Crutchfield:

“Klipsch’s LightSpeakers are the easiest-to-install in-ceiling speakers we’ve ever seen. It’s an ingenious idea to turn your canned lighting fixtures into unobtrusive speakers that disappear in your ceiling. Each speaker features a built-in amplifier and wireless receiver, as well as a low-distortion driver for clear, detailed sound. This all adds up to easy, wireless installation. The speakers screw into your existing lighting fixtures, no cabling required. They also include a long-lasting LED light bulb, so you won’t lose lighting in the area where you install the speaker.”

Audioholics:

“Frankly, we think the Klipsch LightSpeaker System is brilliant. When we first saw the product, we thought you just replaced the light with a speaker but the fact that you still get light (equivalent of 65 watt bulb) that will last 15 years or more AND uses less electricity… well, it seems like a win win.”

 

“When explaining HD to someone, it’s often hard to convey how cool it is. Same thing with surround sound. Until you’ve experienced it, it’s often impossible to understand what you are missing. The same thing is true about distributed audio. Sure, you think it is no big deal but when you can fill you home with music, even if it is not up to a true Audioholic’s exacting standards, you realize what you’ve been missing.”

“What has taken so long for the industry to create such a thing as a light speaker?”

“The all-new LightSpeaker is a unique and potentially game-changing device in the whole home audio market, as unlike similar contraptions, this one requires no external wiring or power. The device is designed to fit into normal 5- to 6-inch light recesses, which enables existing homeowners to easily retrofit these into their ceilings and walls. We were granted some hands-on time with the light, and put simply, you just screw it into a conventional fixture, dial up the desired zone on the bundled remote, and listen. A full-range driver sits just beneath the LED light, and it receives signals via a 2.4GHz base station that can be plugged into just about any source.”

“The klipsch LightSpeaker is the perfect fusion between modern sound system innovation, and modern architecture. This uniquely designed sound system requires no external wiring or power supply which potentially eliminates the need for intrusive home audio tech installers.

An ingenious fit for individuals that are not technically savvy, the aesthetically pleasing sound system is installed with a simple twist of the wrist, and can be fitted into any light socket in your home. Gotta love that. Oh ya, and it’s a light too.”
