oliverweagle Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 About 10 years years ago I came into posession of a pair of Klipsch Cornwall speakers due to the untimely passing of a brother-in-law. I am unable to make out much information from the identification stickers on the backs of the units, although I would presume their condition to be "fair" at least. I have worked overseas for thae last 5 years and the speakers have done little but to gather dust. What is my best recourse to find these speakers a good home? I do not have room for them, and from what I gather, those who enjoy Klipsch REALLY enjoy Klipsch! I live in Houston and, as you know, these are sizable speakers! Thanks for the feedback - I'm going to try and attach links to some pictires I took this morning. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/Oliverweagle/8e4f0954.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/Oliverweagle/e45500d7.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/Oliverweagle/13c41370.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the forum and thank you for offering them here to forum members first. Any idea as to the finish type? Birch, Walnut, etc?

garymd Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Like Dodger said, the serial # will have a letter in it (if they're pre-1985ish that tells the year they were made. Later models usually begin with the year made in the4 serial #. The type of finish is deignated on the same label and will say something like: CBR which is "Cornwall Birch Raw" or CWO which is "Cornwall Walnut Oiled" or CZSL (like mine) which are "Cornwall Zebrawood Satin Laquer." There were many options. Prices are determined by year, finish, condition, etc. Pictures are critical for a quick and fair sale. Thanks again for offering them here first. You will surely get a buyer if you post pictures and with the proper info, we'll be able to give you an idea of their value depending upon condition.

texican58 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Oliver, I live in Houston. I'm creating an HT system from scratch. I'm very interested in all-things-Klipsch and your Cornwalls. Have you decided on a price? texican58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edster00 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 oliverweagle's first photo shows the serial numbers - 17S230 which makes these Walnut lacquer Cornwalls (C-WL) 1978 vintage. Very nice looking Cornwalls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliverweagle Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Looking through previous sales of Cornwalls on the forum, I see that the range of between $600 to $900 is within reason. I'm not going to "hold out for the best offer"and as noted earlier, the speakers have done nothing more than gather dust these last 5 years. In a nutshell, I think everyone would be happy with $600, so if that offer is made, I'll take it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oliverweagle Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Sold to Texican58 for $600.... unless of course he can not live with the guilt and insists on paying more! Thank to all for your help and advice. I will continue to "lurk" here nonetheless and appreciate the sentiments expressed on this board. Oliver.
