Klipsch Icon XF-48 Floorstanding Loud Speakers

Winner CES Innovations 2008 Award

Klipsch Icon XF-48 Floorstanding Loud Speakers

Klipsch's Overview
Unrivaled beauty, quality and performance define the award-winning Icon X Series XF-48. A perfect complement to flat-panel displays, this exquisite floorstanding speaker flawlessly brings stunning audio to a stunning image.
Fully active design with built-in amplification*
Patent-pending XT Tractrix® Horn technology
Titanium tweeter for precise highs
Dual high-output woofers for amazing lows
Dual passive radiators for even more bass
Sleek, slender enclosure exudes sophistication
When designing the XF-48 floorstander, our engineers refused to hold back. The speaker intelligently employs dual high-output fiberglass cone woofers with powerful neodymium motor structures and two passive radiators to unleash the kind of bass you hear and feel.

*Plus, the XF-48 is a fully active design with built-in amplification, meaning you don’t need an A/V receiver to power it. You can plug these speakers directly into your TV, as long as your set has the right audio out jacks. With the appropriate cables, you can even plug an iPod directly into these floorstanders and make your play lists larger than life.

But what makes this flat-panel speaker remarkably superior is an all-new, patent-pending Tractrix® Horn-loaded tweeter with XT technology. For over 60 years, horns have been the driving force behind our stunningly precise sound, and this latest design moves us farther ahead by allowing the slender XF-48 to deliver an extremely smooth response with constant directivity.

You’ll discover the XF-48’s performance has but one rival: style. Its beautifully crafted aluminum extruded enclosure, featuring an anodized black-grain finish and high-gloss black accents, is the direct result of our engineers’ quest for perfect balance.

The entire Icon X Series is performance art at its best, capturing the spirit of our past and pushing us into the future. It is a brilliant representation of how our products have evolved and remained desirable over time. After just one listen, the Icon sound will be imprinted in your consciousness forever.

Kindle 2

Expert Reviews: See What The Experts Have to Say About Kindle
"It's hard not to love Amazon's new e-book reader. For starters, it's gorgeous. Unlike its bulky predecessor, the redesigned $359 Kindle, which came out this week, is light, thin, and disappears in your hands. If you think there's no way you could ever get used to curling up with an electronic reader, you haven't given the Kindle a chance. Load up a good book and you'll soon forget you're reading plastic rather than paper. You'll also wonder how you ever did without it. The Kindle makes buying, storing, and organizing your favorite books and magazines effortless. You can take your entire library with you wherever you go and switch from reading the latest New Yorker to the latest best-seller without rolling out of bed. In my few days using it, I was won over: The Kindleis the future of publishing."
- Farhad Manjoo, Slate

"The best e-reading system on the market. Welcome improvements to aesthetics, more functional industrial design, better graphics and longer battery life. Sleeker than the original: A third of an inch thick and 10 ounces."
- Steven Levy, Wired

"Bottom line: The Kindle is easier to use and more versatile, thanks to its wireless coverage."
- Consumer Reports

"Overall, this is a great platform for reading a novel or anything where you just want to be able to pick it up and put it back down at a moment's notice -- the wireless delivery of books you order on Amazon's website is still just about perfect."
- Christopher Null, Yahoo! Tech

"It reads very easily without any eyestrain whatsoever; I felt like I was reading a book whereas reading on an iPhone or a computer is just a gimmick. The Kindle is indeed a genuine alternative to a print edition and not just a toy."
- Michael Glitz, Huffington Post

"With a slimmer, sleeker design, a crisper display and 25 percent longer battery life, the Kindle 2 is fast becoming a must-have for avid readers who don’t want to schlep a ton of books."
- Star Magazine
