Older models: the Klipsch The Three II (ranked higher, rated 3.4/5) and the Klipsch The Three (ranked lower, rated 2.6/5). See every Klipsch The One and The Three generation.
Same family: the Klipsch The One Plus (smaller model, estimated 3.4/5).
Pros: A retro tabletop speaker with a built in phono input for a turntable, plenty of volume and optical and USB-C inputs. A 4.8 kg tabletop speaker with a turntable-ready phono input and 120W of biamplification that plays far louder than its size suggests. Two 2.25in full-range drivers and a 5.25in woofer with two opposing passive radiators do the work: TechRadar and Trusted Reviews both found it stayed composed and unstressed at very high volume, with controlled, textured bass and a fairly detailed, communicative midrange. Inputs cover Bluetooth 5.3, a switchable phono/line RCA input, 24-bit/96kHz optical and USB-C playback, and the Klipsch Connect app adds a three-band EQ with presets and a night mode.
Cons: The tuning leans heavily on bass: TechRadar called it on the warm side of neutral with the treble only just holding its own, and HomeTheaterHifi found the treble turned sharp and piercing at higher volumes. Both TechRadar and Trusted Reviews found the built-in phono stage flat and less dynamic than the other inputs, so vinyl sounds its weakest here. Stereo separation is limited by the single cabinet, there is no 3.5mm aux or subwoofer output, and HomeTheaterHifi found the app and volume wheel laggy. ASR’s measurements of the original Klipsch The Three, which used the same driver layout, showed an uneven response, so treat its tonal balance with some caution.
