New from Klipsch - Large Bookshelf Heritage Rebellion

Klipsch announced an interesting speaker at 

Unfortunately what we don't have is physical dimensions or even the size of the woofer, unless you happen to know the K-81-EP is in fact 8", but these seem very interesting, and I know many of the waveguide geeks over at DIYaudio will be pleased to see it.

Klipsch also introduced a full-size, 2-way horn with DSP crossover as well.  Honestly very interesting products.  The horns / waveguides will really appeal to many for their ability to ignore a lot of room issues.

I’m a little perplexed by Klipsh releasing these with no specs other than the price. No dimensions, no nothing.  However,I’m not in the marketing business. I wish Klipsh well. I really want a long standing, American company to succeed.

@rocray - Yeah, the PR has been light on the details.  Besides the bookshelves appearing to have 8" speakers (inferred from past Klipsch models with similar model numbers) we don't know much about what's actually coming out.

However I have to say I'm really intrigued! :)

Hi Erik - 

Brisbane HiFi has reported specifications for the Klipsch Rebellion on its web-site:  

https://brisbanehifi.com.au/products/rebellion-h-8-premium-bookshelf-loudspeaker?srsltid=AfmBOoqA3D6nzRKl0sFuPKj4hl-zyH1ybKzFfkXQ7yMKWu4JfbL1OPmH

What surprised me is that the speaker is composed of MDF, covered with a real wood veneer.  I would have expected the use of plywood or balsa, rather than MDF.  

I have written to Klipsch Support to see if these specs are legit.  

Be well, 

Rich
