Klipsch Cornwall III speaker systems are an improved version of the famous Klipsch Cornwall Hi-End speakers developed in 1959. The second version of acoustics was produced until 1990.
At numerous requests from fans of Klipsch acoustics, the company resumed production of the new Cornwall III speaker systems in 2006.
The Klipsch company has developed a new and improved Cornwall III model, which, it is claimed, has significantly improved and surpassed its prototype in terms of sound quality thanks to the use of new speakers. This is a three-way speaker, equipped with new radiators for medium and high frequencies with titanium diffusers and horn loading, as well as a huge 36 cm woofer with an audiophile fabric suspension and a paper diffuser.
A signature feature of Klipsch is the use of loudspeakers, which opens up the possibility of increasing sensitivity, improving dynamics and reducing nonlinear distortions.
Cornwall III is part of the Heritage series. Its extraordinary sensitivity - 102 dB (1 W / 1 m), and the maximum sound pressure of 119 dB provide dynamics similar to the dynamics of concert sound.
Domed titanium diaphragms of the inch "high-frequency" K-107-TI, as well as the medium-frequency driver K-53-TI (diameter 44.5 mm), contribute to high sound accuracy. Thanks to their low inertia and high rigidity, they meticulously work out the temporal characteristics of the electric signal The short working stroke of the coils of all three emitters, which is necessary for the development of high sound pressure, also has a positive effect. The HF horn has the shape of a tractris, and the "medium-frequency" one has exponents. Both loudspeakers have a wider directivity in the horizontal plane, and the high-frequency opening angle even exceeds the midrange. This is done on purpose, to compensate for the more active absorption of HF vibrations in the living room, on the contrary, at medium frequencies, reflections are minimized not only from the ceiling and floor, but also from the side walls.
The 3-band design provides a wide reproducible range - from 34 Hz to 20 kHz. Separation frequencies of 800 Hz and 5 kHz contribute to the natural and clean sound of the mid-range.
To equalize the sensitivity of the horn emitters and the bass speaker, the diffuser of the latter, made of pressed paper, has a large area (diameter 381 mm). Its design does not require a large working stroke of the coil, as it immediately affects a large mass of air. This made it possible to use an audiophile solution - a woven suspension in the form of 4 small folds with latex impregnation.
It is not surprising that a phase vector is used. It is deliberately stylized as a retro-slit, although its pipe stretches 17 cm in length.
