XF48: The kind of sound that wins awards!
Flagship (definition): a leader; the best or most important member of a group; a paragon. Example: The XF-48 floorstanding loudspeaker from Klipsch. It's time to rediscover the role audio plays in your home theater. The winner of awards for audio-reproduction excellence from CES Innovations and Exc!te Custom Retailer, this flagship floorstander from Klipsch's Icon X Series combines innovative Klipsch technologies to deliver an audio experience unlike any other. First, while it's titanium-diaphragm tweeter with patent-pending XT Tractrix Horn technology serves up crisp, vibrant high-frequency sound, dual woofers paired with two passive radiators reproduce controlled, nuanced bass audio that is so deep you can both hear and feel it. Finally, fueling your XF-48 audio experience are 110W of built-in power amplification. There's no need to drain power from your receiver — this speaker drives flagship audio.
Klipsch technology for pristine sound
The XF48 achieves full-range, deep bass response by employing dual high-output black fiberglass cone woofers that utilize powerful neodymium motor structures, two passive radiators to augment the speaker's bass output, and a titanium diaphragm compression driver for precision, clarity and effortless power. Featuring a sleek, black grain anodized finish with black gloss accents, the XF48 proves that you don't have to sacrifice great sound for great style.
The beauty of the Icon Series
You'll discover the XF48's performance has but one rival: style. Its beautifully crafted aluminum extruded enclosure, featuring an anodized black-grain finish and high-gloss black accents, is the direct result of Klipsch engineers' quest for perfect balance. The entire Icon Series is performance at its best, capturing the spirit of Klipsch's past and pushing them into the future. It is a brilliant presentation of how their products have evolved and remained desirable over time. After just one listen, the Icon sound will be imprinted in your consciousness forever.
Add premium audio to your premium picture
As the flagship speaker in Klipsch's new Icon Series, a six-model lineup designed to bring stunning audio to today's stunning flat-panel displays, the fully-active XF48 floorstander utilizes an all-new wide dispersion Tractrix Horn-loaded tweeter with XT technology. This proprietary design allows the XF48 to diffuse a smooth, enveloping 80° by 80° sound pattern from its extremely thin aluminum extrusion enclosure. As with all Klipsch horn-loaded technology, this version also produces more output using less energy, meaning you don't need a lot of amplifier power to drive the speaker.
Fully active floorstander
When designing the fully active Icon X Series XF48 floorstander, Klipsch engineers refused to hold back. The speaker intelligently employs dual high-output fiberglass cones woofers with powerful neodymium motor structures and two passive radiators to unleash the kind of bass you hear and feel. But what makes this flat-panel speaker remarkably superior is an all-new, patent-pending Tractrix Horn-loaded tweeter with XT technology. For over 60 years, horns have been the driving force behind Klipsch's stunningly precise sound, and this latest design moves them farther ahead by allowing the slender XF48 to deliver an extremely smooth response with constant directivity. With a powerful 110W amplifier in the speaker, you can hook the XF48 directly to a television with a variable audio output without having to go through a separate amplifier.
Don't forget the cables
If you are using a Blu-ray player, a receiver, or anything else that is capable of sending a high definition signal, don't forget to purchase the right cables. Many people dont realize what a significant difference the right cables make, and when they get their new high definition equipment home, they think the equipment itself is to blame when the sound isn't as good as it should be. This is because most components (Blu-ray, receivers, etc) don't come with cables, so people often use whatever they have around the house, or buy cheap cables, thinking "it will do." Another reason people don't buy the right cables is because trying to figure out which cables you need can be daunting, and it's hard to know where to start. Our sales representatives are there to explain all your options, so you can make the best purchase and get the most out of your speakers.
