Klipsch Rebellion Premium Bookshelf Loudspeaker

Compact Heritage Series bookshelf speaker inspired by Paul W. Klipsch’s rare 1958 H8 design

SOLD AS A STEREO PAIR ONLY.

As Klipsch celebrates 80 legendary years, the Rebellion brings a rare piece of company history back to life. This new Heritage Series bookshelf loudspeaker traces its roots to the original H8, a 1958 Paul W. Klipsch design of which only 16 were made.

The Rebellion combines a high-efficiency two-way design with modern Heritage Series engineering to deliver immersive, low-distortion sound from a compact bookshelf speaker. Hand-built in Hope, Arkansas, it uses a K-702 compression driver paired with a K-703 Tractrix horn with patented Mumps technology for exceptionally clear, detailed highs.

A new K-81-EP woofer provides deep, dynamic bass, while a rear-firing Tractrix flared port improves airflow and reduces port noise for more refined low-frequency performance. Like all Heritage speakers, each pair is crafted using grain-matched wood veneers sourced from the same timber. Finishes include American Walnut, Black Ash, and a limited-edition Tigerwood finish celebrating Klipsch’s 80th anniversary.
