Product Description

Audio as art. This pair of custom restored Cornwall I's are the culmination of why we do what we do; Giving well loved vintage gear a second life. The face has been shaved flush. They've been professionally veneered in stunning bookmatched panels of Rosewood. We've replaced the original speaker terminals with silver banana terminal cups and relocated them to the bottom of the speaker. The tweeters have been upgraded with Crites diaphragms. The crossovers have been rebuilt with Mundorf EVO oil caps. We've recessed magnets behind the veneer to accept a custom grill on standoffs. And we've added 1.5" antique brass casters to ease room positioning. They are the best sounding (and looking) Cornwall set that we've ever had the pleasure listening to.To add your own personal touch, the new owner of this exceptional set gets to choose the grill cloth from 100's of unique options that we have available.

LINER NOTES The genesis of something very, very special occurred in a tiny tin shed in Hope, Arkansas in 1946 when Paul W. Klipsch, genius, madman and maverick, designed and hand built the legendary Klipschorn speaker to enable people, for the first time ever, to experience the power, detail and emotion of a live performance at home. Remember great sound? We do, too. Like all Klipsch Heritage speakers, The Cornwall is a lifetime investment. Built to the strictest Klipsch standards, these speakers offer years of gratifying performance. Originally made in the USA by proud craftsmen in Hope, Arkansas.
