A TRUE WORK OF ART

Dramatic styling was born from our partnership with BMW Group DesignworksUSA. With an eye toward home interior and furniture designs, this pairing created a signature look that blends classic Klipsch audio and a clean, contemporary appearance.

The floorstander’s “boat-tail” enclosure hints at the power and performance inside, while maintaining a high degree of sophistication and beauty. Next to its unique shape, the most striking visual statement is the exotic zebra-grain Linia veneer that’s available in three different finishes: natural, merlot and espresso. The horizontal linear grain and absence of visible fasteners allows Palladium series speakers to elegantly complement your furniture and décor. 

A LEGACY REBORN

Unique to the Palladium Series is a carbon-infused, thermoset composite dual-horn configuration. It consists of a proprietary tweeter design, combining a chambered phase plug and Tractrix® Horn for extended high-frequency response; a second 90º by 60º acoustically dampened Tractrix Horn is coupled to the midrange driver, resulting in remarkably precise and detailed performances.

HANDMADE SUPREME PERFORMANCE

Three low-frequency drivers employ hybrid cone woofers, powered by a unique three-part neodymium magnet structure with dual stabilizing rings that reduce nonlinear flux. Triple ports further enhance low-distortion bass response. Each woofer’s voice coil responds accurately to the smallest signal modulation, yet can also handle the high power of the most demanding soundtracks.

THE GREAT AMERICAN SPEAKER COMPANY

Our founder, Paul W. Klipsch, was an engineer, inventor, madman and certified genius. He spent his life trying to bring the world better sound. Since 1946, we have carried on our founder's passion for delivering the best home audio experience possible. 

You're not buying a speaker - you're buying a piece of American audio history built on more than 70 years of badass acoustic technology.

 

ELEGANTLY BALANCES PERFORMANCE AND LIFESTYLE

REMARKABLY PRECISE AND DETAILED REPRODUCTION OF SOUND

SUPERIOR, LOW-DISTORTION BASS RESPONSE

GALLERY-LIKE APPEARANCE FITS BEAUTIFULLY INTO ANY DÉCOR

As the intermediate floorstander in our high-end luxury Palladium® Series, the P-38F features the flagship P-39F’s technology and gallery-like appearance in a slightly smaller, but equally stunning package.

The P-38F’s carbon-infused, thermoset composite dual-horn configuration is unique to the Palladium family. It consists of a proprietary tweeter design, combining a chambered phase plug and Tractrix® Horn for extended high-frequency response; a second 90º by 60º acoustically damped Tractrix Horn is coupled to the midrange driver, resulting in precise performances.

The three low-frequency drivers employ 8” hybrid cone woofers, powered by a three-part neodymium magnet structure with dual stabilizing rings. Four ports on the rear of the speaker enhance low-distortion bass response. Each woofer’s voice coil responds accurately to the smallest signal modulation, yet can also handle the high power of the most demanding soundtracks.

Designed with an eye toward home interior and furniture designs, the P-38F has a signature style that blends classic Klipsch audio and a clean, contemporary look. Its unique enclosure hints at the power inside, while maintaining a high degree of beauty. Next to its shape, the most striking visual statement is the zebra-grain Linia veneer available in natural, merlot or espresso. The horizontal linear grain and absence of visible fasteners further add to its appeal.
