Dflip Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Audioanalyst A100 from 1976 - 1981 Klipsch Cornwalls 1081 - present The amps and preamps have changed several times from a Pioneer 737, SAE 50W amp and preamp, Acurus A150 and RL-11, Scott LK-72 and finally McIntosh MC-30's with a Peach. The Cornwalls have been in the system with everything but the Pioneer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to replace one of the HF voice coils from GPA. I have had them about 6 months and picked them up at a church yardsale for $150 in Oak 620A cabs. So for a total of $250, I think I did pretty well. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 This goes back to the 70s when I had a pair of Jensen's (can't remember the model#) with 18" woofers. 4-way if I remember correctly. Great bass but nothing compared to the overall sound the Cornwalls gave me when I replaced them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
