Klipsch has recently launched the Icon W series of home theater speakers, including five speakers, the WF-35 and WF-34 floorstanding speakers, the WB-14 bookshelf speaker, the WC-24 center channel and the WS-24 surround speaker. And all of these speakers feature exclusive Klipsch's XT Tractrix Horn-loaded technology, used by Klipsch for almost 60 years.

The WF-35 and WF-34 floorstanders each employ three high-output fiberglass cone woofers 5.25-inch and 4.5-inch respectively, paired with a 1-inch titanium tweeter mated to an 80-degree by 80-degree round Tractrix Horn.

The WB-14 bookshelf uses one 4.5-inch fiberglass cone woofer, while the WC-24 center channel and WS-24 surround have two. All of these models utilize 1-inch titanium diaphragm compression drivers.

All models are currently available in espresso and Cabernet finishes. Here are the prices: $1,499 for a pair of WF-35 floorstanders, $1,199 for a pair of WF-34 floorstanders, $599 for a pair of WB-14 bookshelf models, $499 for each WC-24 center channel and $749 for a pair of WS-24 surrounds.

Following the introduction of the Image X10 last November, Klipsch expands its Image line to include the slightly larger X5. Bigger by only 2mm, this minimal size difference makes the X5 easier and slightly less expensive to manufacture, said Klipsch. The headphones employ balanced full-range armature drivers within electroplated aluminum housings with translucent patent-pending contour ear gels.

The Image X5 is compatible with the iPod, iPhone and virtually any device with a standard headphone jack. These headphones also come with a carrying pouch, an airplane adaptor and an ear gel cleaning tool. Priced at $249.99, the Image X5 headphones will be available for purchase late next month.

With the introduction of the P-39F floorstanding speaker last year, Klipsch established new standards for audio excellence and visual impact. Now, the company is bringing the same design principles and style to six other Palladium Series speakers: the P-38F and P-37F floorstanders, P-17B bookshelf speaker, P-27C center channel, P-27S surround and P-312W subwoofer.

The P-38F and P-37F floorstanding speakers feature the flagship P-39F’s technology and design in slightly smaller, but equally stunning, packages. The Palladium P-17B and P-27C speakers feature 3-way design, while the floorstanding models offer 3.5-way performance. Also, all models, except the P-312W subwoofer, load 7-inch woofers (8-inch for the P-38) and the famous Tractrix horn-loaded midrange and supertweeter from the P-39. The subwoofer features three 12-inch woofers and a built-in amplifier.

The entire Klipsch Palladium Series is expected to be available worldwide for purchase in June.

Klipsch will launch in May for $1,299.99 the CS-700 2.1-channel home theater system, bigger than the CS-500 and with a 200W wireless subwoofer. Each satellite employs dual magnetically shielded 3-inch woofers along with a 0.75-inch magnetically shielded tweeter and the subwoofer utilizes an 8-inch, down-firing woofer. The progressive scan DVD player has 1080i HDMI output, an AM/FM tuner and three auxiliary inputs, allowing users to connect other audio devices, such as an iPod.

The CS-700 also serves as a hub for wirelessly transmitting CD-quality audio to its subwoofer and other KlipschCast products such as the RoomGroove iPod speaker.

Klipsch focused on performance, quality and beauty when designing its new ICON speaker series for flat-panel displays. This series includes six models of speaker: the award-winning XF-48 floorstander, XL-23 and XL-12 LCR speakers, XB-10 bookshelf/satellite speaker as well as the XW-500d and XW-300d subwoofers.

All of these speakers, except for the subwoofers, feature exclusive XT Tractrix Horn-loaded technology and are crafted of extruded aluminum that feature an anodized black-grain finish with high-gloss black accents. The ICONS series uses fiberglass cone woofers associated with titanium diaphragm compression drivers, besides the flagship model XF-48 employs two passive radiators for a better low-frequency response. The sealed subwoofers feature a black aluminum-look finish with high-gloss black accents and a built-in amplifier that delivers 300W (XW-300d) or 500W (XW-500d).

The XF-48 ($2,498/pair), XL-23 ($499/each), XB-10 ($499/each) and XFS floor stands ($299/pair) are shipping now, while the XL-12 ($299/each), XW-500d ($999) and XW-300d ($699) will become available later this winter.

The latest earphones from Klipsch which are supposed to be the world’s smallest and lightest full-range in-ear headphone design are now available.

IMAGE earphones utilize patent-pending Contour Ear Gels, which are anatomically designed to accurately fit inside the human ear canal. These soft, oval silicon tips reduce ear fatigue as well as provide an amazing seal for excellent noise isolation and increased bass response, thanks to the exclusive KG926 balanced micro-armatures. Aesthetically pleasing, IMAGE features aluminum bodies finished in anodized copper and sleek, aerodynamic-shaped black "tails". These flexible "tails" reduce cable stress and serve as an acoustic dampener to minimize cable noise.

Priced at $349, IMAGE works with the iPhone and any device that has a standard headphone jack, also it comes with a faux-leather carrying case and compact pouch, a 0.25-inch adaptor, an airline adaptor, five sets of ear gels and an ear gel cleaning tool.

Klipsch announced its new high-performance 2.1ch system which simulates the effects of a 5.1ch setup.

With just two satellites, a subwoofer and an A/V center, the compact CS-500 system uses digital processing circuitry to simulate the effect of a larger, six-speaker home theater system. Each satellite employs dual magnetically shielded 2.5-inch high output medium and a 0.75-inch magnetically shielded tweeter, the subwoofer employs a 6.5-inch woofer.

The A/V center features a built-in Class-D amplifier that distributes 35 watts of power to each satellite and 100 watts of power to the subwoofer. It also includes Dolby Virtual Speaker technology along with a progressive scan DVD player, an AM/FM tuner with 20 station presets, an universal IR remote control and three auxiliary inputs.
