Klipsch in American Auburn: A Stunning New Finish for the Heritage Series Speakers
For over 75 years, Klipsch has defined what’s possible in home audio - melding bold acoustic engineering with classic design to create speakers that stand the test of time. Now, that legacy takes a rich, visual turn. The iconic Klipsch Heritage Series, beloved for its horn-loaded precision and timeless sound, now features the all-new American Auburn finish. With deep amber hues and refined grain patterns, this luxurious wood veneer offers a warm, modern update to the Natural Cherry finish it succeeds.
Unveiled alongside the new Klipschorn AK7 and La Scala AL6, the American Auburn finish embodies Klipsch’s continuing commitment to craftsmanship, acoustic innovation, and heritage design. Each model in the Heritage lineup - Klipschorn AK7, La Scala AL6, Cornwall IV, Forte IV, and Heresy IV - now pairs sonic excellence with heirloom-quality beauty.
Klipschorn AK7: Legendary Sound Reinvented
As the original Klipsch loudspeaker, the Klipschorn is the foundation of Paul W. Klipsch’s revolutionary approach to sound - designed to bring the concert hall into the home. The Klipschorn AK7 iteration furthers this tradition with modern enhancements: a K-406M Tractrix midrange horn with patented Mumps technology and a K-771 compression driver with an extended phase plug for expansive high-frequency dispersion.
The fully horn-loaded design, corner-placement optimization, and 15-inch woofer in a folded bass horn create unmatched dynamic scale and clarity. Now finished in American Auburn, the Klipschorn AK7 is as visually striking as it is sonically commanding - making it the crown jewel of any audiophile’s system.
La Scala AL6: Heritage Power, Modern Versatility
Originally introduced in 1963 to deliver Klipschorn performance in more flexible spaces, the La Scala AL6 brings thunderous dynamics to rooms where corner loading isn’t possible. This latest version refines that mission with a K-1133-HP 3” midrange compression driver, K-771 high-frequency driver, and a newly optimized horn-loaded vented system for deeper, fuller bass.
The result is a speaker that handles everything from orchestral detail to cinematic slam with clarity and control. Clad in American Auburn, the La Scala AL6 blends classic presence with contemporary elegance—perfect for those who want uncompromising performance in a visually refined package.
Cornwall IV: Balanced Power and Vintage Presence
Introduced in 1959, the Cornwall sits at the intersection of bold output and rich, vintage warmth. The Cornwall IV features a massive 15-inch woofer, redesigned K-702 midrange horn, and Tractrix ports for punchy bass with low distortion. This three-way loudspeaker is a standout for those who demand big sound and wide room coverage.
The addition of the American Auburn finish enhances its substantial silhouette, turning the Cornwall IV into a statement piece that honors its vintage roots while elevating its aesthetic for today’s interiors.
Forte IV: Compact Form, Full-Range Mastery
Since 1985, the Forte has held a special place in the Klipsch lineup - compact enough for modern spaces, but sonically powerful enough to command attention. The Forte IV features a 12-inch woofer, 1.75-inch K-702 midrange compression driver, and a massive 15-inch passive radiator that delivers astonishing low-frequency extension.
An updated K-703-M horn ensures wide, consistent dispersion, and the new American Auburn finish gives the Forte a rich visual identity that complements its legacy of high performance. It’s the perfect choice for listeners who want room-filling sound with design-savvy proportions.
Heresy IV: Compact Design, Legendary Sound
First introduced in 1957, the Heresy is the most compact speaker in the Heritage Series - but don’t let its size fool you. The Heresy IV packs a 12-inch woofer, K-702 midrange driver, and rear Tractrix port into a design that delivers impactful bass and brilliant midrange clarity.
With placement flexibility that suits smaller rooms or more discreet setups, the Heresy IV now arrives in American Auburn, adding warmth and elegance to its bold sonic footprint. Whether on stands or nestled into cabinetry, it offers true high-end performance in a design that fits anywhere.
American Auburn: Craftsmanship Meets Sonic Legacy
Each Klipsch Heritage Series loudspeaker is handcrafted in Hope, Arkansas, using book-matched wood veneers and precision-selected components. The new American Auburn finish introduces a palette of deep amber tones and captivating grain textures that enhance the character of every speaker. Designed to age gracefully, this premium veneer ensures that each model is as beautiful to behold as it is to hear.
Matched pairs are carefully assembled with sequential serial numbers and grain alignment, ensuring a level of aesthetic integrity that speaks to Klipsch’s enduring values of quality and tradition.
