Klipsch The Nines II

The Klipsch The Nines II are premium powered bookshelf speakers created for listeners who demand high-fidelity sound, powerful performance, and modern connectivity without the complexity of a traditional separates system. Combining Klipsch’s decades of acoustic expertise with advanced electronics developed in collaboration with Onkyo, The Nines II deliver dynamic, room-filling sound from a remarkably streamlined setup. As a result, they bring music, movies, and games to life with clarity, scale, and effortless impact.

Klipsch heritage meets Onkyo engineering

Built on 80 years of Klipsch acoustic innovation, The Nines II combine the brand’s legendary American sound with an all-new electronics platform developed with Onkyo. At the heart of the system is AVR-based architecture that enables advanced content processing, precise decoding, and dynamic optimization. Consequently, The Nines II deliver a refined and engaging listening experience while providing the versatility expected from a modern home entertainment system.

HDMI 2.1 for next-generation entertainment

HDMI 2.1 connectivity makes The Nines II a powerful hub for your TV, movies, and gaming. With HDMI eARC, a single cable connects the speakers to your television while allowing high-quality audio and video signals to pass through from connected devices. Support for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, and HDR ensures compatibility with the latest entertainment formats. In addition, HDMI enables TV remote volume control and improved lip-sync accuracy, making everyday operation simple and seamless.

Immersive Dolby Atmos sound

Dolby Atmos processing creates a more immersive and multidimensional listening experience by positioning sound around and above the listener. Even from a two-speaker configuration, The Nines II can create a convincing sense of height and spaciousness. As a result, movies and games gain greater realism, while music benefits from an expansive and engaging presentation.

Dirac Live® room correction

Dirac Live® room correction automatically adapts the speakers to the acoustic characteristics of your listening environment. After a quick room scan, the system analyzes and corrects acoustic irregularities to create a more balanced and lifelike soundscape. Consequently, The Nines II can deliver optimized performance in a wide variety of rooms without requiring extensive manual equalization.

Built-in high-resolution streaming

The Nines II make accessing your favorite music effortless with a comprehensive selection of integrated streaming technologies. Google Cast, Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect, and more allow you to stream music directly to the speakers. Therefore, your favorite playlists, albums, and high-resolution services can be enjoyed without additional streaming hardware.

Wireless high-resolution stereo

The Nines II introduce optional cable-free stereo playback for a cleaner and more flexible installation. For maximum resolution, a wired connection supports up to 96kHz playback, while wireless stereo delivers up to 48kHz audio. As a result, listeners can choose between the ultimate wired performance and the convenience of a streamlined wireless setup without compromising the character of the Klipsch sound.

Rigid BMC construction for greater clarity

A new one-piece BMC baffle provides a denser and more rigid platform designed to suppress unwanted cabinet resonance. Its curved radius also helps widen the soundstage and improve off-axis performance. Consequently, The Nines II produce a more detailed and open presentation, allowing musical nuances and cinematic effects to remain clear and articulate.

Distinctive Red Oak finish

The Nines II combine their advanced technology with a bold new Red Oak finish. The carefully selected wood veneer gives the speakers a warm, sophisticated appearance while adding a distinctive visual character to any listening environment. In addition, the classic Klipsch-inspired design allows them to complement both traditional and contemporary interiors.
