The WB-14 is for those who want home theater or stereo speakers that look as good as they sound. When compared to traditional bookshelf speakers, the WB-14 is more refined and takes up less space while still delivering Klipsch’s dynamic and detailed sound. Designed to fit smaller spaces, the WB-14 bookshelf speaker is built to the same exacting standards as the larger Icon W Series floorstanding speakers. The WB-14 uses modern technology and furniture-grade beauty for music and movie performances like no other bookshelf speakers.

Klipsch WB-14 Icon W Series Furniture-Grade

Advanced Design for Phenomenal Sonic Performance

Klipsch engineers managed to generate excellent output and dispersion from these small speakers by employing an all-new proprietary technology called the XT Tractrix Horn. Horns have been the driving force behind Klipsch speakers since 1946. The XT engineering takes this time-proven philosophy to new heights by altering the surface geometry of the horn with four “bumps” that are shaped like flower petals. It’s a technology that creates a wider dispersion pattern and provides more latitude in placement.

The WB-14 4.5-inch woofer design allows for a small, attractive cabinet yet provides excellent low-frequency response and power-handling. The lightweight, triple-woven Fiberglass woofer provides robust low frequencies with great detail. Heavy-duty ceramic motor structures power these high-tech wonders and accommodate even the most aggressive power handling requirements.

The ported enclosure design, with both internal and external port flares, provides improved output and lower distortion–with better air-flow and extremely low port turbulence. Finally, the crossover networks consist of premium components manufactured to precise tolerances for a consistent sound from speaker to speaker and system to system.

Stunning High-End Cabinetry Looks Fantastic in Any Room

While the WB-14 employs modern advancements on the inside, it reflects a classic approach on the outside, featuring a timeless wood veneer cabinet finished in Cabernet or Espresso. Unlike most speaker manufacturers who opt for domestic veneers (cherry, oak or maple), Klipsch selected an exotic, non-endangered Berlinia veneer from West Africa. Berlinia is a sister veneer to Zebrawood, which is often featured on other luxury goods.

The WB-14 cabinets are carefully sanded, sealed and stained. Much like in high-end furniture manufacturing, the stain is then top coated with a polyurethane finish. This spray application involves 10 coats, with sanding between each coat to achieve the proper thickness. The cabinet is also inspected at every sanding level to ensure clarity over the stained veneer. As beautiful as the cabinets is, it is also internally braced to reduce cabinet resonance and transmission of internal vibrations outside of the cabinet box, which makes the bass tighter and midrange clearer.

The Klipsch WB-14 and the entire ICON Wood series is timelessly designed high-end furniture which happens to be loaded with numerous cutting-edge Klipsch speaker technologies and details, all delivering the signature Klipsch high-impact, low-distortion sound. No matter what material you play on them or what room you place them in, the WB-14s will always exceed expectations and look as good as they sound.
