I'm newish to the forums. I've always appreciated the advice, back and forth on hot topics, the very generous offers of "pay for shipping, and it's yours" that turn up here. It's always felt like my speaker family allowing me to visit here.

Those are beautiful. I've already have a pair of Cornwall 1s. It's hard to imagine parting with them. I'm certain that these will end up in a deserving home soon.

This receiver is for sale, hopefully with local pickup, or delivery by me. Located in the Hamilton Ontario area, with everything the receiver came with except the box. Includes; Audessey Microphone, Audessey Microphone stand, Remote Control, AM Antenna, FM Antenna, Speaker line labels, and the NR1508. The receiver itself is pretty good shape. It's been in our living room since March of 2018 when I purchased it from Eastporters in Oakville. Priced at $280 CAD

I have a pair, and they are wonderful. Someone will buy them.

good luck with the sale.

oh my.. I took it too seriously. It's funny now

Humans will never be perfect, or completely selfless. I accept that. I can also celebrate when someone does something positive that's outside the norm. It may not save the world, but it's a step in the right direction.

Thanks for your ad. It reminds me that this community is a family.

Wowwee those are pretty!

I converted the original photo to something more browser friendly for the OP. Best of luck with your sale.

Until this post, I was short a post. I wish you good luck with the sale. I have a pair of Forte II, one with a patched PR, it's cosmetically blemished, as opposed to its formerly torn state. I'll leave this opportunity for someone who doesn't have a working PR.

Assuming that you changed out the woofers, and the insulation, and the plywood is still ok... you would have a pair of Cornwalls. Gee, even a quick shot of spray paint on the woofers would cover that watermark. From a technical standpoint, how different is flood water than being exposed repeatedly to high humidity? There's no doubt that moisture is going to affect the stiffness of paper, but at what exposure level does it matter? Oh my too much coffee this AM. Must stop wondering about this.

Hi Hatrack1971, a shorted capacitor in the tweeter circuit will likely be the cause of the dead tweeters. Capacitors used in tweeter circuits are mostly used to keep low frequency energy from getting to the tweeter.

When I bought my Cornwalls, I wanted them to be factory original, and they are. I couldn't imagine paying more than market rate for a mutilated pair. Now many will say that the modifications improved the sound of these speaker, maybe it does, but how to convince the next buyer of that at resale time. Frankly, all the 16 gauge silver core wire in the world will not change the sound of a speaker, it just runs up the cost. That alone, brings into question the value of the other 'upgrades'. What I see for sale are speakers that have been abused. Call me cranky, I guess. I have to say that my Fortes have Crites tweeter diaphragms. They also have a patched passive radiator. I think that the Crites helped the sound, not so sure about the patch job.

No afiliation with the sale. If you are in driving distance to Windsor Ontario, these seem to be quite a deal at $500 Canadian. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-speakers/windsor-area-on/klipsch-forte-2-hardly-used-very-good-condition/1398224965?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
