cost me just as much or more that the corns themselves! Anyone? Tim.

Matthorns Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 I know Dont you hate it. Itll cost me over $18,000AUS for a new pair of K-horns. A little out of my price range at the moment. Found one pair second hand and they were $11,000. Sounded soooooooo good thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandi Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 You need to find someone who is being moved there with the military and get them to have them shipped with their stuff. Might be hard to arrange but it could be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tofu Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 wouldn't building your own corns be fairly easy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, Cornwall components come up all the time on, forgive me for saying this, eBay. A pair of K-77s, K55s, K-600s and K-33s. Have Dean send you some Type Bs and a local craftsman build a pair of cabinents. The Frieght, duty and VAT would be a lot less than whole speakers I would think. Of course if you bought Gregg a round trip ticket to Amsterdam plus E1,000 I'm sure he would deliver those beauties he is selling.

Matthorns Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 Am I right in assuming that the K-600 is the crossover??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmikid Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Of course if you bought Gregg a round trip ticket to Amsterdam plus E1,000 I'm sure he would deliver those beauties he is selling. Anybody of this forum is more than welcome to give me a call when they are in Holland. The pocketmoney though is not necessary, a little green bag and a box of Heineken together with great music should do the trick. If Cornwalls or K-Horns can be taken with you (as handluggage perhabs) a bonus is appropriate though! Any soldiers coming to Germany, Belgium or Holland with a little spare space? Well, now we are getting back to the old question: Cornwall VS Cornwall II. I have a feeling that's been discussed her before. I'll dive into the dungeons of this forum and have look. In the meantime feel free to comment. I was also considering the Corns offered by Kievitt in General Queations, but after the initial enthousiasm (I have to learn how to control that), maybe they are not mint enough to take the hassle to ship them. I hope he does not mind too much that I wasted his time. Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthorns Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 Im falling for the Idear of building my own. Never built my own speakers before(well i have but just crap one using old car speakers when i was 10)so I would not know were to start. At least I would have desinge flexabilty (to a degree) Any pointers that anyone could offer would help. Now to the drawing board! Where's my pen???

Timmikid Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Hi Greg, in reply to those nice corns a few questions. These are I's right? This means that they don't have the K77. Could you explain? Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D0N Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 timmikid send me 1/2 the cash up front and I'll ship a pair of nice cornwalls to you. I'll even pay the shipping. OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornwall IIs in the eighties had the K-56(7 ??) horn and driver in one unit with the diaphram captured between the magnet and plastic horn.

Frzninvt Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Timmi, that is a K-77M tweeter in that Cornwall. The midrange driver looks to be the K-57K and it probably has the composite K-600 Horn. I did not think that the '83's would have the K-57K but they may have started introducing them earlier. The crossover network is likely the B-3 version. Nice looking with the Walnut Oil finish and cane grills. No takers on eBay even twice around that is surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 For Timm and Matt: The offer was made yesterday by a Fellow Forum Member to actually go inspect MC 30s if you see them on ebay. Thus avoiding what happened once before. Greg is a long-standing trustworthy Member, I could recommend his Cornwalls. I do not know Don yet, but would be willing to speak with him. So, the point is if something comes up that you wish to find out about, if near me, I would gladly do it, and I believe most other Forum Members would also. That includes Speakers as well as amplifiers. dodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
