Klipsch has announced that the Cornwall IV speakers in its Heritage series have now been updated and refreshed. The Klipsch Cornwall IV speakers continue to be designed and handcrafted in the USA. Enthusiasts will get their first listen at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2019

Klipsch Cornwall

The Klipsch Cornwall was initially introduced in 1959. Now in its fourth iteration, the three-way design uses horn-loaded compression drivers for the midrange and treble and a direct-radiating 15-inch woofer for low frequencies to deliver the full-range bass response of the Klipschorn with the sensitivity and output approaching the fully horn-loaded models.

New Features

All new K-702 midrange compression mated to a modified proprietary Tractrix® horn with patented Klipsch Mumps technology. A new high-fidelity, steep slope network, for truer to life sound reproduction. New ports with Tractrix flares that deliver, say Klipsch, “the most efficient, fastest air transfer in their class”.

A newly designed wide-dispersion high-frequency phase plug to ensure the last octave matches the coverage pattern of the midrange and high-frequency horns. Premium aluminum input panels accommodate large, high-quality speaker cables, while strong binding posts allow for bi-wiring or bi-amping. An updated passive network features premium grade AudioQuest® internal wiring.

Grain Matched Veneer

The Klipsch Cornwall IV is available in three finishes — satin black ash, American walnut, and natural cherry real-wood veneer to complement modern furnishings. As with the entire Klipsch Heritage series, the Cornwall IV speakers are designed and handcrafted in the USA. Each speaker is grain-matched using wood veneer panels from the same timber, resulting in a speaker pair that is virtually indistinguishable from the other.

Klipsch will debut the new speakers for the first time at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in Suite # 7154, September 5^th – 8th, 2019 in Denver, CO.

Pricing & Availability

The Klipsch Cornwall IV (US MSRP is $2,999 each) is available through Certified Heritage Dealers.  UK and EU pricing will be confirmed nearer to the European launch, expected in Q1 2020. They will be available through Klipsch’s UK distributor, Henley Audio.
