Klipsch Lightspeaker Preview

Bowman — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:12:00 +0000

At CES we were given a great interview and demo of the Kilspch LightSpeakers. Klipsch President Paul Jacobs and Kadence Design President Ed Hasse gave us a demo of the Klipsch Lightspeakers and the idea behind them.

Klipsch has taken the modern idea of a home audio system and simplified it with a revolutionary idea of taking the wires out and the traditional speaker box and putting them in one unit that fits in a standard light bulb socket which brings the idea of surround sound to a new level. Klipsch President Paul Jacobs says “if you can screw a light bulb in, you are 75% there in setting up our system.”

The system can fit into a standard lamp or a 5-6 inch can light spot and uses LED for lighting which lasts forever. You can hook up to 8 of these in your house as simple as that and the audio quality is fantastic. Its a ture wireless system and set not to interfere with any other wireless frequencies in your house. Check out the full video below and the full stats. The are available to order now at www.klipsch.com.
