About on par with Klipsch heritage... think Cornwall for those VIs, something along the lines of 96 dBW.

I think the brochure at home claimed 99, but either way they do give Cornwalls a run for the money. :thmbsp:

Holy Bat-Crap Batman! These things sound super! I haven't heard Corny's before (heard Klipschorns tho') be that as it may; these things are taking away my desire to go after a set of Altec Valencia's someone has.
Currently they are hooked up to in my AV room to a big old Outlaw 770 amp and 990 processor and are stellar. I'm gonna break out the 70s' stuff and start playing later this week with various combos to see what I like best with them. I was gonna trade someone these for a G8700 in the box but I dunno. If I can get my wife to stay outta that room I may just keep these!
Hard to tell at the moment but sensitivity-wise I'd say they are between 96-99 dbs.
Peace out.

No I haven't cracked them open just yet. I actually bought them sight unseen (in person anyway) My Brother In Law heaerd them and said they sounded great. The rest is history.
They have a few flaky edges in the veneer but if the tops are solid wood (not sure) I could always re-veneer the sides. The fronts are solid wood I do know that. The grill cloth is immaculate that could be re-used in a resto. I'll open them up later this month after the kids are back in school and get a few pics up. They're black boxes in cabinetts and were a beyotch to move upstairs!
They sound stellar as is and that's curious to me. I would think the surrounds would be about shot and I'm pretty certain the previous owners have never done anything to them. Did Frazier use a different surround material ala HPM's? Any info on that would be appreciated.

Simi, that should be the piezo supertweeter. I hate these things, but it adds a nice splash on these Fraziers. :yes:
