strictlylespaul Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 From Hope via Indy - will be picking them up next weekend[] Why the stop in Indy, I wonder? Question: does anyone have the packed dimensions? I'm wondering if my wife's Escape will handle these, or if I'll need to rent something... I asked the dealer to check, but he forgot to do it. thanks, strictly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 hang on, I'll be right back... here ya go, just happened to have a pair lying about (it could only happen here folks) 18.5 x 28.5 x 41.5 inches in boxes. If you're going a long distance I'd much rather keep em upright if you can. If not, open em up and find out which side is the back and lay them on their backs. This will keep the woofer screws from wanting to tear out if you hit big bumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted September 29, 2007 Moderators Share Posted September 29, 2007 Congratulations on your new purchase. Thank you for helping to keep the Heritage line alive. Michael, that is incredible, only at the House of Klipsch. Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strictlylespaul Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 Hey wait a minute: "This will keep the woofer screws from wanting to tear out if you hit big bumps" That's a scary thought. From Mason, Ohio to Covington, Kenucky - 20 miles tops. On their backs it is - thanks for the tip. Chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strictlylespaul Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 Thanks. I'm pretty excited. After doing the Magnepan thing (wonderful speakers) for several years, I'm anxious to see what horns have to offer. Did I mention that I'm excited? strictly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Didn't know the distance, but didn't want you to bounce them around face down for too long. Thanks for buying New Heritage- you're gonna love them! Oh yeah, Welcome to the Madness! Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I mention that I'm excited? strictly You should be excited, you picked " one " of the best Klipsch makes ! " I'm anxious to see what horns have to offer." It won't take long for you to answer that question, they will jump right at you with that live sound ! What color / wood did you pick ?

oldbuckster Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 If 2 La Scala's can fit in a Subaru Wagon, I think the Cornwalls will fit in an Escape...............A Gibson Man........EH !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strictlylespaul Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 Yep - Gibson/Marshall, for many years now - too many, a fact to which my worn-out ears can attest - EH is right, as in "Eh, what did you say?" Thanks to Michael's reply, I've found that's exactly right - with room to spare. Chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strictlylespaul Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 I decided to go with the perennial favorite - Oiled Walnut. Couldn't find any Cherry examples. Chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted September 30, 2007 Moderators Share Posted September 30, 2007 Nice choice ! Want to see how they are hand made ? http://www.cyclonecj.com/dtel/Dtelcorns-small/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strictlylespaul Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 Wow - that's very cool. All by hand? I had no idea that was done anymore - will make me appreciate them even more. Honestly, I'm glad I hadn't posted earlier - the wait would really be killing me by now. Actually it'll be seven weeks, which doesn't seem bad considering. Thanks to all who've responded. I'll be taking pics when I pick them up/set them up, if anyone's interested, I'll post with comments after I've had a chance to hear them. strictly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel's wife Posted September 30, 2007 Moderators Share Posted September 30, 2007 Strictly, Welcome to the forum. I think you will really enjoy hanging out here, lots of nice folks, in case you haven't noticed! BTW, the link dtel posted shows the Cornwall IIIs we won at the Klipsch Pilgrimage in 2006 in Hope. The CIIIs were one of the door prizes given away by Klipsch. We were able to select the finish we wanted. We also chose Walnut. We had to wait about six weeks for the speakers to be built, the waiting is tough, but it is well worth it. One suggestion, give the Corns some time to "break in" before you judge them. The longer you play them the more you will like them! Again, welcome to the forum and thank you for buying new Klipsch Heritage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I decided to go with the perennial favorite - Oiled Walnut. Couldn't find any Cherry examples. Chip I could post a pix of my Cherry H III's if you wanted. I think the Cherry is nice and warm and interesting looking. The light gloss lacquer is a splendid finish also.

strictlylespaul Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hello - yeah I was surprised at how helpful everyone has been - hopefully I'll have opportunities to do the same sometime. That's some door prize! Break-in you say - guess I'd expect that with any speaker, but it's good to know since I've never heard the CW before. Really though, I'm not too concerned - given the run of my music collection, taste for volume, and some "coincedental" hearing loss over the years from too much live music, I think the Cornwalls will be just what the Dr ordered - so to speak. Thanks for the welcome - good to be here. strictly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strictlylespaul Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Thanks Michael - I wouldn't mind seeing them, if it's no trouble. Cherry was my first choice, as most of my furniture is cherry, but the walnut looked good too - you know how it is. Chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbuckster Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 WELCOME.................The sound of 70's Metal............Gibson's through stacks of Marshall's turned up to 11......Long Live Rock !!!...........EH !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 When you buy a pair from a dealer what can you expect to pay for those things, the full $3,500? or say $3,000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hello - yeah I was surprised at how helpful everyone has been Don't let everyone fool you....we're all a bunch of putzes and now, you are one too!
