Klipsch Tangent 30 Speakers

I came across my first pair of Klipsch speakers today, the Tangent 30.



The Tangents were Klipsch's mass market speakers for those who could not afford the Heritage line.

This speaker uses two 8" woofers in a sealed box and a horn compression tweeter. Super efficient at 96db these will work well with my tube amps. The cabinets are well built with real wood veneer and weigh in at 45lbs each.

So far I have had a few songs on these and I like what I hear. Granted I am a fan of horn tweeters mow. The dual 8" woofers have pretty good, tight bass response.

The Tangents were built between 1989 and 1991 and the focus was on clear sound, which when paired with a tube amp, these are very clear.

  1. i found a pair of these at a yard sale for $25. one tweeter was not working, but it was only a broken lead on one of the caps. i have them in my den with a pair of jbl 4410a. i use the tangents 90% of the time.

    1. They are a nice speaker. Tight fast bass due to a double 8 inch woofer that also handles the mids well. Horn tweeters are much more revealing than domes or cones.

      At 96db efficient they sound fabulous on a single ended tube amp.

  2. I have a pair of Tangent 20 and they jazz out perfectly with my Line Magnetics tube gear.
