Klipsch The Nines II best buy speakers in 2026 ! I'm super impressed. The build quality is excellent. Sound is incredible. I have them about 10" from the wall and the low frequency coupling is unreal for such

Remember Roy Allison, who went from Acoustic Research to Allison to RDL ? Well my RDLs are done, and my excellent Hafler preamp has died just as I'm starting to transition to streaming with Tidal. The Nines II have exceeded expectations. Dirac Live has replaced my 10 band equalizer, and the results are satisfying excellent. It's so nice to have the included mike to perform the setup. This is a system designed from the ground up to optimize digital content. I'm ditching my external streamer as relying on The Nines II keeps the signal in the digital domain from the streaming service all the way through the DSP crossover to the final DAC stage - with zero intermediate analog conversions. Dirac corrects anomalies in real time, and from what I understand it performs best on an uncontaminated digital signal, not one that has been through an extra ADC round-trip from a streamer->preamp->Nines. The loud end is rich and full, the midtones are smooth, the high end sparkles w/out harshness. For me, the standout quality is the magical soundstage imaging. Apparently, coupling bi-amp active speakers with Dirac substantially improves phase accuracy. Congrats, Klipsch, these are very well engineered active speakers.

Legendary American Sound
For 80 years, Klipsch has redefined high-fidelity sound, crafting speakers with passion and precision right here in the United States. Following in the footsteps of our founder, Paul W. Klipsch, we pack decades of acoustic expertise into every product, and The Nines II are no exception. The product of our tireless approach to engineering and a never-ending quest for perfect sound, The Nines II embody the spirit of American design: reliable, revolutionary and ready to rock.
Your Setup. Already Setup. - Powered By Onkyo
Our collaboration with Onkyo brings hundreds of years of expertise, innovation, and rigorous testing into The Nines II Powered Speakers. At the heart of the system is an AVR architecture that enables advanced content processing, precise decoding, and dynamic optimization for a true home theater experience. This all-new electronics package delivers our legendary American sound with the connectivity customers expect.
HDMI 2.1
By including an HDMI 2.1 In/Out solution, the Nines II powered speakers deliver a simpler setup, better sound, and full next-gen compatibility by using a single cable to connect to your TV via eARC while passing through the highest-quality video and audio from connected devices.
HDMI 2.1 supports uncompressed, high-resolution formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, improves lip-sync accuracy, enables TV remote volume control, and allows gamers to enjoy 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, and HDR without sacrificing performance. The result is a future-proof speaker system that acts as the hub of your entertainment setup - eliminating extra boxes and cables while delivering cinema-quality sound and seamless gaming and TV integration.
Dolby Atmos Sound
Dolby Atmos immersive audio formatting enhances your experience by placing sounds precisely around and above you, creating a realistic, immersive and multidimensional surround sound environment, even with two speakers.
Dirac Live Standard License Included
Dirac Live Room Correction automatically creates the perfect soundscape for your space by tuning to your room. Dirac Live corrects anomalies in real time, utilizing advanced software to deliver the optimal acoustic experience. After a quick scan, The Nines II deliver lifelike audio tailored to you with no manual equalization necessary.
Built-In Streaming
Powered by Onkyo's precise, high-performance technology, The Nines II go beyond HDMI connectivity, letting you stream your favorite platforms, including Google Cast, Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect, and more.
Wireless Hi-Res Stereo
The Nines II now offer optional cable-free stereo playback. Connect them the old-school way for 96kHz of pure audio bliss, or skip the wires and enjoy 48kHz of robust, studio- and cinema-quality sound with nothing to hide.
One-Piece BMC Baffle
The new one-piece BMC baffle is denser and more rigid than the previous version, stopping unwanted resonance. A curved radius on all edges widens the soundstage, improving off-axis sound (so audio doesn't drop off) and producing a more detailed response without masking.
