It delivers 102dB sensitivity, a 34Hz to 20kHz frequency response, and a maximum SPL of 119dB, making it one of the most efficient full-range floorstanding speakers in its class. The Cornwall IV is part of the Klipsch Heritage series and is sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Klipsch Cornwall IV compare to the Klipsch La Scala AL5 or Forte IV?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Klipsch Cornwall IV sits between the Forte IV and the La Scala AL5 in the Heritage lineup. The Forte IV is smaller with a 12-inch woofer and passive radiator, while the Cornwall IV uses a larger 15-inch direct-radiating woofer in a bass-reflex cabinet for deeper bass extension to 34Hz. The La Scala AL5 uses a fully horn-loaded bass section for even higher sensitivity and dynamic contrast, but sacrifices some low-frequency extension. Compared to competitors such as the Focal Kanta No. 2 or Sonus faber Olympica Nova III, the Cornwall IV offers significantly higher sensitivity, making it the preferred choice for low-powered tube amplifier pairings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Klipsch Cornwall IV be driven by a low-powered tube amplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Klipsch Cornwall IV is ideally suited to low-powered tube amplifiers. Its 102dB sensitivity means that a single-ended triode amplifier producing as little as 2 to 8 watts can drive the Cornwall IV to realistic listening levels without strain. The 8-ohm nominal impedance is also a comfortable load for most tube amplifier output transformer designs. The Cornwall IV is widely used with amplifiers such as the Line Magnetic 508IA, Dennis Had Inspire, and Decware SE84UFO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Klipsch Tractrix horn technology?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTractrix is a proprietary horn geometry developed by Klipsch that follows a mathematically derived flare rate designed for the most efficient, lowest-distortion acoustic loading of a compression driver. A Tractrix horn expands rapidly near the throat and more gradually toward the mouth, which reduces internal reflections and improves high-frequency dispersion. The Cornwall IV uses Tractrix horns for both the midrange and tweeter, and Tractrix geometry in the bass-reflex port design to reduce air turbulence and port noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Klipsch Mumps technology?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMumps is a patented Klipsch horn modification that adds small protrusions, or bumps, at the throat of a Tractrix horn to correct polar response through the midrange frequency range. Without Mumps, compression driver and horn combinations can exhibit uneven off-axis dispersion, causing inconsistent sound as listeners move around the room. On the Cornwall IV, Mumps is applied to the midrange horn to ensure that the K-702 driver produces even, consistent coverage throughout the listening area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Klipsch Cornwall IV in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Klipsch Cornwall IV is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Klipsch Heritage dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the Cornwall IV in-store and online, with full Klipsch manufacturer warranty support for Canadian customers. The Cornwall IV is sold individually, allowing customers to configure mono or stereo pairs to their specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier power does the Klipsch Cornwall IV require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Klipsch Cornwall IV has a continuous power handling of 100 watts and a peak handling of 400 watts, but its 102dB sensitivity means it performs exceptionally with amplifiers well below that ceiling. In practice, 5 to 50 watts from a quality tube or solid-state amplifier is sufficient for most listening environments. Klipsch recommends avoiding amplifiers with high levels of DC offset or excessive noise, as the Cornwall IV's high sensitivity will resolve amplifier background noise more readily than lower-sensitivity designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Klipsch","offers":[{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":49071326658812,"sku":null,"price":5199.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":49071326691580,"sku":null,"price":5199.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Auburn","offer_id":49071326757116,"sku":null,"price":5199.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/KlipschCornwallVersionIVFloorstandingSpeaker_Each.png?v=1778036842","url":"https:\/\/vinylsound.ca\/products\/klipsch-cornwall-version-iv-floorstanding-speaker-each","provider":"Vinyl Sound Canada Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
