As the intermediate ﬂoorstander in our high-end luxury Palladium™ Series, the P-38F features the ﬂagship P-39F’s technology and gallery-like appearance in a slightly smaller, but equally stunning package.

The P-38F’s carbon-infused, thermoset composite dual-horn conﬁguration is unique to the Palladium family. It consists of a proprietary tweeter design, combining a chambered phase plug and Tractrix high-frequency response; a second 90º by 60º acoustically damped Tractrix Horn is coupled to the midrange driver, resulting in precise performances.

The three low-frequency drivers employ 8" hybrid cone woofers, powered by a threepart neodymium magnet structure with dual stabilizing rings. Four ports on the rear of the speaker enhance low-distortion bass response. Each woofer’s voice coil responds accurately to the smallest signal modulation, yet can also handle the high power of the most demanding soundtracks.

Designed with an eye toward home interior and furniture designs, the P-38F has a signature style that blends classic Klipsch audio and a clean, contemporary look. Its unique enclosure hints at the power inside, while maintaining a high degree of beauty. Next to its shape, the most striking visual statement is the zebra-grain Linia veneer available in natural, merlot or espresso. The horizontal linear grain and absence of visible fasteners further add to its appeal.
