Bought this product for the frankly crazy amount of uses it can provide however it is clear that theres simply too much to be good. The first two months I had strange issues that were cleared on warranty, after a year new and different symptoms started occuring. Now its been 4+ years and it started making random crackles while playing music. Then it stopped working entirely, going from power-off with no power indication to power-off with the red LED indicating power. Kept looping until it stopped entirely, now it won't show any signs of life. Great product as long as its within warrantly but Klipsch bit off more than they could chew with this product.

I had this unit for about a year.. at first it worked great, then it asked me to do and update and after the update the music would cut off every 2-3 minutes. It said "lost connectivity " it was like that for about 6 months now it won't even turn on. This was my first Klipsch product, I had bought it because I've heard so much about them... but I was extremely disappointed.

Great clean power, great functionality. Low profile and stackable.

Just got it for few hours. It was just knocked out after turning it on for about 30mins. It should be from the heat. I got 30mins to try the app, though it works well on Spotify but very tough to run Tidal on the app.

the amp is getting too hot all the time, makes hissing noise - notable even when away from speakers.
