Product Description

An excellent audio choice for flat-panel displays in smaller rooms, the Icon X Series XB-10 bookshelf speaker flawlessly blends exquisite beauty and intelligent engineering for dynamic music and movie performances like no other. Designed to deliver massive audio performances, the sleek and compact XB-10 employs a premium titanium diaphragm compression driver and high-output fiberglass cone woofer to make it happen. But what makes this flat-panel speaker far superior is a Tractrix Horn-loaded tweeter with XT technology. This horn design allows the slender XB-10 to deliver an extremely smooth response with constant directivity. The XB-10's beautifully crafted aluminum extrusion enclosure features an eye-catching black-grain anodized finish and high-gloss black accents. In fact, it's a look that brings a splash of sophistication to any room. After just one listen, the icon sound will be imprinted in your consciousness forever. 92dB Sensitivity at 2.83V 1m 8-Ohms Nominal Impedance 2650Hz High Frequency Crossover 0.75 (1.9cm) titanium diaphragm compression driver mated to 80-degrees x 80-degrees round XT Tractrix Horn high frequency drivers 4 (10.2cm) high-output, fiberglass cone woofer low frequency drivers Aluminum enclosure material Bass-reflex via front-firing port enclosure Dimensions - Height 10.8 x Width 5.75 x Depth 6 (27.3x14.6x15.2cm) Weight - 6.5 pounds (2.9kg)

I, that is my wife, purchased an expensive new custom built corner stand for our LCD TV. The tower Klipsch speakers I had were great but much too big for the new stand. I did some research and purchased the XB-10s primarily because of their size but also because of Klipsch's reputation and the balance of my system is Klipsch. So far I am impressed with the speakers as the front surround speakers. Several friends and relatives have commented on the sound quality and how great they look. The best I can say is I achieved the balance I was looking for - size and performance. Note that you should use a sub woofer with these speakers for best results.

These speakers are absolutely amazing!You will not be disappointed. They are an absolute steal packing great features, looks and value. I'm a huge fan of the finish on these speakers and the build quality feels great. I'm currently using them as surrounds to compliment my Icon set up and WOW. I used transformers 2 on Blu-ray to test them out and came out shining like real winners. These speakers truly made justice to the HD soundtrack found on the disc, producing amazing sound. The amount of detail and clarity that they were able to produce was simply unbelievable. During the big battles scenes between the robots, you are able to hear every smashing and exploding metal as if they were happening right in your living room. The immersion they were able to create was simply top notch. I couldn't be any happier with this purchase. So glad I went with these speakers. They are an absolute steal. They not only sound great, but Klipsch managed to make these speakers look great.

I have this series of Icon speakers in the five speaker set-up. There is a matching center speaker which was not offered on Amazon.com. Bestbuy[..]has the center speaker. The center speaker is sold as a single boxed speaker. Enjoy.
