The Klipsch The Fives II skip that step. Each pair is a complete powered stereo system with the amplifier, streaming, and inputs already built in. Just connect a TV, turntable, or laptop straight to the speakers and start listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eInside each cabinet is a 1\" titanium tweeter on a Tractrix horn, paired with a 5.25\" Jet Cerametallic woofer. Both drivers sit on a one-piece baffle that resists resonance better than the multi-piece baffle on the original Fives. A rear-firing port adds low-end extension without a separate subwoofer. Together, the system reaches 50Hz to 25kHz (±3dB) and a maximum output of 103dB per pair, with hi-res audio up to 24-bit\/96kHz and Dolby Atmos decoding with virtual height channels, so movies and TV shows get a sense of overhead space even without in-ceiling speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003ePowered by Onkyo, Voiced by Klipsch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eKlipsch and Onkyo are now part of the same company, and that shows up directly inside the Fives II. Onkyo builds the amplifier and processing, while Klipsch handles the acoustic design, the same horn-loaded approach the brand has used for decades. This second-generation model fixes the biggest complaints about the original: a stiffer baffle for cleaner mids, and more digital inputs for how people watch TV and stream music today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eControl comes from a metal wheel on the primary speaker, a backlit remote, or the Klipsch Connect Plus app. The system is also Roon Ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe Fives II come in three finishes: Ebony, Walnut, and Red Oak. Ebony and Walnut pair a wood-veneer cabinet with a dark grille, while Red Oak pairs a lighter wood finish with a white baffle and light gray grille for a more modern look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWhat Reviewers Are Saying\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eNathan Miller of \u003cem\u003eListenUp\u003c\/em\u003e, in an April 13, 2026 review, wrote that the Fives II \"sound good, they look good, and they feel premium,\" with \"a really enjoyable balance of energy, punch, and convenience.\" He noted that \"placement matters more than a casual buyer might expect\" to get the best imaging, and called them an easy way to get Klipsch's Gen II convenience, TV connectivity, streaming, and vinyl support in a compact footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWho Is This Speaker Best For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;padding-left:1.4em;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou don't want to buy a separate amplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e — everything needed to drive the speakers is built in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou're replacing a soundbar\u003c\/strong\u003e — with real stereo sound and Dolby Atmos for movies and TV.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou own a turntable\u003c\/strong\u003e — the built-in phono stage means it connects directly, with no separate phono preamp needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou want one system for TV, streaming, and vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e — HDMI eARC, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and RCA inputs are all included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIf you already own a receiver and passive speakers,\u003c\/strong\u003e the built-in amplification here is redundant — a traditional bookshelf speaker fits your setup better.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eHow Does It Connect to Your System?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe primary speaker is the hub.
