Short answer: the Klipsch The Sevens II on measured sound quality, the Klipsch The Sevens on price. The Klipsch The Sevens II ranks #101 of 119 powered bookshelf speakers, rated 3.8/5, at $1,899.99. The Klipsch The Sevens ranks #108, rated 3.7/5, at $799.12, $1,100.87 cheaper.
The case for the Klipsch The Sevens II: A large powered pair with 6.5 inch woofers and 200W per side, plus HDMI eARC, Wi-Fi streaming, Dirac Live and a phono stage. The tradeoff: 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.
Why pick the Klipsch The Sevens: A powered stereo pair for TV and music with HDMI, phono, optical, USB and Bluetooth inputs plus a subwoofer output. The catch: The review found a recessed 2-4kHz region and upper-treble emphasis, producing a scooped balance that a simple treble reduction did not fully fix.
