Klipsch Cornwall III Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Cherry) Product Description:
- Floor standing speaker.
Product Description
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.

Superb Sound Quality
By racketmaven
I bought the Cornwall as I heard they were an affordable alternative to the Klipschorn. The sound quality and precision is incredible! These speaker thrive on hard pounding rock music. For concert videos and live performances the sound is simply incredible. You really don't need a powered sub as the bass performance of these speakers is outstanding.Only downside is size, weight and SAR (Spousal Acceptance Factor). These speakers look and sound like the roadies should be wheeling them in for a concert. If you are cool with their bulk you simply cannot buy a better sounding speaker for rock music regardless of price.

Pretty amazing
By wuboyblue
This is a big, powerfull speaker that really speaks for itself, from low volume to really high volumes, very few speakers can hold up in comparison, these are capable of 101 db @ 1 watt/ 1 meter. this alone and the capability to go into the 120 + db range make these a really powefull addition to any home stereo or home theatre system.The dynamic range and absoulte sound capabilities of these speakers is only rivaled by a few other products from this company, Klipsch is the oldest American speaker manufacturer and for good reason, they don't make poor quality stuff. They are clear and articulate from low (conversation level) volume, to cranking "The Fast and The Furious".Like any product from the heritage line of Klipsch, it is an investment, I have had mine for over 20 yesrs and they handle the new digital technology with the same incredible sound quality they did back in the analog days.

Solid Performer for the Audiophile
By Spencer Bailey
I have been using Klipsch speakers since 1985. The Cornwall III's are some of the best speakers out there. They are meant for the serious listener, have a good size and weight, necessary for their efficiency and staging.Folks, I have owned speakers much more expensive and I still come back to the Cornwalls. They are balanced, clean and will let you hear every note and nuance in your music. If you own a good turntable, then your vinyl will take on a new life.One of the best attributes about the Heritage line is that they sound good at any volume. Many speakers need some juice to get them to sing. Not the case with the Cornwall's. They are still able to give you a full sound-stage without having to blow your hair back. In converse, if you want to have your Rockin' moment, then be prepared for some serious volume. Their efficiency allows them to be run on modest amplification, thus you don't have to break the bank with a monster amp.If the Cornwall has any drawback, it would be it's size. They are not small or light. They are a functional piece of furniture. So, pick your finish, make the room and prepare yourself for some serious sound quality.
