Klipsch The Fives II, The Sevens II & The Nines II available in the UK

Henley Audio, UK distributor for Klipsch, has confirmed that The Fives II, The Sevens II and The Nines II are now available to purchase through UK retailers.

The news follows recent showcases at HIGH END Vienna 2026, where Klipsch displayed the new models as the next generation of its powered stereo speaker range. The line-up was presented at the North West Audio Show in Cheshire.

While the models retain familiar names, the second-generation range is built around a fundamentally different electronics architecture. At the centre of this approach is a new internal platform developed with sister company Onkyo. This design replaces the previous generation’s integrated electronics and represents a rewrite of the signal processing, connectivity and amplification.

The result is a significant step up in capability and performance. The new platform introduces HDMI 2.1 connectivity, expanded high-bandwidth video pass-through, Dolby Atmos support and upgraded digital audio processing and streaming integration designed for modern hi-fi and AV systems.

On The Sevens II and The Nines II, Dirac Live Room Correction (Limited Bandwidth version) is included and configured via the Klipsch Connect Plus app. Using the supplied measurement microphone, the system is calibrated to the listening environment through a guided setup process, delivering a more precise and balanced listening experience.

Across the range, Klipsch’s horn-loaded acoustic design remains, now paired with revised cabinet construction and a new single-piece baffle designed to improve rigidity and reduce resonance. Updated Jet Cerametallic woofers are used across the range in 5.25-inch, 6.5-inch and 8-inch formats.

With a redesigned electronics platform and expanded feature set, the second-generation models move into a higher tier, bringing capabilities more typically associated with separate AV components, including advanced room correction, wider format support and upgraded connectivity.

All three models are designed to function as standalone stereo systems with integrated streaming and amplification, supporting a wide range of modern and legacy sources.

Key features include HDMI eARC/ARC, optical and coaxial digital inputs, USB-C audio, Bluetooth 5.4, and built-in streaming support via Google Cast, Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect and Roon Ready.

A built-in phono stage is included across the range, allowing direct connection of turntables without an external preamp. Subwoofer outputs are also provided. The Sevens II and Nines II add additional flexibility through wireless left/right speaker linking, while the Nines II further expands connectivity with XLR inputs for studio and professional applications.

UK pricing is set as follows:

The Fives II: £1,189

The Sevens II: £1,799

The Nines II: £2,249

Klipsch The Fives II, The Sevens II and The Nines II are available in the UK now through authorised Klipsch retailers.
