"Simply One of the Best" Powered Speakers, Featuring Legendary Klipsch Sound
The Nines powered monitors from legendary speaker manufacturer Klipsch deliver room-filling sound without taking up much space.
Audio enjoyment couldn't be easier. Thanks to a custom engineered built-in amplifier, these powered speakers maximize sound output and quality — without the need to connect them to a stereo amp or receiver. Featuring 192kHz / 24-bit decoding through all digital inputs, your Nines will flawlessly reproduce high resolution sounds straight from your TV, PC or streaming source.
Simplicity meets sophistication. Using luxury materials such as real wood veneer along with tactile switches and knobs, the Nines – like every member of the Klipsch Heritage Wireless series of powered audio systems – blend the acoustics and classic design legacy of Paul W. Klipsch with the latest technologies available today.
"Recommended Component" Honors
Stereophile honored The Nines by awarding it the magazine's coveted Recommend Component status for 2025.
According to Tom Fines, "Klipsch's The Nines is a flexible, good-sounding speaker-gadget system priced to be accessible to a wide range of users. They make a great TV-sound system, with the built-in ability to stream music from a Bluetooth-connected phone-gadget or tablet. They can also be the heart of a high-quality first step into high fidelity, with connectivity for streaming, CDs, and vinyl, plus the television. As a small-room system, they will fill the space with music either by themselves or in conjunction with a subwoofer."
Streamlining Your Audio Life
The Nines incorporate individual ultra-low noise amplifiers that are custom designed to maximize system performance and eliminate the need for external amplification – significantly streamlining your audio life. An included wireless remote makes operation especially convenient.
"The Nines simply are one of the best one-box audio solutions on the market, period," remarks Caleb Denison, digitaltrends.com, June 14, 2023. "It’s simple. They sound awesome. I’ve enjoyed these speakers so, so much. I haven’t had this much fun since we had the Forte IV in here. They have that Klipsch Heritage speaker vibe nailed."
Award-Winning Performance
The Nines grabbed an Applause Award from stereonet.com. According to Mark Gusew, "The Nines are at the top of the tree and have incredible levels of performance at the price, within a reasonably compact package. Despite the lack of inbuilt network-capable streaming, this system should suit most users' needs and complement modern living, especially when connected to a TV. As Klipsch says: 'Simply plug, play, and enjoy.'"
The Nines went on to win not just one but TWO different "Recommended" awards from avsforums.com. Martin Dew observes, "The powered speaker pair category is one that is getting honed and more sophisticated year on year. It’s good to see Klipsch taking on the challenge of producing fine sounding hybrid speakers that will satisfy both music and movie lovers’ predilections."
According to Ed Selley, "As a means of boosting your TV, performing as a music source and delivering a big, confident sound throughout, this is a very capable product that walks a different path to most lifestyle rivals. The big Klipsch is a unique proposition and comes enthusiastically Recommended."
An Immersive and Complete Sound System
World class Klipsch engineers picked and tuned the components to be an absolute perfect match throughout, making the system sound incredibly immersive and complete. The Nines are also bi-amped – using one amp for low frequencies, and a second amp for higher frequencies – resulting in improved clarity and output.
Total system power is a huge 240 watts with 480 watts peak power, consisting of 100 watts for low frequencies and 20 watts for high frequencies.
Legendary Precise, Clear, Highly Efficient Klipsch Sound
The Nines are Klipsch all the way in terms of technology and performance, They feature 1” titanium tweeters on Tractrix® horns, a proprietary technology that has been the driving force behind the stunningly precise Klipsch acoustics dating back to the earliest days of the company. And this latest iteration of a proven horn design easily keeps pace with the demands of hi-res music.
Dynamic Bass EQ – Onboard a Powered Speaker!
Low frequency response is impressive, too. Each powered monitor also features a big 8.0" long-throw woofer and is ported to provide enhanced bass dipping way down to 32 Hz.
Onboard the Nines is a featured called Dynamic Bass EQ. As the human ear perceives frequencies differently with variations in output, The Nines will dynamically match the ear’s ability to hear lower frequencies.
Typically, only available with audio/video receivers, dynamic volume is a first for Klipsch powered monitors. What you get is powerful bass whether the listening volume is low, cranked up or somewhere in between. You'll enjoy a whole new dimension to your streaming content, TV watching, and more with the dynamic bass power of the Nines.
"Transparent, Natural Sound"
"The Nines have the signature Klipsch horn that gives the high-end clarity a transparent, natural sound with smooth dialogue and brilliant tonality to percussion and acoustic instruments, reports Leslie Shapiro, soundandvision.com, November 28, 2023. "I wanted slightly better dialogue clarity and a few more tonal controls on the remote control, but other than that, there is little to fault with the The Nines."
The Most Versatile Speakers on the Planet
Whether you are connecting to a turntable, television, computer, or smart phone, The Nines provide the solution. The Nines come equipped with an integrated phono pre-amp allowing you to directly connect your 'table without an external phono stage. Few powered speakers give you this great feature. But, after all, this is Klipsch!
You also get Bluetooth® 5, HDMI-ARC, digital optical, analog RCA and USB inputs, allowing you to enjoy superior stereo sound from a beautifully crafted stereo system that's entirely build around this simple and powerful speaker pair. Using HDMI-ARC, enjoy The Nines with your TV with no additional cables or remotes using the included HDMI cable. (Klipsch thinks of everything.)
192 kHz / 24-Bit Decoding Supports High Resolution Audio
If you enjoy music streaming – and who doesn't these days? – these speakers are made for you. The Nines powered monitors feature a built-in DAC providing 192kHz / 24-bit decoding for flawless reproduction of high-resolution audio tracks from your PC or streaming source.
Crave even louder, lower bass with movies, music, and other media. The Nines have you covered. Included is a subwoofer output, allowing you to easily add a powered sub of your own and connect it to the Nines.
"Always Invited Me to Keep on Listening"
"By now, it should be clear that The Nines can do much more than just piss off the neighbors. This system can certainly play loudly when you want," observes Gordon Brockhouse, soundstagesimplifi.com, August 1, 2023.
"But you will have to push it very hard before it begins to sound ugly—that never happened during my testing. Instead, what I consistently heard was smooth, fluid sound with gobs of dynamic expression. The Nines always invited me to keep on listening."
