Paul W. Klipsch's Greatest Achievement Lives On

When Paul Klipsch designed the original Cornwall in 1959, he solved a problem that still plagues speaker designers today: how to achieve horn-loaded dynamics without requiring corner placement. The Cornwall IV represents six decades of continuous refinement of that original vision, hand-built in the same Hope, Arkansas facility where Paul himself oversaw production. This isn't just a speaker—it's a piece of American audio history that happens to embarrass speakers costing twice as much.

The Speaker That Turns 1 Watt Into Concert Hall Experience

The Cornwall IV's 102dB sensitivity isn't just a specification—it's a revelation. Your precious 300B SET amp suddenly sounds like a powerhouse. That vintage McIntosh develops chest-pounding dynamics at volume setting 2. Even a modest receiver becomes a fire-breathing dragon. This extraordinary efficiency comes from Klipsch's perfected horn-loading technology, where every driver uses acoustic amplification rather than brute electrical force.
