NJbob Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I picked up a pr from a ebay win and finally got to spend a few hours with them. (I have had Lascalla's). First off they are very source dependant. Even to level of a albulm (i'm 99% vinyl) I had them hooked up to a Rogue Tempest II 90 watt tube amp (Kt88's) and they sound good. Then hooked up my modded ST70 and you would have needed a shover to pick up my jaw. I'm much more impressed with these than the Lascallas in my room with my equipment. Bass was lower and the volcals weer a lot smoother. I have read lots of posts from people likeing the cornwalls better. Now i'm one of the converts. I'm gonna look for a 300b amp next. The guy i bought them from was the original owner from 1983. and over the years put layers of poly urathane on them. I wanted to sand them and add some fresh stain. seems like that might not be to practical. Any thoughts how hard its to sand down the urothane These are in good shape but I much rather have a different (fresh stain). I'll be ording new grill cloth, binding posts and caps this week. figure I'll also rewire the connections too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 very nice...like the set up too...it seems that that stain color was VERY popular for Birch Raw Klipsch...sorry can't help with the staining but others will chime in...Enjoy!

Guest " " Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Any thoughts how hard its to sand down the urothane The venner is not thick enough to pursue sanding down poly coatings, then beyond that sanding even more to get the stain off. The amount of material removal we are talking about will probally result in cabs that will need to be re-veneered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJbob Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Thanks, whats the thoughts on veneer over the the exsisting finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 All you would need to do is prep all surfaces with 80 grit sand paper (vibrating sander or sanding block) to scuff them up enough for the veneers contact cement. Don't forget the edges. Don't use a belt sander unless your an expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderbender Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/109693.aspx read the last 5 or so pages of this post....GLA51 has painstakingly documented the refinishing of Heresies and much will apply to your cornwalls... really glad you are enjoying them....one of the best of the best IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 There's a reason they are so popular! They can't be beat for the money. I spent much of my day yesterday breaking in a cartridge with my my newest pair of Cornwalls.[] Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
