Product Overview

The Klipsch Cornwall IV is one of the most iconic loudspeakers in the Heritage family. Originally introduced in 1959, it has remained celebrated for its extraordinary efficiency, massive soundstage and ability to reproduce music with the energy and realism of a live performance.

The latest generation features upgraded crossovers, a refined midrange compression driver, improved horn geometry and enhanced internal damping. These updates elevate transparency while preserving the unmistakable vigor and immediacy that define Cornwall's reputation.

Listening Experience

The Cornwall IV pair offers a large-scale, expressive and richly textured sound. High frequencies are delivered with finesse and precision through the horn-loaded titanium tweeter, while the redesigned midrange horn produces exceptional clarity, presence and emotional engagement.

Bass performance is nothing short of commanding. The 15" woofer provides deep, physical and highly controlled low frequencies, making drums, bass guitars and orchestral passages feel lifelike and immersive.

The soundstage is wide, tall and holographic, projecting music into the room with remarkable authority. Whether listening to jazz, rock, classical music or live recordings, the Cornwall IV delivers an unforgettable, room-filling performance.

Recommended Room Size

Best suited for medium to large listening rooms, where the speakers can deliver their full dynamic capability. Their rear-ported design benefits from careful placement several inches from the back wall.

Amplifier Pairing

Thanks to their exceptional sensitivity, the Cornwall IV pair performs beautifully with amplifiers providing 20 to 150 watts per channel.

• Tubes bring warmth, harmonic richness and depth—an outstanding match for Heritage speakers.
• Solid-state amplifiers deliver precision, power and firm bass control.
• Class A or high-grade Class D amplification enhances transparency and articulation.

Their efficiency allows them to reveal the character of the amplifier clearly, making component matching a rewarding part of building your system.
