Klipsch Cornwall I _Floorstanding speakers

1972-1985

Made in Hope, Arkansas 

One of the true legends from Klipsch’s Heritage Series.

Designed around a simple but highly effective concept: a large 15’’ woofer combined with horn-loaded midrange and high-frequency drivers for effortless dynamics and incredible efficiency.

With a sensitivity of approximately 98-101 dB, the Cornwall can deliver room-filling sound with only a few watts, making it an ideal match for both low-power tube amplifiers and powerful solid-state gear.

Deep, authoritative bass.

Explosive dynamics.

Lifelike vocals.

That unmistakable live-performance feeling.

Its wide walnut cabinet and vintage proportions have become iconic, blending beautifully into both classic and modern interiors.

More than 60 years after its introduction, the Cornwall remains in production today as the Cornwall IV — a testament to one of the most successful loudspeaker designs ever created.
