INKlipschFan Posted February 14, 2001 Posted February 14, 2001 PLEASE, bring back the Cornwall speakers!! I know I would be very interested in a new pair thank you. Maybe if we all asked for it they (Klipsch) might consider it too? If you think this would be a good move, add your comment. Thanks Quote
jdm56 Posted February 14, 2001 Posted February 14, 2001 As a former cornwall owner, I second that emotion. Quote
S2000 Posted February 14, 2001 Posted February 14, 2001 WE have tried this before, they need to have a request for 1000 pairs I think. I would also get in line Quote
Swissdog Posted February 14, 2001 Posted February 14, 2001 I'm in for a pair in a heart beat, but only if manufactured to the original standards (see Mdeneens post on Sad report card for KLF30). I would even fork over the money for an exotic wood! Oh, to dream the impossible! Quote
boa12 Posted February 14, 2001 Posted February 14, 2001 still just can't figure out why the cornwall would be discontinued for more streamline design. maybe it was just 2 good of a value for US (& not for klipsch). ------------------ RF-3 (front), RC-3, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-15 sub Monsterbass 400 sub cables & Monster Z-12 speak wire Sony de935 a/v receiver Sony DVP-C650D dvdp Sony Trinitron 27" tv Technics dual cassette deck Technics direct drive turntable Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box rock on!

JCturboT Posted February 14, 2001 Posted February 14, 2001 mdeneen, Judging from my old Stereo Review buyers guide it appears that 1990 was the last year of the Cornwall.It was replaced for the more "current"look of the Chorus.The Cornwall was really a "retro"looking speaker,almost a square box with the older woven grill design.The price was $1638.00 on up depending on finish.I really like mine- but not to the tune of $3000.00 dollars which Klipsch said would be the asking price if reissued.I could buy 3-4 sets of mint used Cornwalls at that price!I would keep checking the used audio market for a nice set and go hear them and pick them up yourself(which is exactly what I did-too many horror tales on the shipping)Good luck in your search.

JCturboT Posted February 15, 2001 Posted February 15, 2001 mdeneen, I also love the retro look,unlike my wife who comments "They don't go with the Furniture!" Your correct about not losing money on them...its like money in the bank.I am constantly scanning the used market for gear so if I come across any nice sounding Cornwalls I will keep you in mind.

mwiener Posted February 18, 2001 Posted February 18, 2001 If the wife complains, do what I did. I found a pair in raw birch unfinished. Drove to Florida from Cincinnati to pick them up. Then I finished them the same color as my hardwood floors and the furniture. No way she was gonna pull that one. She still says our great room looks like a bachelor pad, but she can't say they don't match the furniture. ;-) Mike. Quote
Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Ex-employee Posted February 22, 2001 Klipsch Employees Posted February 22, 2001 I too would get another pr. my pr are a little miss matched in age. 67 & 74 but same parts and sound just fine. I have the start and finish dates and prices at work. I will try to remember to post them. started in 1959 as a center for the Khorns Pauls dream of 3 ch stereo in 1958 and before. You never know, it may happen some day. ------------------ Trey Cannon Technical Support Klipsch Audio Technologies 1 Quote
HT_Andy Posted February 22, 2001 Posted February 22, 2001 I'm in for a pair. I called Klipsch a while back to see if they would ever consider firing up the Cornwall line. Never heard back - figured it was a dumb question. Bought LS's instead, but there's always room in the basement! Quote
JCturboT Posted February 22, 2001 Posted February 22, 2001 Trey, Those start & finish dates will be interesting...I might be in the market myself for another used pair in Cherry/Rosewood,something a bit darker than the oak finish. Jeff Quote
boa12 Posted February 22, 2001 Posted February 22, 2001 another great thing for me is w/ the size I could stack the new rs-7 on top of mine (they're in the rear due to my ^% room layout). then use the corn's as a+b only for music & get guys like trey off my back for my set-up point being even if u don't stack speakers on top, they also make great tables for putting things on.

bigTbarker Posted February 25, 2001 Posted February 25, 2001 I also would like to see cornwall come back. Now with that said I like being part of an exclusive club!!! Quote
Steve Phillips Posted February 25, 2001 Posted February 25, 2001 Was doing some research for a friend and discovered that the LS and Cornwall are almost identical in height and width.The LS is deeper. The one thing I discovered was,I believe,is that the Cornwall and Heresy would be an almost perfect match as mains and center for an HT.They cross over at almost the same and the squawker size appears to be almost the same.Tonal balance should be right on. SPL is also very close,98.5 to the Heresy's 96. Yes please bring the Cornwall back,please,please,s>please!s> The pair at Paul and Valerie's home are wonderful and beautiful!I had forgotten how big they were. Quote
Mr. Blorry Posted February 25, 2001 Posted February 25, 2001 PUT ME ON THE LIST! I just bought my KLF 20s, but if they'd make Cornwalls under $2K, I'm in! I doubt if I'd have a problem selling my 20s! Quote
spfrss Posted February 26, 2001 Posted February 26, 2001 Being a Cornwall II owner, I totally agree with a move to put Cornies back into production, they have a wonderful sound!!! I found a report about Cornwalls on a Belgian site: http://www.belgaudio.com/kcmap.htm Cheers SPFRSS try quote: Originally posted by INKlipschFan: PLEASE, bring back the Cornwall speakers!!
