About the worst possible place for crossover parts is inside a speaker cabinet! Not only will it be easier to work on but I bet it will sound better not having to deal with all the sound pressure waves and vibration.

You have done your homework I see and made a wise choice. The Cornwall is about the only other one I'd rather see you have....besides the two other (unamed) ones that are way too big and costly:)

Pay attention to the DCR of the inductors (coils) as they are often part of the crossover design. I know in some of the Klipsch speakers they used oil caps in big metal cans. If you have those I'd keep them. IIRC some had transformers with taps and for sure you want to hold on to them too. And keep in mind what Tom said about Remora's:) You might want to start with damping the horns themselves.

Now you need a top notch turntable.....or reel to reel....LOL...It is a sickness you know!
