Klipsch WF-35

The Klipsch WF-35 is a high-performance floorstanding loudspeaker in the Icon W series, which falls in the middle of those offered by Kilpsch.  The most notable feature of these speakers is the 4.5" diameter Tractrix horn, which is attached to a 1" titanium diaphragm compression driver.  This technology equalizes the sound wave speed and smoothes the dispersion pattern coming from the speaker.  Below the horn is a set of triple 5.25" high output fiberglass cone woofers that are driven by powerful ceramic motor structures.  Dual rear firing ports increase the bass response and reduce turbulant noise.  The MDF enclosure has a furniture-grade wood veneer available in cabernet and espresso. The Klipsch WF-35 is sold individually, and is also sold as the L/R speakers in the Klipsch WF-35 home theater system.
