Just to be clear , New models will be available passive and the active crossover as an upgrade and it require multi channel amp surprise

Found an old video about the Tractrix technology from Klipsch but in the comments down in that video , there was a concerning post says that Tractrix horn sound like regular speakers , i hope Klipsch didn’t ruin there flagship speaker sad

The Klipschorn uses an exponential horn. Tractrix "De-Balls" the horn sound making the horn speaker sound more like a conventional speaker. People who like more of an "in your face" horn sound prefer exponential horns and people who prefer more of a "wave guide" type horn like tractrix. I have owned countless Klipsch speaker lines over the years both professional Klipsch speakers, Reference lines, Heritage lines including LaScalla, Klipschorns and I prefer exponential. If you like a horn to sound like a horn then exponential does the job best and if you prefer a more conventional sound you may as well get away from horns altogether and go with a Kef speaker in my opinion.
