Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Featuring the same technology and materials found in Klipsch Reference III speakers, the RB-10 bookshelf speaker offers a smaller enclosure and more affordable price tag. The smallest bookshelf loudspeaker Klipsch has ever made, the RB-10 employs a 4-inch woofer and a 1-inch titanium-dome compression driver loaded with a 4-inch square Tractrix Horn for maximum clarity and efficiency. The speaker measures 8.7 x 5.6 x 7.8 inches (HxWxD) and weighs a svelte 6 pounds.

The woofer's copper-colored Cerametallic rigid cone dampens the woofer, preventing it from flexing or resonating at frequencies within the woofer's operating range. All drivers are magnetically shielded to prevent interference with direct-view television sets. The RB-10 features a low-diffraction sculpted baffle and magnetically attached grille for an elegant fit and finish. It has both a back-panel keyhole for on-wall mounting and a threaded insert for attachment to popular adjustable wall and ceiling brackets.

Product Description

The Reference Series RB-10 bookshelf loudspeaker is part of Klipsch's new entry-level Reference 10 family that offers the same advanced technology and world-class materials as the Reference III models but from smaller enclosures and at lower price points. As the smallest bookshelf loudspeaker Klipsch has ever made, the RB-10 employs a 4-inch woofer and a 1-inch titanium-dome compression driver loaded with a 4-inch square Tractrix Horn for maximum clarity and efficiency. The woofer on the RB-10 still features Klipsch's distinctive, copper-colored Cerametallic material. Made with an anodized aluminum, this cone is strong and dent resistant. The anodizing process converts its inner and out surface to ceramic. The outcome is a rigid cone with superb damping characteristics that will not flex or resonate at frequencies within the woofer's operating range. As in all Reference Series speakers, the RB-10 crossover network is constructed using extremely high-quality components including top-of-the-line internal wiring, polyester film-type capacitors and an air-core inductor to ensure signal purity and proper driver integration. Available in a black vinyl finish, the RB-10 features a low-diffraction sculpted baffle and magnetically attached grille for an elegant fit and finish This bookshelf model may be small, but it carries a huge dynamic presence that is sure to blow audiences away.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bookshelf speakers, August 28, 2009

By

This review is from: Klipsch RB-10 4-Inch Two-Way Bookshelf Loudspeaker (pair) (Electronics)

These are great bookshelf speakers. The speakers are very well made. The removable grill is on the speaker with magnets and is very easy to remove. The audio reproduction is very clear and better then any bookshelf speaker I have owned. The speakers are very efficient and require little volume to get full sound. Each one comes with four rubber feet to put under the speaker. The Klipsch Reference series is not like the Klipsch Synergy series. The reference series are mid to high end home entertainment speakers that you have to get through an authorized dealer.

This review is from: Klipsch RB-10 4-Inch Two-Way Bookshelf Loudspeaker (pair) (Electronics)

I was looking for a compact speaker system to pair with a TV in a small room. I had an old stereo receiver sitting around so I decided to look around for two bookshelf speakers that met my size and sound needs.

After demoing, and disliking, a handful of speakers I came across these at a local electronics store. The first thing I noticed is how big they sounded compared to everything else I had tried. They are a little bit bigger and 'boxier' than I had wanted, but they were the smallest thing I could find that sounded full without a subwoofer behind them. I snatched them up, set them up, and have enjoyed them greatly at home.

Pros:
-Very efficient (doesn't take a lot of power to drive them)
-Sound like bigger speakers than they are
-Small enough to be mounted
-They're very reasonably priced

-Magnetic speaker grills, come with 'rubber feet' if you're not mounting them, have mounting holes pre-drilled.

Cons:
-A bit heavy on the bass end without equalization

These small bookshelf speaker perform excellently as front surround speakers with our 52" flat panel HDTV in a medium size room. Would have preferred them in white color to blend into the bookshelf, but their small size make them unobtrusive. Quality, solid performing product.
