Energy Turns Over Veritas Flagship Line

By Joseph Palenchar -- TWICE, 9/20/2010

Atlanta - Klipsch's Energy brand will go to the CEDIA Expo with a revamped flagship line of Energy Veritas in-room speakers, an eight-SKU selection priced up to $3,000/pair.

 Like before, the models are designed to deliver flat on-axis frequency response with minimal levels of distortion and resonance, but the new models deliver an "even higher level of audiophile performance," said Klipsch Group product development VP Marak Casavant. The speakers mark "the first time Klipsch Group engineers have collaborated on an Energy flagship product line," he noted.

 The new lineup of Energy Veritas speakers consist of two floor-standing towers at $2,200 and $3,000/pair, two bookshelf models at $450 and $800/pair, two center channels at $275 and $800 each, surround speakers at $1,000/pair, and a $1,000 subwoofer.

 The new models features more advanced crossover networks, improved woofers, new voicing and wood cabinetry.

All but the subwoofer feature one-inch pure aluminum tweeters to ensure clear, accurate highs for the most detailed listening experience. Tweeters and mid-woofers in close proximity to deliver coherent, seamless dispersion, the company said.  Woofers feature ribbed elliptical surrounds for tight, distortion-free low-end response.

 The series is shipping in high-gloss piano black and piano rosenut finish.
