90° x 90° SILICON COMPOSITE HYBRID TRACTRIX® HORN
Horn loading maximizes efficiently and increases detail while focusing high
frequencies towards the listening area. Proprietary Tractrix® geometry provides the
most efficient transfer of high frequency waves into the listening area. The phase
plug and compressed molded silicon face ensure smooth frequency response. When
combined, the cleanest, most natural sound possible is created.
LINEAR TRAVEL SUSPENSION (LTS) TITANIUM DIAPHRAGM TWEETER
The exclusive Linear Travel Suspension minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed
performance. LTS tweeters are a hallmark of previous Reference lines, making it a
core component of some of the best speakers in the world.
VENTED TWEETER DESIGN
The new vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted
harmonics, resulting in enhanced detail and clarity in high frequency reproduction.
SPUN COPPER CERAMETALLIC WOOFERS
A signature feature on the Reference Premiere series, Cerametallic™ woofers are
exceptionally rigid and lightweight for minimal distortion and maximum efficiency.
When paired with the Tractrix horn-loaded LTS tweeter, it provides the highest
speaker efficiency in its class.
FURNITURE GRADE MATERIALS AND FINISHES
Finishes include ebony vinyl, walnut vinyl and piano gloss. Ebony and walnut models
boast satin painted baffles with a scratch resistant finish, while the premium piano
gloss cabinet is hand-sanded for a clear, mirror-like finish. The mirror-life piano gloss
finish is seamless due to the meticulous hand sanded and hand polished process.
STRONG, FLEXIBLE, REMOVABLE GRILLE
Attaches magnetically for an elegant transition from powerful showstopper to
discrete performance piece
One of the best budgetary shell acoustic systems.
No
This is the new Klipsch 2022 model year. She just became even better than the previous performance. Acoustics is perfect for all entry -level systems. And due to proprietary high sensitivity, this acoustics can play rock better than many brothers in sound and can easily sound better than more expensive models of acoustic systems. At the same time, in spite of the modest finish film, due to the texture, outwardly, this acoustics look even better than some systems with a natural veneer. The appearance has become even more beautiful and interesting. And the new form of the Ruper, which now goes to the edges of the case, has become better for both sound and appearance.

Original reviews
A new Ruper design, there is a semblance of legs for absorption of sounds
The maples ceased to be covered with copper
There was a cardboard leg, a new dome 90*90 of the minuses of the case, as it was a thin plywood and remained, I also did not like new maples .. In the sound, my ear did not particularly see the difference between them and R51. True, I think it's time to update the wires.

Paul W. Klipsch believed four principles to be the foundation for great sound. They continue to drive the design of every new Klipsch speaker, today and tomorrow: High Efficiency / Low Distortion Klipsch horn technology is highly efficient, providing more accurate sound with less power and less distortion – resulting in louder, cleaner audio. Klipsch’s Law: Efficiency is inversely proportional to distortion. Controlled Directivity Klipsch horn technology accurately directs sound to the proper locations, which, in turn, creates a more lifelike soundstage without wasting acoustic energy where sound is not needed or desired. Wide Dynamic Range The softest sounds are reproduced with remarkable clarity and the loudest sounds are delivered without harshness or distortion – with the greatest possible range between the softest and loudest sounds. Flat Frequency Response Audio is delivered without frequency bias – no unnatural highs, mids or lows – reproducing recorded sound as accurately as possible without colorization.
