Klipsch Rebellion 8" 2-Way Heritage Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)

The Klipsch Rebellion brings the high-efficiency, horn-loaded character of the Heritage Series to a compact bookshelf loudspeaker. Its origins trace back to Paul W. Klipsch's H8 design from 1958, originally conceived as a compact loudspeaker for use between a pair of Klipschorns. Reimagined for modern listening, the Rebellion combines a K-702 compression driver and K-703 Tractrix horn with an 8" K-81-EP woofer in a rear-ported bass-reflex enclosure.

With 95 dB sensitivity, the Rebellion produces dynamic output with relatively modest amplifier power. Klipsch Mumps technology helps optimize horn dispersion, while the rear-firing Tractrix port is designed to improve airflow and reduce turbulence. Each cabinet is constructed from 18 mm plywood, finished in real wood veneer and hand assembled in Hope, Arkansas.
