The Two Speakers In Full
Klipsch The Sevens II: $1,929.00 per pair Amazon eBay
Older model: the Klipsch The Sevens (rated 3.7/5).
Pros: A 6.5-inch Cerametallic woofer and a 1-inch titanium tweeter in Klipsch’s Tractrix horn, with 200W of amplification per side. It adds far more than the original Sevens: HDMI 2.1 eARC with Dolby Atmos decoding, Wi-Fi streaming with Google Cast, AirPlay 2, Spotify, Tidal and Qobuz Connect and Roon Ready, Dirac Live room correction, a phono stage, and RCA, USB-C, optical and coaxial inputs plus Bluetooth. Klipsch rates it at 39Hz to 25kHz.
Cons: Erin’s Audio Corner has reviewed it, but the measurements the other speakers here are ranked on aren’t available yet, so it can’t be placed against them or against the original Sevens. At about $1,900 to $2,000 a pair it costs roughly twice as much as the original.

Klipsch The Nines: $999.99 per pair Crutchfield eBay
Pros: The 1.7dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz supports even mids, and measured -3dB extension is 42.5Hz. Extensive consumer connections and app adjustment make it convenient for TV and music, while the horn provides a focused listening presentation. Erin called it his favorite Klipsch speaker. Measured bass extension of 42.5Hz (-3dB), with a measured sensitivity of 82.5dB.
Cons: The 6.90 ideal-subwoofer score reflects limitations beyond the narrow midband span. Horizontal coverage is relatively focused, so placement matters for multiple seats. The reviewer preferred reduced treble, and bass limiting at higher playback levels means the large woofer is not a guarantee of unlimited output. The app’s flat setting leaves treble elevated; Erin preferred a -2dB tweeter trim.
