Jeff Matthews Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 OldSkool! You walk right in and steal the show on my Name that Tune thread. What a great first post! Everybody, OldSkool is a good friend of mine. We go back about 13 years. He's a really great guy.... AND HE'S A PROUD OWNER OF HIS FIRST KLIPSCH! 1978 Corns delivered to his room by the seller for $450. [<)][Y] He drives them with a mega-watt Pioneer receiver. What is it - 170 wpc? Welcome to the Klipsch madness! [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSkool Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Darn it Jeff, I was trying to sneak in the back door and you caught me. DOH ! Yep, I love these CBRs and I am wanting to put a fresh face on them to go with the great sound. So Im looking into reveneering them and have the crossovers checked out as well. I have several other sets of loudspeakers, but have always wanted to own some Cornwalls after hearing Jeffs back in about '93-'94. Make no mistake, the others speakers I have dont even come close to how these CBRs sound. These Corns sing and they will never leave my music room! As for the amp, just a lil ole SX-1250. Thanks for the welcome and for turning me on to some of the best speakers Ive heard yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here I thought you just joined, and it turns out you joined in 11/05 and waited 'til today to make your first post. No doubt you've been entertained and educated on everything from speakers, mega-watt amps vs. tubes, tax policy, and frivolous lawsuits.

m00n Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Welcome to the peanut gallery. I know I should know this, but what is CBR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSkool Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 CBR = Cornwall Birch Raw Actually Jeff, I signed on last year looking for some info and hadnt been back since. Been occupied with other audio projects. Only came back here to get info & advice from all you Klipsch gurus and find guidance for my new CBRs. Im totally Klipsch illiterate, but want to learn. These things are incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Didn't Honda make a 6 cylinder CBR motorcycle back in the eighties? Welcome Old Skool...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Okay, Bobby. You're "in." Now, go to the 2-channel and enter the thread I started on your re-veneering project. All the guys here are very helpful, and you'll find very many nice photos. Do one thing for me, though..... Don't ever ask a question along the lines of "Which is better/best." The guys on this forum just get WAY too worked-up when that happens. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted February 22, 2006 Moderators Share Posted February 22, 2006 Welcome, and don't blame us if you end up with more klipsch, it's kind of a cycle,at least it sounds like a good excuse at least. If these sound this good the next ones up the line must sound better? No matter how good they sound you will always want more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
