Klipsch Model Cornwall II Speaker System

For all of you old-school Klipsch fans, this classic review of the Cornwall II, published in the January 1969 issue of Audio magazine, discusses how this console-size speaker produced awesome bass, and could be driven to "concert hall" levels using only a 30-watt amplifier. Who knew they used the term "awesome" back then?

"Placed in a corner, the unit produced some awesome bass, and could be driven to "concert hall" levels with a 30-watt power amplifier. Thus, compared to other direct-radiator speakers the Cornwall II could be considered a high-efficiency system."

"When connected at reduced level as the bridged center speaker of a Klipschorn-Cornwall stereo array, across a 25-ft. wall, it blended in perfectly with the flanking speakers, and enhanced the stereo performance of the system. This combination recreated the most exciting sound images we have heard to date in the home."

"When played singly or in pairs, the Cornwall II provided a big, clear reproduction -- especially from clean source material. We also tried a pair of them in a small room. Performance here was impressive, too, at various listening levels."
