3-Way Black Ash Heritage Series Floorstanding Speaker

Klipsch brings back one of their classiest speakers. The Cornwall, introduced in 1959, is designed to serve as a larger, full-range alternative to the Klipsch Heresy when used as a center channel between two widely spaced Klipschorns. It delivers full-range base response with sensitivity and output approaching the fully horn-loaded models.

Not All Good Things Must Come To An End

Can a speaker have a fan club? If it's a Klipsch speaker it can. First introduced in 1959, the Klipsch Cornwall speaker was designed to serve as a larger, full-range alternative, an upgrade, to the Heresy when used as a center channel speaker between two widely spaced Klipschorns. When it was discontinued in 1990, there was an outcry from consumers resulting in a letter-writing campaign and even a petition to bring back this storied loudspeaker. The result? The new Cornwall III, an integral part of the ongoing Heritage Series from Klipsch. From it, you will hear the result of over 55 years of stringent engineering and class-leading research and development. Like all Klipsch products, the Heritage Series Cornwall III features Horn-loaded Technology -- the guiding design for the first Klipschorn developed in 1946 and for every product that has followed. Horn-loading allows the speaker to deliver very high sensitivity, low distortion, flat frequency response, and broad, controlled dispersion. This translates to unequaled power, detail, and dynamics, the hallmarks of "The Klipsch Sound."

Re-Introducing The Cornwall III

If you long for the long-gone days when it was acceptable for a speaker to be big as a truck, this latest re-issue from Klipsch will be sweet music to your decibel-damaged ears. This famed speaker, now dubbed the Cornwall III, is back and better than ever. A three-way design using horn-loaded compression drivers for the midrange and treble and a direct-radiating 15-inch woofer for the low frequencies, the Cornwall III delivers the full-range bass response of the Klipschorn with sensitivity and output approaching the fully horn-loaded models.

In The Words Of The Original Mr. Klipsch

"I wanted something with a closer approach to accuracy in reproduction."

Sixty years and a zillion devotees later, you might say Klipsch got his wish.

Like the original Klipschorn, the Cornwall III generates rich, full, smooth, ultra-low distortion sound. It also utilizes the same horn-loaded design as the Klipschorn, making it highly efficient and able to produce high volumes consuming very little power and undetectable distortion. Does it have the Model K-33-E 15" fiber-composite cone woofer with folded horn? Check. Does it have the Model K-53-TI 1.75" Titanium Diaphragm Compression Midrange Driver With Exponential MF Horn? Check. The K-107-TI 1" Titanium Diaphragm Compression Driver Tweeter? Check. Magnetic grille posts allow for secure attachment and easy removal of the grille, while top-grade binding posts ensure optimal signal transfer and a secure connection to any type of cable.
