Klipschorn AK7

The Loudspeaker That Changed High-End Audio Forever

There are few products in the history of audio as iconic as the Klipschorn. Introduced by Paul W. Klipsch in 1946 and continuously refined for more than 75 years, it remains the longest continuously produced loudspeaker in the world. The new Klipschorn AK7 represents the latest evolution of this legendary design, combining groundbreaking modern engineering with the timeless principles that established the Klipschorn as one of the most respected loudspeakers ever created.

Handcrafted in Hope, Arkansas, the Klipschorn AK7 is a fully horn-loaded, three-way loudspeaker engineered to deliver extraordinary dynamics, remarkable efficiency, and astonishing realism. Its patented folded bass horn utilizes the room's corners as an extension of the speaker itself, producing effortless, room-filling bass with exceptional speed, authority, and minimal distortion. Combined with horn-loaded midrange and high-frequency drivers, the Klipschorn reproduces music with an immediacy and scale that few loudspeakers in the world can match.

The AK7 introduces significant advancements over previous generations, including a new cinema-grade 3-inch midrange compression driver, a redesigned Tractrix® midrange horn with patented Mumps technology for improved dispersion, a new extended phase plug for greater high-frequency clarity, and updated connection options supporting both passive operation and Klipsch's optional Heritage Active DSP Crossover. Inspired by innovations developed for the flagship Jubilee, the optional active crossover provides advanced time alignment, phase optimization, and precision equalization for an even more transparent and lifelike presentation.

With sensitivity far exceeding that of conventional loudspeakers, the Klipschorn AK7 performs beautifully with everything from low-powered tube amplifiers to the world's finest solid-state electronics. Whether paired with McIntosh, Audio Research, Luxman, Naim, or other reference-quality components, the AK7 delivers effortless dynamics, expansive imaging, and a level of realism that brings every performance to life.
