Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 Premium Loudspeaker
The Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 Premium Loudspeaker and where it all began…
For over 75 years, the Klipschorn has defined high-efficiency home audio. The first Klipsch speaker ever produced, and in continuous production longer than any other, the Klipschorn is the manifestation of Paul W. Klipsch’s approach to sound, designed to bring the power, detail, and emotion of live music out of the club and into the living room.

Features
- THREE-WAY, HORN-LOADED EFFICIENCY – The Klipschorn’s three-way, horn-loaded system makes it leagues more efficient than the average loudspeaker. For the AK7, we couple each driver to a precisely measured horn and optimize it for one of three pass-bands. This design generates greater acoustic power with less wattage, producing crystal clear sound with minimal distortion across the frequency spectrum.
- EXTENDED PHASE PLUG FOR HEAVENLY HIGHS – We’ve paired our K-771 compression driver with a new, patented, extended phase plug to prevent cancellations and equalize wavelengths for cleaner dispersion. That means you get more coverage and clarity than ever before.
- 3″ COMPRESSION DRIVER PUMPS UP THE POWER – Our new, cinema grade, mid-range K1133 compression driver adds a full inch to the drivers on previous AK6 models. Hand-built in Hope, Arkansas, the larger compression area increases sound pressure to the horn’s throat for more voluptuous volume.
- SPREAD THE SOUNDSTAGE WITH TRACTRIX AND MUMPS – The AK7 gets the Tractrix® treatment. The new K-406M patented Tractrix mid-range horn features a shorter, 2″ throat for unparalleled presence and precision. Mumps technology improves coverage, adding small contours to help maintain frequency response to the horn’s edge.
- BRING OUT THE BASS – The Klipschorn’s fully enclosed low-frequency horn, paired with the powerful K-33-E 15″ woofer, delivers deep, rich bass with remarkable clarity and impact. Its innovative folded horn design increases bass extension and efficiency.
Even better balance
The AK7 is available with an optional Heritage Active Crossover tuned specifically for Klipschorn speakers. Trickle-down technology from the heralded Klipsch Jubilee floorstanding speakers, the Heritage Active DSP aligns time and phase while boosting frequencies and balancing EQ for a flat, color-free response.
Add the Heritage Active Crossover to unlock your loudspeakers’ full capability. The new Active Crossover uses trickle-down technology—the Heritage Active DSP, optional with Klipschorn® AK7 and La Scala® AL6 loudspeakers, is the same active DSP they offer with the Klipsch Jubilee floorstanding loudspeakers.
The difference is the firmware, which Klipsch designed specifically to embrace and enhance the sound of Klipschorns and La Scalas.
Active & passive setups
To accommodate the Heritage Active Crossover and give listeners more options, they’ve modified the I/O panel.
It now includes passive and active inputs and a passive output, so customizing your setup is easy. Klipsch have also moved the panel to the speaker’s back for a cleaner look from almost any angle.
Book matched in 3 finishes
Each Heritage Series speaker features a natural wood, book-matched veneer in one of three finishes: American Walnut, American Auburn, and Black Ash.
In for the long haul
Because Klipsch Heritage speakers are built to last, they offer a 10-year warranty on all current and future generation Heritage Classic speakers.
Power. Detail. Emotion.
PWK’s dream lives on in every legendary Heritage loudspeaker Klipsch make. Built to last a lifetime, each high-performance, handsomely crafted speaker will bring joy to your home for decades to come.
