About the Klipsch Cornwall IV Floorstanding Speakers
At Rapallo, the Klipsch Cornwall IV Floorstanding Speakers are all about scale, presence and realism.
This is a speaker that doesn’t just play music, it recreates the feeling of a live performance. The combination of the large 15-inch woofer and horn-loaded midrange and tweeter delivers incredible dynamics and effortless output, even at lower listening levels.
Compared to the Forte IV, the Cornwall IV offers greater scale, deeper bass and more room-filling sound, making it ideal for larger spaces. It’s also an exceptional match for tube amplifiers thanks to its very high sensitivity.
The Klipsch Cornwall IV is available for demonstration at Rapallo AV, where you can experience its scale, dynamics and live presentation in a properly configured Hi-Fi system.

What the Experts Say
- Stereophile – The Cornwall IV is praised for its effortless dynamics, powerful bass and highly engaging presentation, making it a standout in the Heritage range.
- Hi-Fi Reviews – Reviewers highlight its ability to deliver live-scale sound with impressive refinement and tonal balance.
- TONEAudio First Test – “Yes, Cornwall IV rocks. But it also feels entirely at home with jazz and laidback fare, be it folk or a solo violin piece. No speaker does everything right. Yet Cornwall IV’s versatility furthers its appeal—and should-be designation as a music lover’s design in the same way Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell reigns as a musician’s musician. Others are flashier, faster, more finessed. Few, however, demonstrate such an innate knack for how to play notes, how to sculpt them and let them fade, how to serve the collective whole, and how to hold an audience’s attention for hours on end.” Read the full review >>
