Gorgeous original Klipsch Cornwall speakers from my vintage audio collection. Built in February 1985, consecutive serial numbers 8506496 and 8506497. They have Klipsch original optional 2” oak risers at the bottom. Also I include 5 Rolling Stands on rubber wheels, they are extremely handy. Speakers have been stored in my Audio room and rarely play. They have always been out of the sun, covered with furniture covers, smoke-free, pets-free. Few years ago they were professionally refinished to Silky-smooth oiled finish, so finish is beautiful and very smooth on touch. This is very special speakers. Made in February 1985, right before Klipsch started cost saving in Cornwall II in 1986. Particularly: Drivers are better quality and rear mounted (not front mounted like in later Cornwall II). Back panels are removable (contrary to later Cornwall II). Speaker terminals located on the top (not on the bottom as in Cornwall II). Real plywood cabinets (not veneered MDF board as in most Cornwall II). Many people consider original Cornwall as one of the best sounding & balanced speakers ever built. Especially driven by tube amp / tube receiver. Superb sound. Large and heavy cabinets, above 100 lb each. I actually A/B/C tested these Cornwall against many famous classic JBL, Pioneer, ADS, AR, Electro-Voice and other speakers, including many Klipsch. Cornwall outperform them by a wide margin; they are not even close. Indeed, its almost impossible to beat Cornwall. Only the largest Klipschorn monster speakers (that require huge space) are able to, but pound-for-pound Cornwall beat them too. Cornwall in Walnut finish are one of the most beautiful speakers. Gorgeous dark walnut veneer, full of characters, and striking proportions, they create great visual impression, especially on nice 5 high Rolling Stands I use. Cornwall look very cool on wheels, and they are very handy to move around. I include Rolling Stands for free. Winner gets them with local pickup. If shipping needed, winner decide if he needs them. Cosmetic condition. Near Mint condition. All 16 corners are sharp (very rare).Gorgeous cabinets. Fancy dark walnut with a lot of characters, movements. No marks, scratches, dings, water rings, that are common to vintage speakers. Many years ago one side has a scratch, that was fixed during professional refinish. Beautiful walnut cabinet with Silky-smooth oiled finish on all sides.All drivers are great, no pushed in dust caps. Woofers have rubber surrounds (not foam), so never need to refoam. Grill fabric and frame are perfect. Grill fabric is tight, no holes. Grills snugly fit on cabinets.Badges are perfect.Speaker terminal are perfect.Consecutive serial numbers. Functional condition. All drivers play great. Phenomenal sound. Everything operates as it should. Speakers have no issues. All drivers are original, in perfect shape, and play even and flawlessly. Speaker terminals function as they should. Pickup and Shipping Pickup: Free Local Pickup is much preferred. This way buyer be able to audition, save on shipping cost, and avoid possibility of shipping damage. Shipping: If shipping is absolutely impossible to avoid, please contact me before bid with your address, so I will check the freight cost. I assist by delivering speakers to local Freight Shipper. Each speaker weights above 100 lb. I dont charge shipping. Buyer pays only actual freight cost to a Freight company. I accept many methods of payment. Included: Stands (on 4 wheels), they are very handy to move speakers around to find the best placement.
