For over 60 years, our engineers have sought the ultimate: a loudspeaker that could reproduce recorded music with all the passion of a live performance. The Palladium™ Series approaches aural perfection, while making a visual statement that is every bit as elegant and passionate as the sound.

The Palladium Series P-39F floorstander represents the epitome of loudspeaker technology, with remarkable clarity throughout the dynamic range and bold styling. Today, Klipsch Group, Inc. is a global force, and this flag- ship loudspeaker reflects that leadership status; design and engineering teams from the United States collabo- rated with colleagues from Germany and China to plan and execute the Palladium project.

In designing the Palladium P-39F cabinet, we first considered the Klipsch heritage and unique approach to acoustic design. Trends in home interior and furniture were also factored in, as was the current audio market landscape.

The result is a speaker that flawlessly melds classic Klipsch® audio with the latest in home furniture trends. The striking “boat-tail” design hints at the power and performance in- side, while maintaining a high degree of sophistication and beauty. More importantly, the arched shape of the P-39F flagship loudspeaker actually contributes to its remarkable sound by breaking up standing waves at higher frequencies.

Power. Detail. Emotion. Combined, these qualities are the embodiment of our core philosophy. And all are expressed—beautifully—in the brilliant Palladium P-39F loudspeaker. We invite you, our customer, to share with us the pride of ownership in this extraordinary product for many gratifying years.
