Klipsch Heritage Klipschorn 80th Anniversary

THE SPEAKER THAT STARTED IT ALL

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, lowdistortion, 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 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 80th Anniversary Edition. 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.

HAND-CRAFTED IN HOPE

Every Klipschorn 80th Anniversary Edition is hand-crafted in Hope, Arkansas—the birthplace of Klipsch and the heart of its enduring legacy. For over eight decades, skilled artisans have built speakers here with meticulous attention to detail, and the Klipschorn 80th Anniversary Edition stands as a culmination of that tradition. luxury details.

THROWBACK TRACKS

Adding to its exclusivity, the Klipschorn 80th Anniversary Edition includes a rare auditory time capsule: a limited-run 180g vinyl pressing of Paul W. Klipsch’s original KlipschTape recordings. These early 1950s stereo demonstrations – long out of print and in some cases never-before heard – offer listeners a direct connection to the origins of high-fidelity sound.
