Short answer: the Vifa Reykjavik. It ranks #19 of 59 small speakers by sound quality, rated 3.6/5, at $249; the Klipsch Miami ranks #27, rated 3.3/5, and costs $399.99, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
The Vifa Reykjavik is the better-sounding, lighter pick. In side by side tests it was the best tuned, flattest and clearest next to the JBL Charge 4 and Ultimate Ears Boom 3. At 1.3 lbs (600 g) it weighs much less than the Klipsch Miami at 32 lbs (14.5 kg). Watch for: Thin bass at low volume and less punch than the Charge 4, and What Hi-Fi found its midrange lacks solidity.
What the Klipsch Miami does well: Mid-sized party speaker equipped with dual 5.25-inch woofers and dual horn-loaded tweeters delivering up to 105dB peak output. The catch: Weighs approximately 32 lbs (14.5 kg), requiring wheels or a two-handed lift.
Buy the Vifa Reykjavik. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Klipsch Miami and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
About the ratings: the Klipsch Miami’s rating is estimated from measured siblings and predecessors rather than its own measurements, with a likely range of 3.1 to 3.5, so this verdict could change once it is measured.
