Introduction
The Klipsch Icon W system here is based on the compact Icon WB-14 satellites and the Icon WC-24 center speaker. These 2-way speakers have newly designed horn tweeters and woven fiberglass woofers.
I opted to review this system with the larger (10") matching XW-500d subwoofer. This 500-watt powered sub has some unique design characteristics which I will describe on the next page. The whole 5.1 system is available at an affordable MSRP of $2,696.
