Cornwall risers?

[bolero]

I've seen pics of Cornwalls on risers

My Cornwall II's don't have risers, they are flat on the floor. Which seems to couple the bass well: they're on hard wooden floors.

Is there an advantage to using the risers?

I think I read they were an optional addon, but the search function isn't working yet so I can't research it. If anyone has the plans/dimensions I could always build a set.

Thanks!

I have the ll's also w/risers, the measure - 23.5'' x 14.5'' x 2''. Hope this helps. Set back, 1'' from the sides & front.

@bolero Do yours have screw holes on the bottom?

The risers on the CW1s I bought last year were falling apart from water damage, so I bought new ones from Crites, the screw holes were different from the 1982 Klipsch risers. I wanted to maintain the tweeter height since I'm over 6'.

Yes, the risers are drilled out @ 8 locations, screwed to the bottom of the speaker.

That question was actually for the OP, I edited the post to make it clear.

that is a good question: next time I get around to dismantling them I'll check the bottom!

thanks all

hey, dmar it looks like you have your CWs on risers, and another platform beneath that with spikes/rollers?

Yes. 4'' Maple with Mapleshades Heavy feet.

CW II's risers were falling apart as well when I bought them. I made new ones out of 3/4" birch and concur with @dmar's measurements of 23.5'' x 14.5'' x 2'' (OD)
