Klipsch Cornwall IV

Description

This is a set of the famous Klipsch Cornwall IV speakers. The Cornwall speakers were first introduced by Paul Klipsch in 1959 and they were designed to be a center speaker between a set of his great Klipschorns. In 1957 Paul Klipsch had originally designed the Heresy speakers for that purpose but two years later decided on the Cornwalls. However, they were so popular that customers started using them as their primary speakers.
My son and I build custom furniture and do a lot of work using veneers and exotic woods. We are both Audio Nuts. I fell in love with Klipsch speakers in the early 1960's and have loved them since. In the last few years, we have started collecting and storing older speakers from Klipsch, Altec, JBL, and Electro Voice, mostly Klipsch. We plan to repair or replace any defective drivers or crossovers and give the enclosures a cool custom look, but not change any of the great sound.
When we got this particular set, they were new B Stock Cherry. We removed the grills and shaved the front to veneer. These have been reveneered in Osage Orange Italian Bodark. We finished off the enclosures with three coats of pre-catalyzed lacquer from Sherwin Williams.
