Do The Fives need an amplifier or receiver?

No. The amplifier is built in, so you connect sources directly. You only need power and speaker cable between the two cabinets.

Can I connect a TV and a turntable at the same time?

Yes. HDMI ARC takes the TV, and the built-in phono input takes a turntable. You switch between inputs with the remote or the top-panel dial.

Do they have a subwoofer output?

Yes. A subwoofer output lets you add a powered sub for deeper bass, which the 4.5-inch woofers cannot deliver alone.

Do The Fives support Wi-Fi streaming or an app?

No. Wireless is Bluetooth only, with no Wi-Fi, AirPlay or app-based EQ. Wired inputs cover HDMI, optical, USB, RCA and aux.

Are they good for a small room or desk?

Yes. The compact cabinets and built-in amp suit a desk or small room. In a large room, expect to add a subwoofer.

Our take on the Klipsch The Fives Powered Bookshelf Speakers

The Fives are Klipsch's powered bookshelf speakers, a two-way pair with a built-in amplifier, so no receiver is needed. They stand out for broad connectivity: HDMI ARC for a TV, optical, USB, RCA, aux and Bluetooth, plus a moving-magnet phono input for a turntable. A horn-loaded tweeter and 4.5-inch woofer give the lively, forward Klipsch sound. They are a compact all-in-one system for a desk, a small room or a TV setup.
