Klipsch The Sevens Heritage Inspired (Pair) Powered Speakers - Walnut

TLDR: These are excellent, easy 5 stars. The music and TV sounds amazing, no sub required for me. History: I've always owned soundbars and they come with a sub and it is setup to be overpowering bass to distract from the fact that the little speakers are not the best quality. In a bedroom affixed to a wall, the soundbar sounds fine. Usage: This was going in a living room connected to a Frame TV, so I wanted something more classy looking and I went with the walnut to blend better. Setup: They were easy to setup and I connected via HDMI, so my TV will control the volume, so I only have to use the one remote. Some minor adjusting with the Klipsch Connect app was necessary because they come standard with not the best EQ settings. The Dynamic bass boost enabled, raise the mids up 2, bass up 4, treble up 1. It's important to slightly angle the speakers a few degrees, so the sound will cross a few feet from the end of the room. The cables make it so the speakers are a couple inches away from the wall, which is necessary because there are air exhaust vents on the back. The Result: These are really amazing. They were 800 and worth every penny. I'm actually extremely blown away. Better than any sound bar. On low volume they're crisp, and high volume booming with my settings. I was going to get a sub, but the 6.5" subs are more than sufficient. These are the best speakers I've ever owned. They're sleek and classy looking and sound amazing. Extremely plug and play friendly with only a few minutes fiddling with the app.

Purchased another popular powered speaker with a three initial name and higher price tag. The wife who has exceptional critical listening skills laughed and commented they sounded like our first generation Sonos. I completely agreed. The sound was thin, tinny with no bass at all. They were quickly boxed up and sent back. No slight against the Sonos, it’s great for its size and price but these were 7x the price! No Bueno The Sevens went on sale for Black Friday and I ordered a pair immediately. I’m a big fan of Klipsch since I first heard a pair of Klipschhorns as a teenager and have a pair of vintage Forte’s in the basement on our two channel stereo and surround system. We wanted something better than the Sonos in the upstairs living room that didn’t take up too much space. These fit the bill although not small by any means and not light either, these are real speakers not toys! They were well packaged and extremely easy to set up. I added a WiiM mini for streaming via the optical input. Like any speaker they take a little time to break in, but immediately they filled the medium size living room with full, rich, alive sound. Highs are high without being harsh, vocals and mids are crisp and lifelike and more than enough bass without a sub for us as they mostly provide background music. Maybe if you like bass heavy music and want a bit more a sub would work but try them first. The finish is beautiful and matches out mid century house. Might not work if you like the modern plastic vacuum sweeper look of modern designs but that’s up for you to decide. I didn’t try any of the other brands at this price point and at the sale price honestly there wasn’t anything close to even look at. Pros: Sound Looks Easy setup Sound Cons: No built in streamer (although I prefer being able to sync WiiM’s across three different systems in the house) Price at retail (although pound for pound they are still a deal. Wait for sales) Looks may not blend well in modern homes I wish the grill fabric was darker to match the heritage full size models.

Well... These were my all-time favorite speakers I had ever owned, and by a wide margin. Sound was absolutely incredible, dare I even say perfect. But, unfortunately, just like many other reviews I've been noticing as of recent, these speakers were poorly designed using extremely low quality components and they have a tendency to die. That's just what happened to me today... Several weeks ago I noticed a static-laced "clicking" sound that would go on for about ten seconds before the system started up. As the days went on, it would go on for longer and longer. Eventually it would take anywhere from 5 - 10 minutes just for the system to start up and get any audio output from it whatsoever. Then came today... Cables were replaced, various inputs tested, app updates, etc. and nada, nothing, DOA... Three hours of trouble-shooting and it's safe to say they just completely gave up the ghost. And, most conveniently, being that I'm out of warranty, they basically told me I'm SOL and offered to SELL me a replacement amplifier board. Yeah, no thanks. I'm extremely disgusted at the moment and will never, ever, under any circumstance buy another Klipsch product for the rest of my life, passive, active, whatever. I'm done with Klipsch. It's clearly no longer the great American company that it once was, but then again, what really even is still in this day and age? Look elsewhere for quality audio products, and (as much as I loved and had a strong preference for active systems) buy passive speakers and separates, it will serve you better in the long haul.

Sound quality is excellent and everything works perfectly. However, the volume knob is slightly misaligned and touches the side a bit — it works fine, but the tactile feel isn’t 100% perfect. Bought as Open Box – Like New, so this is probably one of those small imperfections. Overall great performance, just not flawless in build details.

The Sevens are phenomenal!! Great connection for varied listening devices. I purchased for vinyl purposes, but the Bluetooth option is fun as well. I will say the volume changes greatly in power from phone to bluetooth. They have paired well with my Fluance player. Heavy bass, solid speaker build while not being too large, crystal clear - even the background sounds on records are poppin. Very happy with my purchase.

Delivered quickly and thanks for the sale! I am coming from the Fives on a Topping balanced Pre-amp and VMVD2R. I have a large desk at home. It is really a dinner table that I use as a desk because I like huge computers and monitors. These fit well on my desk due to its large size. These speakers are medium sized, not ideal for small or standard sized desks. I think if you have 32" or lower monitor and a 70 inch desk, you should be fine. I know these are made for, "room listening," but the sound stage is so much wider, with much warmer and well integrated mids. Highs aren't as harsh as with the fives. I find that this matches much better with the included DSP for lower volume listening on my Klipsch 12" sub. I haven't tried this on my turntable, but I bet it would give my 1000 dollar (which is not extravagent, I know) set-up of the Swan d3.1 and emotitiva Ta1 a big run for their money. Grab these before they are gone ya'll!!

I REALLY needed an upgrade. This was the right choice. Glad I didn't get the Nines because this fills the room beautifully, even at high volume.

I love these speakers. Very good to listen to all kinds of music. Not needing all the equipment and to be able to Bluetooth to all my devices is excellent. I do wish they had used the more updated bluetooth tech., but you cant win them all. The only issue I have had and it is rare is that they have a bit of trouble connecting. This is usually rectified by turning a device off and then on. Sound quality is great, especially after you give them some break in. They don't need to be super loud to hear, but, they definitely like being turned up. I use them for TV, and to stream music in my house. I would definitely recommend. Powered speakers are the wave of the future to me.

Awesome speakers!!

Funcionaron a la perfección, pero después de un poco más de un año y medio fallaron, simplemente dejaron de "sonar", las bocinas prenden y se pueden seleccionar los Inputs, sin embargo no se emite ningún sonido. El equipo de Soporte de Klipsch te ayuda a ejecutar un par de procesos de reinicio y actualización de Firmware, pero no soluciona el problema. El siguiente paso es contactar a un Dealer Local... en el caso de México hay solo dos Dealers, de los cuales uno es Best Buy el cual ya no existe en México.... Lamentablemente no hay nada que hacer y nadie se hace responsable, he perdido más de $25,000 pesos en este equipo y no hay forma de hacer nada. Tengo otros productos de la marca y funcionan perfectamente, pero este modelo NO LES RECOMIENDO COMPRARLO, es mucho arriesgarse a que les suceda lo mismo que a mi. En foros encontré que es un error común y nadie ha podido solucionarlo, al parecer también sucede en los modelos The Nines y The Fives.
