Review: Klipsch R-26FA 5.1 Home Theater Pack, Brushed Black Polymer Veneer
Built with an elevation channel integrated into the top, the R-26FA Dolby Atmos floorstanding speaker not only delivers stereo sound towards the listener, but also reflects sound off the ceiling to deliver the immersive, overhead Dolby Atmos experience. Klipsch signature controlled directivity and high-performance have been an integral part of Klipsch acoustic design principals for the better part of a century – which is why Klipsch is the preferred speaker for this cutting-edge soundstage.
Horn-loaded Clarity – 90 x 90 Tractrix Horn
Our exclusive Tractrix Horn technology and aluminum tweeters deliver the most impressive high-end response and greater extension, enhanced imaging, and powerful dynamics. This creates the cleanest, most natural sound possible. The 90 x 90 Tractrix Horn ensures controlled directivity, minimizing unwanted reflections and maximizing efficiency.
Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) Tweeter
A Linear Travel Suspension minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performance. LTS Tweeters have been a hallmark of previous Reference lines, as well as our flagship Klipsch Palladium series, making it a core component of some of the best speakers in the world. The LTS Tweeter ensures accurate reproduction of high-frequency details, providing a lifelike listening experience.
