Detailed Description
Note:
products are priced as "each."
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. The Cornwall III now includes a riser-base, which was
optional in previous versions.
