Klipsch The Nines
A pair of active loudspeaker systems released in 2022 with a mid-century modern design and an MSRP of $1,499.
Overview
Klipsch The Nines are powered stereo speakers. They're also called an integrated loudspeaker system or 2-way active wireless bookshelf speakers. Klipsch introduced them in 2022 as part of its heritage series, after models like The Fives and The Sevens. The aim was expressive, room-filling sound with minimal setup. Each speaker has an 8" driver and a 90° x 90° silicone composite horn, which is designed for efficient high-frequency wave transfer and crisp, clear audio. One reviewer called The Nines their favorite Klipsch speaker to date and praised its "huge hi-fi sound."
