The speaker is arriving to coincide with the brand's [80th anniversary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beolab-90-phantom) and incorporates 1940s design elements, but sees it engineered with the technology of today. The two-way loudspeaker features a horn-loaded K-81-EP tweeter in combination with a K-702 woofer, which achieve clear highs and rich lows. The speaker is constructed with grain-matched wood veneer panels with the brand's standard finishes on offer including American Walnut, Black Ash, American Auburn and Red Oak. The Klipsch Rebellion Bookshelf Speaker is priced at $2,599 per pair and is slated to arrive in North America this July.
