Discover Klipsch's New Party-Ready Speakers
Just when we thought Klipsch couldn't surprise us anymore, they dropped a bombshell at CES 2025. For those who've been following since the 2023 release of the Music City Series, the newest additions are a real treat. Klipsch has expanded the lineup with three new portable Bluetooth speakers, each named after iconic party cities: Las Vegas, Miami, and New York.
These speakers aren't just about booming sound; they're a blend of Klipsch's legendary horn-loaded technology and modern party features. Developed under the guidance of Roy Delgado, a protégé of founder Paul W. Klipsch, they're designed to bring the energy of a live concert to any gathering.
Delgado mentioned, "It all started with a party... Paul was a DJ when he first used his legendary Klipschorn at a victory dance in Hope, Arkansas, celebrating the end of World War II." That spirit of celebration is evident in every aspect of these new models.
