Klipsch is celebrating their 80th anniversary, and they unveiled their new lineup of powered speakers at CES 2026 to commemorate the occasion. The Fives II, The Sevens II and The Nines II feature Klipsch's patented horn-loaded technology and new Onkyo engineering to redefine what powered speakers look and sound like. Think of these three speakers as good, better, best, with something for every room layout and budget.

Get Started with The Fives II

The Fives II could be considered the "entry-level" model in this lineup, but its features are anything but basic. With HDMI 2.1 In/Out, Klipsch's newest speakers deliver simpler setup, better sound and flexible compatibility. HDMI 2.1 makes possible support for formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, and The Fives II feature Dolby Atmos with Virtual Height Channels for immersive, realistic sound. As we mentioned, the integrated Onkyo technology really elevates these speakers, adding compatibility with AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Google Cast and more. All the features on The Fives II can also be found on The Sevens II and The Nines II if you're looking for bigger speakers for a larger room.

A Little Something Extra with The Sevens II

The Sevens II is the mid-range model of the group, adding onto the great features of The Fives II with the addition of Dirac Live calibration. Dirac Live uses a microphone to listen to your room's acoustics, then corrects any anomalies for perfectly tailored sound. While The Fives II has only a wired connection, The Sevens II supports both wired and wireless connections for the speaker pair, offering more flexible installation and configuration options.

Go Ultra-Premium with The Nines II

The Nines II are the most premium model in the lineup, and have more features in addition to all the features on The Sevens II. On top of streaming support, wireless connectivity and Dirac Live support, The Nines II also features DTS:X with Virtual:X, which enhances sound with deeper bass, clearer dialog and directional audio. We're definitely excited about Klipsch's newest powered speakers with their blend of superior audio performance and simple setup. You can connect these speakers to everything from your TV to your turntable to really amp up the sound. All three models will be available from spring 2026. The Fives II retail for $1,399.99 per pair, The Sevens II retail for $1,999.99 per pair and The Nines II retail for $2,399.99 per pair.
