Klipsch XB10 (Black)
2-Way Black Icon X Series Bookshelf Speaker Pair
542498072
Full sound for your flat panel
Designed with crisp, dynamic listening in mind, the Icon X Series XB10 employs a premium titanium diaphragm compression driver and high-output fiberglass cone woofer. But what makes this flat panel speaker far 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 XB10 to deliver an extremely smooth response with constant directivity.
The beauty of the Icon Series
The XB10's beautifully crafted aluminum extrusion enclosure features an eye-catching black-grain anodized finish and high-gloss black accents. In fact, it's a look that brings a splash of sophistication to any room. For increased placement flexibility, the XB10 audio speaker can be paired with the company's optional XFS floor stand. The entire Icon Series is performance art at its best, capturing the spirit of Klipsch's past and pushing them into the future. It is a brilliant representation 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 part of Klipsch's Icon Series, a six-model lineup designed to bring stunning audio to today's stunning flat-panel displays, the XB10 bookshelf speaker utilizes a new wide dispersion Tractrix Horn-loaded tweeter with XT technology. This proprietary design allows the XB10 to diffuse a smooth, enveloping 80-degree by 80-degree sound pattern from its extremely thin extrusion enclosure. As with all Klipsch horn-loaded technology, this version also produces more output using less energy and delivers the company's signature dynamic sound.
Klipsch technology for pristine sound
The XB10 features a high-output 4-inch black fiberglass cone woofer along with a single 0.75-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver. Featuring a sleek, black grain anodized finish with black gloss accents, the XB10 proves that you don't have to sacrifice great sound for great style. For increased placement flexibility, the XB10 can be paired with the optional XFS floor stands.

I purchased these as replacements for my Klipsch Synergy 2.1 book shelf speakers that I have been using as surround speakers. The Synergy worked well, but I needed to clean up the look in the living room, and having speakers that hung on the wall won the approval of my Wife. I did some research, and the XB-10 seemed a great product. I searched and found Vanns, and you cannot beat the price at which you guys offered them for so I ordered them. I received them a few days later. I just installed them, which went easily. I just tested them with a few movies I am used to watching, and they are everything I hoped they would be. Thank you.

This is the second pair of Klipsch speakers that I have purchased from Vanns and both Vanns service and Klipsch speakers are amazing! The XB-10s were my choice to complete my home theater setup. The beauty of the speakers along with the high-performance specs and the high-fidelity sound of the Klipsch was the incentive to purchase. Anyone who enjoys music will benefit from the great volume , small size and the beautiful finish!!

The speakers sound amazing. They are perfect for a system where you already have a sub because they have amazing mids and his and cut out the base that you wouldnt want coming from your surround speakers. My only complaint about them is that since they dont produce much base Klipsch could have made them a bit thinner as they are quite bulky hanging from the wall. For looks purposes I would recommend putting them on shelves rather than hanging them using the mounting brackets because they do look a bit funny hanging on the wall.

We needed to move the towers out to give some room around our entertainment center so we searched for bookshelf size speakers that would save space without sacrificing sound quality. We listened to a variety of them in stores and looked online also. We finally decided Klipsch but on a lower model but when we looked online at Vanns we were able to go two models better for the same cost. The XB10 is perfect for Movies, music and general TV. We love the sound range we get from them. Even without a bass speaker we get plenty of clean sound from lows to highs and we are very happy. I cant wait until we have a bigger home in which we can hang these for the back surround speakers. JJ

I was looking for some small speakers to round out my 7.1 system for side channel sound. Was not disappointed! Terrific sound for my small area. Now I can actually hear what they are saying on the screen. After speaking with the customer support team , to see if these speakers could handle my amplifier, these speakers performed as promised.

I was looking for four bookshelf speakers to compliment my Mythos 9 and Definitive Technology Subwoofer. After hours and perhaps days of searching, I decided on the Klipsh XB10 speakers for specifications, quality, price and aesthetics. I am very satisfied with the speakers. They look and sound great. I built a set of stands for them and am very happy with the total end product!

I bought these speakers from Vanns and was really impressed with the sound quality. I needed something for the rear channel that could be mounted on the wall. These were the best speakers I found.
Vanns had them for 50 off with free shipping. I mounted them using omnimount ball mounts.
Look good and sound good.
On negative side. I wish the speakers came with better mounts designed for these speakers. The omni mount is $40 and I had to get two of them.

Being a fan of Klipsch surround speakers I wanted to step up from the Klipsch Quintet III for my front L and R channels. These both look and sound great as they are stylish and unobtrusive. With the custom Klipsch stands if you do not have a suitable shelf or wall area they look much fancier than Bose. With their design and finish it is a perfect match with our modern decorating style.

Bought these a few weeks back as a, hopefully, upgrade to some old Cambridge Sound System LRs. The reviews were great on these speakers so I wanted to try them out. Reviews were correct - these speakers really rock! I listen to both music and home theatre and they add a nice mid and high end mix that is ultra clear. Coupled with my RC-52, 12 sub the sound is truly awesome.

They are very nice speakers i am very happy the only down point even though it isnt a major pain they are a bit bigger than what i imagined, but they can be wall mounted and there are stands made for them so placment at first for me was a little bit of a problem but insignificant really, great speakers great sound very happy.
