Overview
Filling the sides of a home theater with wide, room spanning sound is the job of this Klipsch pair, using wide dispersion cabinets with horn loaded titanium tweeters and Cerametallic woofers. A magnetic grille removes for a bolder look.
Home theater owners get surround effects that spread across the room even with imperfect speaker placement. They are passive and need a receiver, and the horn tweeters give a forward, detailed sound that some find bright.
Who it's for
Movie fans building a Klipsch Reference Premiere system will get a matched sound. Those without a receiver need powered or wireless speakers.
Pros and cons
- Wide dispersion for side seating
- Horn tweeter for clear dialogue
- Braced, divided cabinet
- Magnetic removable grille
- Requires a receiver
- Horn sound may seem bright
- Large for surround speakers
Performance notes
The wide dispersion design spreads sound across the listening area, which helps when seats sit close to the speakers. The horn controls tweeter direction for clear dialogue, and cabinet bracing reduces vibration. Output depends on the receiver driving them.
