The Reference Series has captured all the thrills and intensity of a floorstanding loudspeaker in a new, attractive bookshelf model. The RB-25 may be compact, but it packs a dynamite sound that advances the Reference legacy of power, detail and emotion. This bookshelf model is one of the highest performing and most affordable loudspeakers Klipsch has ever introduced. The RB-25 delivers vibrant sound through its 6.5-inch woofer and 1-inch titanium-dome tweeter that features a high-energy, video-shielded Neodymium magnet. The tweeter is coupled to an exclusive Klipsch square Tractrix® Horn. This advanced horn increases sensitivity while minimizing the room interactions that blur the sonic detail and imaging of conventional speakers.
The woofer on the RB-25 is a refined version of Klipsch’s elegant, copper-colored Cerametallic™ material that is stronger than ever. This cone is made of an anodized aluminum that makes it tough but does not take away from its beauty. The anodizing process converts its inner and outer surface to ceramic. The result is a rigid cone with outstanding damping characteristics that will not flex or resonate at frequencies within the woofer’s operating range. Driving this cone is a large, video-shielded magnet and high-temperature, long-excursion voice coil, for high efficiency and deep, powerful, articulate bass without breakup or distortion.
The RB-25 takes the hassle out of installation. It has a front-mounted, flared port to facilitate placement in a cabinet or against a wall. The RB-25 also has both a back-panel keyhole for flush mounting to a wall and a threaded insert for attachment to popular adjustable wall and ceiling brackets.
The RB-25 reproduces truly lifelike sound due to a crossover network that uses extremely high-end components, including Monster Cable® Bandwidth Balanced™ wiring, polyester film-type capacitors and an air-core inductor. These parts are mounted on a high-quality fiberglass epoxy circuit board.
This gripping performer makes a statement in its black or light cherry wood grain vinyl finish. The RB-25 also has a stylish sculpted low-diffraction baffle with integrated horn design. The loudspeaker’s easy-on and easy-off grille attaches with magnetic posts making it easy to handle.
Great things come in small packages and the RB-25 is no exception. It creates life-size sound, fits practically anywhere and best of all, it’s affordable.
