Klipschorn: The Speaker That Started It All

80 LEGENDARY YEARS

The Klipschorn 80th Anniversary Limited Edition Loudspeaker is a fully horn-loaded loudspeaker that reimagines the original patented design by Paul W. Klipsch, celebrating 80 years of acoustic innovation.

This limited-edition model blends Klipsch heritage with cutting-edge engineering. Featuring a two-way, high-performance design with an active crossover for exceptional dynamics, clarity, and efficiency – the Klipschorn delivers a powerful, lifelike listening experience that pushes the limits of traditional speaker design. Crafted as both a fine audio reproducer and a design statement, this loudspeaker showcases heirloom-quality materials including book-matched veneer, real brass inlays, and a sandcast aluminum horn.

Each speaker is hand-built in Hope, Arkansas, reflecting decades of craftsmanship, and includes a special 180g vinyl pressing of KlipschTape recordings from the 1950s—offering a rare, immersive connection to the origins of high-fidelity sound.

The Klipschorn 80th Anniversary Edition isn’t just a speaker—it’s a celebration of history, craftsmanship, and uncompromising audio performance.

ORIGIN & EVOLUTION

The Klipschorn 80th Anniversary Edition is more than a loudspeaker—it’s a statement of origin and evolution. Created to celebrate 80 years of acoustic excellence, this limited-edition model reimagines the very first patented design by Paul W. Klipsch, the visionary who set the foundation for high-efficiency, low-distortion, horn-loaded sound. The result is a modern icon that honors its roots while pushing performance into new territory.

HIFI HOTROD - MAXIMUM IMPACT

At its core, the Klipschorn 80th Anniversary Edition is a highly sensitive, highly efficient loudspeaker. Its two-way, fully horn-loaded architecture (featuring a new K-5-K high-frequency horn mated to a high-powered compression driver) delivers explosive dynamics, lifelike detail, and room-filling presence with astonishing ease. The low frequency cabinet contains an eight-foot folded bass horn, like every iconic Klipschorn. The inclusion of an active crossover allows it to transcend traditional sonic limitations, extracting maximum performance and control – bringing listeners closer than ever to the live music experience.

PREMIUM HEIRLOOM QUALITY

Craftsmanship defines every inch of the Klipschorn X-5. Finished in real wood veneer with elegant brass inlays, each speaker features book-matched grain patterns and a striking sandcast aluminum horn. The aesthetic is unmistakably mid-century modern, yet timeless – designed not just to be heard, but admired. This is heirloom-quality audio, built to last generations.
