Klipsch - The Nines 8" Powered Speakers (Pair) - Matte Black

This is my first Klipsch speaker system, and wow, they did not disappoint. The Nines sound incredible right out of the box: rich, powerful, and crystal clear whether I’m watching TV, spinning vinyl, or streaming music. The app is surprisingly great and easy to use, and the “quiet” feature is a lifesaver for evening movies or late-night listening. It keeps things balanced and clear without shaking the entire building (well… mostly). Overall, these speakers are an absolute win. I’m happy. My living room is happy. The neighbor below? Not so much. But let’s be honest… there’s always a Karen ready to ruin a good experience. Highly recommend if you want amazing sound with minimal hassle, and maybe slightly annoyed neighbors.

So I bought Klipsch The Nines on sale and a couple weeks later the SPL-120 was on sale so...... The Nines sound great on their own but after adding the sub- awesome. I replaced a Bose soundbar, sub and rears with this and there is no comparison, music is fuller, richer, clear and TV/movies came alive. I was prepared to spend a lot more money to finally have a great sounding stereo but I decided to try this thinking I'd return it if I didn't like it and be justified to spend the additional money. After listening to this setup for over a month, I am extremely happy and won't be returning.

I absolutely love the sound of this speaker. When given some time to break in and left to the flat setting. You will get an engaging sound with plenty of dynamics. The app and remote are great additions you can control the subwoofer levels, chance inputs and have eq adjustments.

[Employee of bestbuy] Definitely a little larger than bookshelf size but with that said, absolutely amazing speakers. Insane clarity amd seperation across the board for music, movies, tv and even video games, and still able to give you fantastic bass through the dual 8” subs. On top of that the connectivity of these are amazing with BT, HDMI earc support, phono output for records and even a subwoofer out port if somehow they don’t already give you enough bass. They even have an in-app EQ to adjust for different content types. If you are looking for AVR quality but dont want to spend the minimum $2500/dont have the space for all of the components , these are an exeptional choice for the pricepoint.

These active speakers are truly amazing. If you get them on sale, the price to performance is second to none! The quality of everything in the box speaks for itself. Klipsch really gave a high attention to detail with these speakers from the modern vintage look, the included braided cables, the quality knibd and connections, and thats before even listening to them! Once powered on and connected, these speakers really shine. It’s not even fair to compare them to other bookshelves as these really compete with floorstanders. It would cost way more to get a quality receiver, amp, dac, etc. And a pair of floorstanders that could match what The Nines are capable of. This is all before we have even mentioned THE BASS. The Nines are more than capable of being a standalone system without the need of a subwoofer. Of course if youre a real bass-head and need the whole block to shake then go for an additional subwoofer, but trust me these were shaking my whole house without one. The only reason The Nines get a 9/10 is the lack of a Wifi connection for high quality streaming. Other than that the quality of all the other features and the truly amazing performance make these a No-Brainer. Don’t even hesitate, buy them already.
