For all the audiophiles out there, especially for those looking to buy some new gear to soothe their ears, the new loudspeakers from Klipsch might be exactly what was needed as far as high-quality top-notch audio equipment is concerned.[admark=1]

The P-39F speakers, codenamed Palladium are the new flagship units developed by legendary, worldwide acclaimed manufacturer Klipsch. As far as the promo pictures let us see, it really seems that the Palladium will be a to-die-for piece of tech as they boast a very serious driver complement, horn-loaded tweeters and above all - a design that will most likely fit exceptionally in most decors, from the most traditional and vintage ones to the most modern and futuresque of homes.

As specced by Klipsch, the Palladium units will run on a 3/4" titanium diaphragm tweeter with dual Neodymium magnets and a back chamber, loaded in a Tractrix horn and sporting a flat response between 3kHz and 30kHz. The midrange driver runs on triple high-temperature Neo magnets powering a 4.5" aluminium inverted diaphragm with a 1" copper polepiece and with everything loaded in a separate, sealed enclosure for minimal interference with the other drivers and sporting minimal resonance.

Finally, the LF in the Klipsch Palladium comes from an array comprising three 9" woofers with aluminium-Rohacell-Kevlar alloy concave cones, driven by 1.5" voice coils and three-piece Neo magnets; the bass enclosure also has triple side-firing reflex ports. The cabinets will sport a "boat-tail" shape and are made from multi-laminated MDF boards up to 30mm thick.

The P-39Fs will sell starting April 2008, in matched pairs and for a price yet undisclosed. Complete tech specifications will also be available soon, prior to launch.
