Overview

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.

Features

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.
Closer than ever
The inclusion of an active crossover with the Klipschorn 80th Anniversary Edition 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.
HAND-CRAFTED IN HOPE
Every Klipschorn 80th Anniversary Edition Loudspeaker 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 this loudspeaker stands as a culmination of that tradition.
POWER. DETAIL. EMOTION.
PWK’s dream lives on in every legendary Heritage loudspeaker we make. Built to last a lifetime, each high-performance, handsomely crafted speaker will bring joy to your home for decades to come.
