Klipsch has announced a new, upscale line of flagship loudspeakers.

The Palladium line of speakers will begin shipping this fall. The top of the line P-39F tower will have three nine inch aluminum woofers, mated to horn midrange and tweeters. Enclosures are veneer clad mdf with tapered, curved side panels. Suggested price for the 3 1/2 way P-39F will be $15000/pair.

Six additional loudspeakers in the Palladium series will be shown at CES 2008 at Las Vegas.

PSB Speakers have announced a new flagship to head it's speaker lineup.

The Synchrony line will consist of two full range tower models, two bookshelf models, two center channels and a tri-mode surround model. The line will feature enclosures made of a combination of aluminum and wood laminate. Sporting curved, veneered side panels along with aluminum corners and rear panels, PSB states the new enclosure design may possibly be the industry's strongest, deadest and most non-resonant. The tweeter used by the Synchrony line is an extended response titanium dome. The mid and bass drivers are constructed of a new sandwich material composed of woven fiberglass and natural pulp. Speakers in the Synchrony line will be available in Dark Cherry and Black Ash veneers. Suggested retail starts at $1300 for the 2 way center channel up to $4500/pair for the largest tower, the Synchrony One.

Danish loudspeaker maker Dynaudio is celebrating their 30th anniversary with a special edition loudspeaker, the Dynaudio Sapphire.

The Sapphire was unveiled this weekend at the 2007 Hong Kong High End Audio Visual Show.

The Sapphire will be available sometime this Fall.

Further details on the Sapphire are to be revealed September 1, according to Dynaudio.

Usher Audio has introduced a bookshelf loudspeaker to their Dancer series.

It's a small two way design utilizing their top of the line Beryllium tweeter and a 7" mid-woofer handles the low end. Available in piano black or silver, both with attractive birch side panels. A suggested price has not yet been set, although they have said they will sell for about $2500.00 a pair. Usher Audio, located in Taiwan, makes a range of loudspeakers, from reasonably priced up to high end audiophile. They produce nearly all the parts that go into their loudspeakers, and combined with having their production in a Taiwan-based facility, they generally sell for a fraction of what their western-produced equivalents cost.
