The Palladium™ Series P-17B raises the bar
for bookshelf speakers, with full, rich sound
that belies its smaller size and a striking visual
design that could easily be considered a work
of art.
The P-17B’s carbon-infused, thermoset
composite dual-horn configuration is unique
to the Palladium family. It consists of a propri-
etary tweeter design, combining a chambered
phase plug and Tractrix
®
Horn for extended
high-frequency response; a second 90º by 60º
acoustically damped Tractrix Horn is coupled
to the midrange driver, resulting in precise
performances.
The low-frequency driver employs a 7" hybrid
cone woofer, powered by a unique neodymi-
um magnet structure. A single port on the rear
of the speaker enhances low-distortion bass
response. The woofer’s voice coil responds
accurately to the smallest signal modulation,
yet can also handle the high power of the most
demanding soundtracks.
Designed with an eye toward home interior
and furniture designs, the P-17B has a signa-
ture style that blends classic Klipsch audio
and a clean, contemporary look. Its unique
enclosure hints at the power inside, while
maintaining a high degree of beauty. Next to
its shape, the most striking visual statement is
the zebra-grain Linia veneer available in
natural, merlot or espresso. The horizontal
linear grain and absence of visible fasteners
further add to its appeal.
