YES

Yes, and you had better have bought them by the time you read this or someone will have.

 

Yes. Google don't fail me now..."find me those $250 speakers"!

 

Yes, buy them. Cornwalls are wonderful speakers. I have heard them many times sound great, they work well with VERY low powered amplifiers, and they look VERY impressive. They usually sell for $700 to $3000, depending on age and condition. But it doesn't matter much how old they are, because they have ALWAYS sounded great. I would use them with a low-powered tube amp, preferably SET, but that is a matter of varying opinion.

 

Absolutely, assuming they are in good working condition. I've never seen them listed so low on craigslist.

 

Get them. Please don't reply until you have them set up in your house.

P.S.

Send pictures

 

Holy crap. Run!

 

haha thanks everybody! this squirrel rarely finds a nut, so I'm pumped. it's a friend, not craigslist or anything so I'm safe.

I have a pair of KEF reference 105 which I love, but this sounds too good to pass up. maybe I can hook them both up and alternate.

 

Run and get them now!

 

I will need to buy a new house to accommodate a pair of klipsch cornwalls ... LOL

 

Fantastic!

 

I paid 500.00 for a pair from 1981 with beat up cabinets. After a refurb including reveneering with walnut and Crites tweeters and crossover upgrades they look and sound like new. So yes.....go get them!

 

It is amazing how you can power these speakers with a 10-watt amp ...

 

Hey I am being offered a pair of Linn Isobariks for $25.00. Should I buy them???

 

Does anyone know if the brand-new Klipsch Heritage line of speakers are still made in the US?

 

Yes they are.

 

Great news. So even the bottom of the line Heresey III's are made in the States ...

 

Yes,all of the Hertage line is built in the states.

 

Yup....built at the plant in Hope, Arkansas.

 

If the cabinets are in good shape $250 is a total steel. I'd buy them even if the drivers were busted and replace everything with new Crites drivers and crossovers. They'll sound superb!

 

What everyone else has already said. Do not pass go go directly to buy those speakers.

Cornwalls have always been my favorite Klipsch speakers.

 

This sounds a lot like this:

 

finally was able to go snag these. I'm in love.
my KEF 105s are great, but man!!!!!!!

 

Congratulations- I think you may have the audiophile bargain of the decade. Pics please!
