Klipsch adds six models to its Palladium speaker lineup

As much as you may love the looks (and sound) of Klipsch's flagship Palladium P-39F speakers, the $20,000 price tag on a pair of these beauties puts them safely out of reach for most people. But Klipsch is hoping to give a few more people a taste of the high life with the introduction of six new models in the Palladium line. For your main channels, you can pick between the P-38F and P-37F floorstanding or the P-17B bookshelf speakers. Round out your system with the P-27S surrounds, P-27C center channel and a P-312W subwoofer and you'll find yourself surrounded by good-looking, sculpted "Linia" zebra-grain forms. These new models aren't $20,000 expensive, but they're not cheap either: $12,000 and $8,000 for the P-38F and P-37F, respectively; the P-17B bookshelf will lighten your wallet to the tune of $4,000. For a whole system, factor in $3,500 for a P-27C, $4,000 for the P-27S, and another $4,000 for the P-312W. More pics after the jump.

*Awaits the Klipsch haters*

Klipsch has no dealer network to support their hi-end loudspeakers. Does anyone expect Magnolia @ Bestbuy to sell $8000 loudspeakers? I can't imagine any established hi-end dealers taking on the klipsch line even if klipsch gives them free demo units. Furthermore, why would any dealer in their right mind promote a non-protected brand like Klipsch over a protected brand such as B&W, Thiel, Wilson, Dali, etc. Love them or hate them, you can't buy them if no one sells them. Pioneer, Yamaha, Sony, and Monster Cable, all produce Hi-end loudspeakers. Try finding a dealer for them.

forget these overpriced speakers.
go to http://axiomaudio.com/epicmaster175.html and pick up an entire amazing surround sound system for about $1500.

I don't work for them. Go to the forums and see how loyal their customers are.

Klipsch are very good speakers, but when it comes to value and sound quality, I'll place my money on the Paradigm Studio series.
