90° x 90° Silicon Composite Hybrid Tractrix Horn
The new Reference Premiere speakers have a new, larger 90° x 90° silicone composite hybrid Tractrix® horn. This provides a more efficient transfer of high-frequency waves into the listening area. The updated horn also delivers best-in-class high-frequency reproduction and controlled directivity. This, in turn, creates a more accurate soundstage and larger sweet spot in the room for your home theater system. The phase plug and compression molded silicone face ensure smooth frequency response.
Vented Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) Tweeter
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. LTS tweeters are a hallmark of previous Reference Premiere Series, making it a core component of some of the best speakers in the world. For Series II, Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) 1” tweeters are still a hallmark of Reference Premiere home theater speakers line. LTS Titanium tweeters minimize distortion so you hear more details, right down to the backing vocals of your favorite songs. The vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics, resulting in enhanced detail and clarity in high-frequency reproduction.
Ceremetallic Bass Drivers
A signature feature on the Reference Premiere series speakers, the Cerametallic™ woofers have been updated for absolutely flawless sound reproduction, minimum distortion, and maximum efficiency. Lower distortion is always a good thing. For Reference Premiere speakers, that comes from making a few additions to our Cerametallic woofer design. “Aluminum shorting rings were added to the current woofer designs,” says Product Director Vlad Grodzinskiy. “...the result is lower distortion compared to the previous generation of Reference Premiere speakers.” The updated Cerametallic woofer design also incorporates higher power handling and greater output. What you get is some of the cleanest sound on the planet for your movies, music, and games.
Wide Dispersion
As the cornerstone of every Klipsch surround speaker, proprietary Wide Dispersion Surround Technology (WDST) provides astounding sonic detail – for lifelike, cinematic sound in any room, even with less-than-ideal placement configurations.
Enhanced Construction
The new Reference Premiere series features strong and flexible removable magnetic grilles for an elegant transition from powerful showstopper to discrete performance piece, improved audiophile grade aluminum speaker binding post inputs, internally braced cabinet to add rigidity further reducing vibration and resonance for improved sound clarity, and satin painted baffles with a scratch resistant finish.
Cosmetic Overhaul
One of the truly unique aspects of any Klipsch speaker is how it looks and fits into your home decor. We refer to our Heritage speakers as "heirloom pieces" to be passed down from generation to generation. We want the new Reference Premiere speakers to be a part of your home for years to come as well. “The new speaker designs are aimed at showcasing the elegant, detailed craftsmanship,” says Grodzinskiy. The cosmetic updates include a curve extending to the bottom of the cabinets that runs parallel to the horn. A subtle curve on the grille frame inverts the angle, a contrast from the first generation of Reference Premiere speakers.
