Klipsch WB-14 Icon Furniture Grade W Series Espresso

Used to retail $599. Complete your W Series Titanium collection. (Espresso) High Points • The WB-14 provides a superb level of fit and finish with convenient touches like easy mounting and high quality binding posts. This product will fit into many different decors and can impress the neighbors front-and-center in an audio or home theater system. • The WB-14 offers an attractive sonic balance, offering many of the traditional advantages of horns but dialed back a notch, along with a full midrange and tight bass. The small size still throws a big soundstage above and beyond the speakers, providing big sound in tight spaces. Introduced in June of 2008, the Klipsch Icon W series delivers the classic Klipsch sound in a more refined, sophisticated package, incorporating furniture-grade finishes and other high-end touches. Klipsch wanted to create a series of high performance, aesthetically pleasing speakers that pushed the Klipsch name into more areas of the house. The smallest offering in the Icon W line offering two floorstanding models (WF-35, WF-34), a center channel (WC-24), and a surround speaker (WS-24), the $599/pair WB-14 features a 1-inch titanium tweeter loaded with a 3.75-inch XT Tractrix Horn, and a 4.5-inch high-output, fiberglass cone woofer with a ceramic motor structure, encased within a very solid bass-reflex enclosure finished in gorgeous Espresso or Cabernet finishes. The WB-14 also provides a threaded insert for easy wall-mounting. The line provides a welcome change from the aggressively styled, mostly black, gold and silver-finished models pervading the company's product line. The WB-14's small footprint and 10 pound weight allows for easy placement on either a bookshelf or floor stand. The high quality binding posts accommodate bananas, spades, or bare wire. I also found the bass reflex port in the rear very elegant, and coupled beautifully to the connector panel within a one-piece black plastic fitting with matching flush-mounted screws....
