Default New member of the Cornwall Club!

I am the new owner of a speaker that I have lusted over for awhile. These are from 1971, Walnut Oil finish and they look absolutely stunning. They've had pretty much all the Crites upgrades done to them. Got them by trading upgraded Fortes and a Fisher 500C receiver but had them delivered by the previous owner so a great deal as far as I'm concerned. And I've still got 3 restored Heathkit amps(UA-1, W-5M, W-7) and a Fisher 400 so not going to miss the 500C. And because these go against the walls in my rather small living room, my wife is actually ok with them as we now have more floor space available. Score!

The pictures don't do them justice. The really look brand new. And the sound is incredible. I really thought they would be too big for the room but turns out the room is perfect for them. About 10 feet apart, and about 13 feet from my seat. Obviously would be better if I could get them further apart but I'm happy to get what I did.
