Being offeredhere is a pair of upgraded Klipsch B-2 crossovers; original Klipsch bobbin coils, transformers w/high end thick wall Teflon tubing, high end 16awg military spec audio grade silver silicone encased stranded wire; Jantzen Audio Superior Z caps, Erse 20uF audio capacitors designed for woofers, rare Brazilian Rosewood veneer over original boards, Teak oiled. Capacitors are new direct from supplier in Denmark. Quad Eutectic silver solder was used on the connections.
The last photo with the wiring and Teflon tubing used in these, those Rosewood crossovers are another pair of type B-2 listed in another auction. I didn't have these available for a photo w/the mil-spec audio grade wire and Teflon tubing as these are installed in our Cornwall's getting broken in. After only 6-7 hrs. on them they're opening up nicely. I have to say they sound great, far better than the stock ones with the worn out weak can capacitors. The German made, designed Jantzen Superior Z caps are wonderful audio capacitors. They sound better to me than the Mundorf high end caps; Supreme Mcap Silver & Oil and Gold & Oil caps I have used other times in other Klipsch I speakers. So neutral and detailed. Check them out.
Update; 24-25 hrs. in the tweeters and of course the med range drivers speak volumes, it is something else, the lower end 20uF Erse cap is opening up and the bass is now noticeably better. Over all, great balance with the three drivers. Talk about dynamics, Klipsch I speakers are quite remarkable when is comes to there concert hall soundstage with excellent dynamics, and natural sounding too. Cornwall's are one of the top Klipsch I vintage speakers, perfect size of the larger 4-5 Klipsch I speakers. These are way above average type B-2 crossovers I have upgraded. The Cornwall's are a mint 1976 pair we're using for the burn with special vintage western electric upgraded wiring installed.
I am offering a 3 month return for repairs if anything goes wrong with these from day of arrival. Send them back for repair. Buyer pays for return shipping if buyer just wishes to return them in the first 30 days. Thank you.
