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.

Creative Labs Gigaworks S750 7.1 Speaker System

Looking for the best damn computer speakers out there? Look no further! These are Creative's biggest and baddest flagship speakers to-date!

Pumping an impressive 700 Watts through 7 satellite speakers (70 Watts each) and a 210 Watt subwoofer these will not only satisfy the most avid movie watchers, but is a must for any serious gamer. Of course all this power is useless unless you can deliver it in a precise manner and this system offers an impressive frequency response range of 25Hz - 40,000Hz. Note that this is actually a wider range than offered by Klipsch ProMedia speakers, which are arguably some of the best sounding computer speakers out there (I speak from experience here since I actually own Klipsch ProMedia 4.1). For owners of 5.1 or 6.1 capable sound cards there is no need to worry since the CMSS will upmix the signal to a full 7.1 surround. This system can greatly benefit gamers and the included wireless remote will come in handy when watching movies or listening to music.

I have these speakers on my wish list and will get my hands on them as soon as the opportunity presents itself. Of course if you are on the market looking for a set of great speakers you can pick these up and start enjoying them today. Highly recommend!
