Klipsch Cornwall clones Floorstanding Loudspeakers KLIPSCH CORNWALL CLONE Selling my latest speaker project, the Klipsch Cornwall clones. I completed these in January 2024 & have enjoyed them immensely. Upon completion they were set up in my dedicated sound room & have never been moved. As such, they present as brand new. I have built a few projects over the years, amongst them some Klipsch La Scalas, Belle Klipsch, Troels Gravesen TL3’s & JBL 4430’s. Of all the systems, my personal favourite has been the Cornwalls. It has almost the same punch as the horn loaded designs, but digs a lot de
Should you jump on it at A$5,250? Against your recent local comps, this sits just below the median of A$5,513 and a touch above the 25th percentile of A$4,850, so it reads as fair to slightly good value rather than a bargain or an ambitious ask. It is not cheap enough to call a clear steal, but it is priced in the right zone for a well-kept example.
That makes sense for a speaker like this: the appeal is the big, effortless, room-filling presentation and the sort of scale and dynamic ease that keeps these classics sought after. If the cabinets, drivers, and grilles are clean, and there’s no sign of rot or crossover drama, a tidy pair at this level is a sensible buy for someone wanting the real thing without waiting for a bargain-bin outlier.

Founded in 1946 in Hope, Arkansas, Klipsch traces its roots to Paul W. Klipsch, a visionary audio engineer and maverick who handcrafted his first speakers in a tin shed behind a dry cleaner. Patented in 1945, the revolutionary Klipschorn corner horn loudspeaker embodied his quest for live-like sound reproduction, drawing from Bell Labs principles to deliver wide frequency range and expansive soundstaging. This American pioneer shook hi-fi foundations, blending acoustic innovation with unyielding craftsmanship, and registered Klipsch & Associates to bring that tin-shed magic to the world.
Klipsch excels in loudspeakers, from flagship horn-loaded models like the enduring Klipschorn to high-fidelity enclosures, drivers, and complete systems for home audio, public address, and even personal computers. While deeply rooted in speakers, the brand has expanded into headphones and music systems, maintaining a focus on efficient, dynamic designs that prioritize clarity and power without excess amplification needs.
Renowned for its heritage-driven efficiency and bold, live-performance sonics, Klipsch holds a commanding mid-to-high-end position in the market, appealing to discerning buyers who value American-made authenticity over mass-market compromise. Neither purely vintage collector bait nor niche boutique, it bridges classic horn technology with modern reliability, earning cult status among audiophiles chasing that bigger, clearer sound Paul Klipsch first chased in 1946.
