Era

Speakers from the 1950s

Where the horn speakers still made today began. Paul Klipsch's Heresy arrived in 1957 as the center speaker for a three-channel Klipschorn setup and played at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. The Cornwall followed in 1959, named in a contest because it could go in a corner or against a wall, and the earliest ones used Electro-Voice and Jensen parts. Both ran into the 1980s, so the year on the label matters.
