Klipsch Reference Signature Series

Klipsch Reference Signature Series · Chronopin

Klipsch's Reference Signature Series is a new flagship three-way loudspeaker range shown at CEDIA Expo 2026 in Denver, after being previewed as concepts at CES 2026 in January^[2][3]
The launch is dated only as a season: ecoustics says select models arrive "this winter" and CEPRO says the global launch is "in the winter", with final pricing and complete specifications to be announced at launch in Winter 2026^[2][3]
CEDIA access was restricted to invite-only First Listen demos, and Klipsch's Director of Product Management Andy Spalla framed the range around the company's 80th year^[2][3]
Klipsch's own home page does not name the range: it promotes Reference Premiere, the Rebellion bookshelf loudspeaker, the Odyssey limited edition and the next-generation Nines, Sevens and Fives, and only teases "THE FUTURE SOUNDS BIG" as a first look at "what's next from Klipsch with our latest announcements from CEDIA"; it also dates the company two ways, "Since 1946" in the page title and "80 Years in the Making" in the copy^[1]

Both reports count six models, not seven: the RS-8301F and RS-6301F floorstanders, RS-8301M and RS-6301M monitors, the RS-6301C centre and the RS-6101SA two-way Dolby Atmos height/surround speaker^[2][3]
The change from Reference Premiere is a dedicated midrange driver in a new phase-aligned horn that places the midrange inside the tweeter horn, while keeping the titanium-diaphragm Linear Travel Suspension tweeter^[2][3]
The 8-inch models pair 8-inch bass drivers with a 6.5-inch midrange and the smaller models 6.5-inch bass with a 5.25-inch midrange; floorstanders use dual woofers and monitors one, and the cones are spun-copper Cerametallic^[2][3]
The RS-6301C centre uses a vertical driver array rather than a horizontal MTM layout to reduce horizontal lobing and comb filtering, and the RS-6101SA can sit atop a tower firing upward or be wall-mounted, with a rear switch selecting the Atmos or Surround crossover^[2]
Cabinets share a one-piece BMC front baffle, with curved edges, Ebony and Walnut finishes and a leather top panel^[2][3]
