KLIPSCH REFERENCE PREMIERE HD WIRELESS

Even at the height of home surround sound, there was a problem so evident that it’s astounding we’ve waited well into the 21st century to get a solution. At one end of the room the equipment rack holds the sources and amplification, then long snaky cables had to run from there to each and every speaker.
