response. Each woofer’s 1.5-inch voice coil responds accurately
to the smallest signal modulation, yet can also handle the high
power of the most demanding soundtracks.
For signal purity and perfect driver integration, the P-39F’s
crossover network features the finest components. When
combined with the smooth, natural roll off of the drivers, the
network creates a fourth-order electro-acoustic filter. Found in
a damped region of the speaker’s base plate, the network also
allows the tri-wire input connectors to be hidden from view.
Featuring a “boat-tail” enclosure, the P-39F’s cabinet walls are
up to 30mm thick and feature multiple laminations of medium
density fiberboard that have been molded through a proprietary
process. Extensive internal bracing gives the speaker a more rigid
and structurally sound enclosure.
It is also important to note that every P-39F comes as a
“matching” left and right speaker pair. Meaning, not only are all
of the driver components within each particular set acoustically
matched, their cabinets also coordinate with one another by
positioning their triple ports on opposite sides and sharing the
same wood grain finish.
Having worked in conjunction with DesignworksUSA—a highly-
respected design studio that has done projects for BMW, MINI,
and Rolls Royce—Klipsch was able to make the P-39F a truly
unique and elite statement piece. A pair easily transforms your
living space into a “stylish gallery” with the richness of their real
wood veneer cabinets—available in three high-class finishes—and
overall clean appearance with no visible fasteners.
“True luxury is about the best of everything and the P-39F
certainly embodies that notion,” said Garrett. “A real object of
desire, this speaker could easily be considered the Dom Pérignon
of floorstanders.”
The P-39F floorstanders are slated to begin shipping to the
domestic and international specialty retail and contracting
markets this fall. For a complete home theater experience, six
other globally-inspired high-end models, which use the same
technology and design principles as the P-39F, will be introduced
at CES 2008 in Las Vegas.
