The Klipsch Rebellion brings Heritage Series performance to a true bookshelf format. Based on Paul W. Klipsch’s rare 1958 H8 design, this premium two-way passive loudspeaker combines classic Klipsch horn-loaded efficiency with modern engineering, an 8-inch woofer, real wood veneers, and handcrafted construction in Hope, Arkansas.
Designed for serious two-channel listening or a compact Klipsch Heritage home theater system, the Rebellion delivers high output with low distortion from a cabinet that is substantially easier to place than larger Heritage models. Its 95 dB sensitivity also makes it an excellent match for a wide range of quality integrated amplifiers, receivers, and separates.
Klipsch Heritage Sound in a Bookshelf Speaker
The Rebellion uses a K-702 high-frequency driver mounted to a K-703 Tractrix horn with Klipsch Mumps technology for controlled dispersion, clarity, and efficiency. A newly developed K-81-EP 8-inch woofer handles the low frequencies, while a rear Tractrix flare port improves airflow and helps reduce port noise for cleaner bass.
