Klipsch’s Sevens And Nines Are Ready To Rattle Living Rooms

There were very few bright spots in 2020, but for home theater enthusiasts, Klipsch releasing its standout Fives was one of them. The Fives redefined what it meant to have a quality stereo system, providing a compelling counterpoint to soundbars’ utter domination of the home audio narrative. But if there was any fault to find with the Fives, it was their (relative) inability to fill out larger spaces without pushing the volume to distortion-inducing levels.

Nearly three years later, Klipsch is back to rectify that with its new The Sevens and The Nines monitors. The Sevens are ideal for medium-sized living rooms or home offices, while The Nines are better suited to cavernous rooms and production studios.

No matter what room they end up in, these monitors are sure to be attention-grabbers. The Sevens and the Nines are available in Walnut and Black, with handcrafted wood veneers and metal controls. Each also sports an easily-removed magnetic grille for those who wish to expose the Tractrix horns, though we prefer the refined midcentury design aesthetic of their buttoned-up look.

Like The Fives, both systems feature HDMI-ARC, digital optical, 3.5mm analog, Bluetooth, and USB audio connections. A subwoofer jack allows owners to expand this setup to a 2.1 system, but these monitors should offer enough rumble for most right out of the box. The Sevens kick out 200W of audio and use a 6.5” long-throw woofer for bass, while The Nines bump that up to 240 Watts and an 8” long-throw. Audiophiles can use the Klipsch Connect app for detailed EQ tweaks or trust the dynamic bass EQ for loudness correction. The Sevens and Nines are available for $1,299 and $1,499, respectively.
