CIGARBUM Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 After being absent from listening to music for a long time, I have recently invested in some decent equipment (See Profile). I have a set of the Klipsch Cornwalls, I am interested in determining the date made. Don't ask me why because to my old ears it can't much better. CBR, Ser.# 8507840, Removal backs, 3 ports front bottom, mid-range horn made of composite material, I really don't want to remove the backs if I don't have to (afraid I'll screw something up). Cornwall placement, two trains of thought, in a corner or a foot or two away from walls. Is there a correct answer to this question, or just where they sound the best. Thanks for letting me participate in a forum where yopu guys know a lot more than I. UPSTAIRS SYSTEM McIntosh 7200 McIntosh C-29 McIntosh 7007 Klipsch Cornwall $800 worth of speakers cables and interconnects DOWNSTAIRS SYSTEM McIntosh 2105 McIntosh MX113 NAD 542 Klipsch Forte II $400 worth of speakers cables and interconnects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderbender Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 If I got the code correct they were made in 1985...7th week Here is the link to the master code http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/103886.aspx AS far as sounding the best you are just going to have to do a lot of trail and error and let your ears tell you....I have a test disk that really helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 CB, Welcome. You have two of the most revered setups around. You have good taste, and as others have said, just trial and error to what sounds good to YOU! Post some pics when you can......................

CIGARBUM Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 Thanks, I THINK I know what sounds good, even when I take my hearing aid out, just turn it up a bit. Any thing over 20 watts will run you out of the room The equipment seems to be setup OK, good stereo seperation while giving good sound stage in the center, with some of the XRCD's really sounds super. From my age 61, guess what kind of music I like. I do have some pictures, where would I post them and how?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIGARBUM Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 I'm having a terrible time trying to post some pictures, where would you suggest I post them??? Time for bed , I;ll try again tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Pictures... hit the reply button, and type something and look at the top row above the post area. You see a tab that says compose; that's what you are doing; next to it there is "options" tab. Click on it and then click on the add/update button. Little box shows up and click "browse" and select a picture from your computer, and hit enter. Then on the right side of the little box there is a button that says save. You may have to scroll over to find it but it's there. Click on save. It will then save it, and the little box will disappear.Then hit the "post" button. and Voila, there's your picture. Best to make sure the pictures are not bigger than about 1200 x 800 in size, etc. etc. Hope that helps. If we see a "El Giganto" Cornwall picture show up, we know you are working on it!! Welcome to the Forum and enjoy that equipment with a nice Cohiba and a cold Sam Adams!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bliss53 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I have a test disk that really helps Fender, What do you use for a test disk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIGARBUM Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 Check it out, I did it. Wonders will never cease. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderbender Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I have a test disk that really helps Fender, What do you use for a test disk? Chuck..(thumperxes) gave me a copy of his IASCA competition disk.....about 30 short tracks to check for imaging, soundstage , etc...and then ends with a tone generator so I can check the room for vibrations (I think I cracked the foundation of my house with my khorns up to loud [] ) Maybe someone know's but there is a site that you can download similar stuff.

CIGARBUM Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 To be truthful, my preference would be a great single malt and a Fuente Anejo 77 shark. Sit in the sweet spot and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
