Klipsch Icon Series XL-23 User Manual

Engineered for pure, dynamic listening,
the XL-23 utilizes a premium titanium
diaphragm compression driver and dual
high-output fiberglass cone woofers.
But what puts this flat-panel speaker
above the rest is an all-new patent-pend-
ing Tractrix
®
horn-loaded tweeter with
XT™ technology. For over 60 years, horns
have been the driving force behind our
stunningly precise sound, and this latest
design moves us farther ahead by allowing
the slender XL-23 to deliver an extremely
smooth response with constant directivity.
Offering more than just a signature sound,
the XL-23 also has a signature style. Its
beautifully crafted aluminum extruded
enclosure, featuring an anodized black-
grain finish and high-gloss black accents,
is the direct result of our engineers’ quest
for perfect balance. In fact, it’s a look that
brings a splash of sophistication to any
room.
For increased placement flexibility, the
XL-23 can be paired with the company’s
optional XFS floor stand.
The entire ICON Series is performance
art at its best, capturing the spirit of our
past and pushing us into the future. It is a
brilliant representation of how our prod-
ucts have evolved and remained desirable
over time. After just one listen, the ICON
sound will be imprinted in your conscious-
ness forever.
