KLIPSCH + OJAS KO-R1

Speakers showcased in Munich and developed in collaboration with American audio guru Devon Turnbull of the Ojas brand.

Extremely limited edition, with very few units available in Italy.

Includes dedicated Klipsch KS-AS stands.

The Klipsch + OJAS kO-R1 is a two-way loudspeaker born from the meeting between Klipsch's long-standing acoustic tradition and the visionary approach of OJAS, the brand founded by artist Devon Turnbull. The result of an exclusive collaboration, this strictly limited-edition model stands out for its exceptional handcrafted build, meticulously assembled at the Klipsch workshops in Hope, Arkansas, where nearly a century of loudspeaker expertise is brought to life in every detail. The minimalist aesthetic, true to the OJAS design philosophy, is enhanced by premium materials: the cabinet is made from 13-ply Baltic birch plywood, while the exposed sandcast aluminum multicell horn at the top becomes a visual and functional centerpiece.

Each component is carefully selected to deliver cutting-edge performance and a sound that is dynamic, responsive, and natural. With a high sensitivity of 97.5 dB, it pairs beautifully even with low-power amplification. The horn is mounted on an adjustable bracket for precise alignment, while anti-vibration rubber feet, anodized aluminum binding posts, and a laser-engraved metal ID plate emphasize its uniqueness and obsessive attention to detail.

The kO-R1 is not only an acoustic device but also a visually impactful object, designed to be displayed and experienced. The package includes robust Klipsch KS-12 stands, purpose-built to ensure optimal listening height and to enhance the speaker’s dramatic presence. Completing the experience is a beautifully bound monograph that chronicles the entire creative process—from inspiration to final production—offering full immersion into the world that brought this remarkable loudspeaker to life.
