Klipsch The Fives II Hi-Fi Bookshelf speaker Walnut

Klipsch The Fives II Walnut — Horn-Loaded Hi-Fi with Dolby Atmos

The Klipsch The Fives II Walnut powered speakers are a complete stereo system in bookshelf form, designed to replace a soundbar without sacrificing musicality. A 1" titanium LTS vented tweeter loaded into a Tractrix horn and a 5.25" Jet Cerametallic woofer deliver the dynamic, low-distortion sound Klipsch has refined over eight decades. The Fives II is the right choice for listeners who want one pair of speakers to handle TV audio, vinyl playback, gaming, and high-resolution streaming without adding a separate amplifier.

What Sets the Fives II Apart

An AVR architecture designed in collaboration with Onkyo enables Dolby Atmos decoding with virtual height channels from just two cabinets in the Fives II. The new one-piece BMC baffle is denser and more rigid than traditional MDF, suppressing unwanted resonance while a curved radius widens the off-axis soundstage. HDMI 2.1 with eARC handles uncompressed Dolby Atmos from a TV while passing 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video to a display.

Driver System and Cabinet Construction

The two-way design in the Fives II pairs Klipsch's signature horn-loaded high frequencies with a rigid, low-mass woofer for accurate bass and effortless dynamics. A rear-firing Tractrix port is matched to the cabinet to minimize turbulence at low frequencies.

• Tweeter: 1" titanium LTS vented tweeter with Tractrix horn — 90° x 90° dispersion for a broad, focused sweet spot
• Woofer: 5.25" Jet Cerametallic cone with rubber surround — spun-copper material holds its shape for high-output, low-distortion bass
• Cabinet: MDF with genuine wood veneer, one-piece BMC baffle — hand-crafted enclosure with magnetically attached grilles

Wired and Wireless Connectivity

From a single HDMI cable to a turntable plugged directly into the phono input, the Fives II accepts virtually any source without external gear.

• HDMI: HDMI 2.1 input + HDMI 2.1 eARC output — 8K/60Hz, 4K/120Hz, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, ALLM, VRR pass-through
• Streaming: Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 802.11ac dual-band, Ethernet — AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect
• Analog & digital: RCA phono MM, RCA line-level, optical, USB-A, USB-C — turntable, CD player, TV, computer, and USB drive supported

Amplification and Signal Processing

Bi-amped Class D amplification in the Fives II drives the woofer and tweeter through separate ultra-low-noise amplifiers. A 24-bit/96kHz DAC handles every digital source, while Dynamic Bass EQ adjusts low-frequency levels to match the ear's perception at any volume.

• Amplification: Bi-amped Class D, ultra-low-noise amplifiers — built into the primary speaker, paired with the secondary via a 4 m cable
• DAC: 24-bit / 96 kHz — high-resolution playback from HDMI, optical, USB, Bluetooth, and network sources
• Output: 103 dB SPL, 50 Hz - 25 kHz frequency response — room-filling dynamics with a subwoofer output for extended low end

Who Should Consider the Fives II

Listeners who want a single pair of speakers to anchor a TV setup, a turntable, and a streaming library without buying a separate amplifier will find the Fives II a natural fit. Audiophiles who appreciate horn-loaded dynamics will recognize the focused soundstage the Tractrix tweeter delivers, while vinyl enthusiasts benefit from the built-in phono preamp. Casual listeners can stream directly from Spotify, Tidal, or Qobuz over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth 5.4.
