The Klipsch Cornwall III delivers the full-range bass response of the Klipschorn® with sensitivity and output approaching the fully horn-loaded models.
Features:
Initially introduced in 1959, the Cornwall speaker was designed to serve as a larger, full-range alternative to the Heresy when used as a center channel speaker between two widely spaced Klipschorns.
Thus the Cornwall is likely to be the world's second commercially produced center channel speaker.
The little town of Hope, Arkansas is the birthplace of the Klipsch Cornwall III speaker. Made there since 1959, we are incredibly proud to make this product in the United States.
The third edition of the Klipsch Cornwall speaker is better than ever before. It boasts 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 now includes a riser-base, which was optional in previous versions and is available in a high-quality Black Ash, Cherry, or Walnut wood veneer finish.
Please note: Klipsch Heritage Series products are built to order, handmade in the US at our Hope, Ark. manufacturing facility. Choose "standard shipping" and allow up to 8 weeks turnaround time.

You're not buying a speaker - you're buying a piece of American audio history built on more than 70 years of badass acoustic technology.
Initially introduced in 1959, the Cornwall speaker was designed to serve as a larger, full-range alternative 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.
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 delivers the full-range bass response of the Klipschorn® with sensitivity and output approaching the fully horn-loaded models
