Klipsch Reference Premiere II Speakers
This speaker line is an upgrade to Klipsch’s already popular Reference series speakers.
Core features throughout the speaker line include the following Klipsch technologies and design features:
- Larger proprietary Tractrix® horn technology to improve high-frequency response and extension while enhancing imaging and dynamics.
- Signature copper Cerametallic™ woofers with aluminum Faraday rings and Tractrix ports provide powerful low frequencies while minimizing distortion and maximizing efficiency.
- An exclusive Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) titanium tweeter maximizes dynamics, delivering detailed performances.
- The speakers are available in two furniture-grade wood finishes – ebony and walnut. Sleek cabinet design details exude refinement with enhanced cabinet bracing, aluminum binding posts, cast aluminum feet, and discrete Dolby Atmos connections that allow for easy and refined elevation speaker integration.
- Signature Klipsch copper trim rings accentuate the tweeter and woofer, which can also be concealed by sturdy yet flexible magnetic grilles.
