Decent Sound But…

I bought this based on reviews glowing about the awesome Klipsch sound and the connectivity with a phono preamp. I am a little disappointed with the sound. Sound is good but you have to have the speaker in sweet spot of not too quiet and not too loud. Also I feel there is a mid scoop or mid weakness especially when playing the phono. I only read one online review that mentioned the weak minds which I find surprising. My Sonos book shelf speakers sound considerably better when playing over Bluetooth. An adjustable eq would be a nice addition.
This is our 3rd Klipsch Three II. The first was great; the second arrived with no power and damage during shipping. The most recent arrived safely but the remote doesn't work. Speaker is great. just these minor annoying issues.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Decent Tabletop, too bad the bluetooth is not HD

I have two Klipsch Three II units, purchased ~ 2 years apart. They serve a niche application (table top, compact package, BT, phono pre-amp, aux in), and for that it does a decent job. Bass is pronounced and it does get impressively loud. However, the older version I have shows up with 'HD audio: Qualcomm aptX audio' on my Android device. The new unit does not have this option, and the spec sheet is on version 03, without mention of BT specification. THD is also prominent at high volume. It seems the hardware was downgraded along the way and I can tell the difference on complex tracks, but again for 90% of cases for how this speaker should be used, I think it does a respectable job.
To elaborate - The sound quality leaves a bit to be desired at times. If you only use it for filling in the background for ambiance or parties, it's great. If you're looking for a discerning presentation of a masterpiece, you'll unquestionably be disappointed and misguided in your pursuit for unobtainium. I don't fault Klipsch, I believe their marketing is appropriate.
If you're looking for the same feature set in a higher quality presentation, you'll have to step up to the Fives, Sevens, or Nines.
The Three II Walnut is a solid addition to my living room. The walnut finish and retro design look great, and the sound quality is clear and well-balanced. It’s versatile with plenty of connectivity options, making it easy to use for music or other audio. While I wouldn’t say I’m in love with it, I definitely like it and think it’s a good choice for anyone looking for a stylish speaker with reliable performance.
I would recommend this to a friend!
