mteinum 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. 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. Here is my Heresy III setup (Cherry). I have had mine now for 2 months - and man - your are in for some good sound. These babies just get better and better. The bass is getting fuller, smoother and deeper. That is with Heresy, I would expect Cornwall to be rock solid in the bottom. They are stunning on live music, try Eva Cassidy - Live At Blues Alley. Eva is there right in front of me. And they are family friendly you don't have to crank them to get full dynamic sound, and saying that - I have not used my Sennheiser HD650 since these came into the house... Use a good tube amp. I'm running a 2x6,5W SET amplifier - its enough. Feed them with jazz, big-band, blues, they do deliver. Expect a good long period break in time. How my HIII will sound in a year I don't know, except from not worse... I'm one of those happy Klipsch customers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strictlylespaul Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 29-something - might as well have been 3000.00. Having said that, I called a few dealers in the area (and there aren't many) and they were the only dealer interested in helping me out - that's worth a few extra bucks in my book. strictly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Hey Chip, you're going to love those cornwalls, really a slice of heaven. However, unless I'm severely out of touch, I would refrain from oiling up your new cornwalls. All 3 of Klipsch's current heritage finishes are lacquer. No Oil in the lineup. Who told you you could get oiled Walnut new? Kimball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLSamuel Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Nice choice ! Want to see how they are hand made ? http://www.cyclonecj.com/dtel/Dtelcorns-small/index.html Very nice choice of speakers. One can never go wrong with real wood. Dtel. I really like the pictures of the Corwalls being made. Are these pictures of your Cornwalls? That'd be even cooler.

strictlylespaul Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Sorry - my mistake. Thought the finish was called "Oiled Walnut" whether it really was or not. strictly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was, also each person signed a certificate that was given to us when we picked them up, with a DVD that had all the pic's of them being built !

BLSamuel Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 drool drool Dtel, That's too cool. Bet it was a fun trip to pick them up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted October 2, 2007 Moderators Share Posted October 2, 2007 Yep it was fun, but it was very hard to drive from Hope AR all the way to south Mississippi with New Clll's in the back of the Jeep ! I couldn't wait to get home to listen to them, but have made up for it since then. [N] How many companies put on visits to the plant, offices and Engineering labs, with demonstrations and get together's for it's fan's , and give away prizes?................. I don't know of any, at least any I would care to see except Klipsch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
