Thanks to everyone for your informative feedback. By the way, are there any key differences in SQ between 813A and 813C (I know specs - Altec vs JBL)? This height is 9'. Here find some photos of my last system. Diffusors on the front wall, first reflection panels (creme color box just close the door and the opposite side). Whats not on the pictures - ceiling acoustic treatments (7' x 7') + bass traps at the back corners of the room. All was measured and dedicated for my room. Thats because my English... Mids were absolutely w o n d e r f u l. I would refer only to the highs. And only when loud listening. That was unpleasant. Hard / heavy rock - ear bleeding, pins in my ears (dont know how to express it better). I realize that modern production / mastering standards are rather awfull but yeah... I'm still using transport / DAC. Turntable is still to come... PS. Correct me when I"m wrong but Altec mid-woofer is responsible even up to 1200Hz. Honestly speaking, I'll be very happy to find something close to the Altec 19 bass and mids but rather smoother highs. Cornwall II // JBL 4343 // Urei 813A - need to check them.

Hello the whole Klipsch Community! Greetings from Poland! Kindly ask for your advice... I've just start to rebuild my audio system. Altec 19 and GM70 tube amps have just left the building. Wonderful bass from the paper woofer, nice imaging but this shouty, ringing horn... I have done a lot to minimize this effect but finally gave up... There are not so many interesting offers of wonderful classic vintage speakers here in Poland (transport from US is very, very expensive). In fact there is one guy (collector / seller) who offers quite wide range of speakers. I plan my trip to listen to the: Klipsch Cornwall II Urei 813a JBL 4343 (two times higher price as the other ones) Before the listening session I'd like to know theoretically (taking into account my room characteristics, kind of music I listen to) their pros and cons. Please share with your opinions. Please also look at the attached images (sorry for the quality...). I checked that woofer in Cornwall II should be K-34-E. Not sure if this one looks like the proper.
