Klipsch Group

It's got built-in streaming and Sonos for multi-room wireless distribution.

And it has a Klipsch optimized mode with precise crossover settings for reference premier speakers.

All right.

Now, how did it start? So John's Denon X3200 started dying after 10 years when his HDMI board gave out and his subwoofer quit around the same time.

Every human being is chasing something, right? Some formative experience.

You think the guys at Klipsch, right, or the guys at Bose, you think they are not chasing the absolute sound? Yeah, sure, that's what they think they're doing, but they're doing it from the perspective of something.

And that may not be articulable.

That may not be something that they have psychologically put their hands around, right? But it's in there.

and the new Infinity launches in a fiercely competitive part of the market.

I tested a maxed out QX65 autograph with diamond stitched leather upholstery and an impressive Klipsch audio system.

It's stickered at $69,910, a price comparable to its competitors' top models.

Why buy a 2027 Infiniti QX56? The QX, I'm, the QX56, and then it says QX65 here.

Seriously,

Audioslave, if you were down with Audioslave, you probably had, like, Klipsch speakers.

You know what I mean? You were like, spent way too much money on your sound system.

Yeah,

And JVL has done that pretty well.

But yeah, on the commercial side, I mean, on the consumer side, look, Klipsch would be a brand that's kind of standardized on horns.

Now, they don't necessarily have compression drivers in all the models either.

They probably have a dome tweeter into a horn.

I

did get to hear the Klipsch Ojas.

No, let's talk about that.

Speaker, which was being driven by a Macintosh tube amplifier.

Yeah, how was it? After the gold rush.

It was magical.

I heard also in that room Klipsch, La Scala.

The La Scalas, yeah, that's right, yes.

Yeah.

And that's not a bad thing, and I think he does a good job balancing, like, both highlighting old things that are still really good while also giving attention to, like, Fosi and, you know, Klipsch has been going through a big overhaul, and he's been highlighting that.

Hmm.

And, like, so he does a really good job at everything he does, but-

[laughs]

So, uh, big giant Klipsch speakers, the big speakers that are, like, four and a half feet tall.

Yeah.

Uh, liquid cooled, you know-

Uh, and it's kind of a preview of Black Friday early in October.

So the LG OLEDs, the Sony RGBs, the Samsung frames, the Klipsch speakers, the Denon receivers, the Sonos wireless, uh, pretty much if you want it, it's on sale somewhere, and, uh, that w- might include here if it's one of the things that we carry.

'Cause they drop the prices on everything this week or for a few days.

Uh, what I love about it is it's over on Sunday.

Right.

Like Klipsch, for example, is a, uh, Schneider Electric brand.

They have a lot of Zigbee stuff, um, and other, you know, uh, CBUS and, and other open protocols.

I'm sure there's, um, other companies in there too that have open standards.
