Product Description

Product Description

Delivering detailed and lifelike performances, the Reference Series RS-42 brings a new dimension of reality and convenience to the world of surround sound. Offering superior technology and elegant design at an enticing price, this surround speaker lets you experience the full impact of high-performance special effects.Exclusive Tractrix Horns have always been the key component of the Reference Series. In the RS-42, this technology has been refined to include improved throat geometry for a more genuine, lifelike sound. Behind the speaker's dual horns lie 1-inch titanium tweeters with powerful neodymium magnet motor structures to provide a unique combination of precision, clarity and effortless dynamics.The RS-42 employs dual 4-inch woofers for a solid bass foundation. These Cerametallic woofers with inverted copper dust caps exhibit a very high stiffness-to-mass ratio and superb damping characteristics.Klipsch Wide Dispersion Surround Technology (WDST) provides crystal-clear sonic detail even in listening areas with less than ideal configurations. The Tractrix Horns deliver a 90-degree wide by 60-degree high dispersion pattern. By aligning two horns at 90-degrees with respect to each other, WDST smoothly covers a 180-degree horizontal arc. In other words, the surround sound is pointed at you no matter where you are seated.While increased baffle ribbing around the horn mouth dramatically improves acoustics across the sonic range, the crossover utilizes Klipsch custom internal wiring and the finest components to provide signal purity and perfect driver integration.The RS-42 also features side-firing ports to eliminate turbulence noise and back-panel keyholes and ?" threaded inserts to simplify installation. A low-diffraction, magnetically attached grille further accentuates the elegance of this speaker.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent surround sound speakers, August 28, 2009
By Andrew Philip (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews
These are great speakers. The Klipsch Reference series are not like the Klipsch Synergy series. The Synergy line is made for stores like Best Buy and Amazon. The reference series are mid to high end home entertainment speakers that you have to get through an authorized dealer.

They are very well made with great components. These bipole speakers are wired in phase so both speakers output sound simultaneously. The back of the speakers have a hole to mount them on the wall. I am using two of these as my rear surround channel. The audio reproduction is better then any speaker I have ever owned. The speakers are very efficient and require little volume to get full sound. The clarity of music and movies is almost like you are in the room with the musicians/actors. I put in the Nirvana Unplugged in New York DVD and was saying to myself, wow, Kurt's vocals and acoustic guitar is so clear. I couldn't believe it. Then it gets better, one of the women on the set cuts through everything with an upright bass. The vocals, acoustic guitar, bass and drums still clear as day and the upright bass just shines through everything. The speakers just disappear into the wall and you feel like you are in the audience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surround Power, May 1, 2009
By Jim F (Camarillo, CA) - See all my reviews
These speakers put out. Big money, big surround sound. Use on the sides, would be a waste in the back.
