Klipsch The One Plus Compact Premium Bluetooth Speaker System at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada

The One Plus is a compact bi-amplified 2.1 tabletop speaker system from Klipsch (Indianapolis, Indiana, USA), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Part of the Heritage Inspired line conceived by founder Paul W. Klipsch, it delivers 60 watts of bi-amplified power through two 2.25-inch full-range drivers and a 4.5-inch long-throw woofer supported by dual opposing passive radiators. With Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C connectivity, and Klipsch Broadcast Mode for multi-room audio, the One Plus packs a remarkable breadth of technology into an enclosure just 12.52 inches wide and 6 inches tall. Real wood veneer, a precision-machined metal volume wheel, and a smooth cloth grille make it one of the most refined-looking tabletop speakers in its class.

Heritage-Inspired Design in a Compact Footprint

Klipsch built the One Plus around the same mid-century modern aesthetic principles that define its flagship Heritage speaker range. The enclosure is finished in genuine real-wood veneer, available in Walnut or Matte Black, with rounded corners and a full-wrap cloth grille that conceals the driver array entirely. The top surface is intentionally minimal, featuring only a tactile metal volume wheel and an input selector button with a small LED indicator, keeping the visual profile clean and architectural. Weighing 7.94 lbs and measuring 12.52 x 6.1 x 6 inches, the One Plus sits comfortably on a kitchen counter, desktop, bookshelf, or side table without dominating the space. Independent reviewers at Stereo Guide noted the build quality stands apart from the sea of plastic alternatives, with the wood veneer and tactile controls giving it a premium, long-lasting character.

Klipsch Broadcast Mode and Multi-Room Audio

The One Plus features Klipsch Broadcast Mode, enabled by its Bluetooth 5.3 chipset, which allows the speaker to act as both a receiver and a transmitter simultaneously. A single One Plus can wirelessly broadcast audio to up to 10 compatible Klipsch speakers at once, including additional One Plus units, The Three Plus, Austin, Nashville, and Detroit models, creating a whole-home listening experience without a Wi-Fi hub or streaming subscription. Broadcast range reaches approximately 40 feet, and the receiving speakers cannot re-transmit the signal, so system range is determined by the primary unit's position. The Klipsch Connect App for iOS and Android provides a 3-band equalizer with five preset modes including Flat, Bass, Vocal, Treble, and Rock, alongside preset saving and firmware update access.

Key Features

• 60W Bi-Amplified 2.1 System: Separate amplifier channels power the full-range drivers and the 4.5-inch long-throw woofer independently, delivering audiophile-resolution clarity and controlled bass from a bass-reflex enclosure tuned to 55Hz.
• Bluetooth 5.3 with Broadcast Mode: Streams wirelessly up to 40 feet via SBC and AAC codecs, remembers up to 8 paired devices, and can broadcast audio simultaneously to up to 10 compatible Klipsch speakers for whole-home coverage.
• USB-C Connectivity and Reverse Charging: The USB-C port supports audio playback from smartphones, tablets, computers, and USB storage devices, and supplies reverse charging power to connected devices. Compatible with the WiiM Mini for network streaming expansion.
• 3.5mm Analog Auxiliary Input: A rear-panel 3.5mm miniplug input accepts analog sources including portable music players, laptops, and TVs without requiring Bluetooth pairing.
• Klipsch Connect App: Available for iOS and Android, the app provides 3-band EQ adjustment with five presets, preset storage, source labelling, and firmware update access for tailored sound at any listening level.
• Real-Wood Veneer Construction: The enclosure uses genuine wood veneer with tactile switches and a precision-machined metal volume wheel, drawing directly from the Heritage Inspired design language established by Paul W. Klipsch.
• Dual Opposing Passive Radiators: Two 4.5-inch passive radiators mounted on the side panels extend low-frequency output and improve bass articulation without increasing the external dimensions of the enclosure.
• Compact All-Day Placement: At 12.52 x 6.1 x 6 inches and 7.94 lbs, the One Plus fits virtually anywhere in the home and is available in Walnut and Matte Black finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Klipsch The One Plus?

The Klipsch One Plus is a 60-watt bi-amplified 2.1 compact tabletop speaker system with Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C connectivity, and Klipsch Broadcast Mode multi-room audio. It is part of Klipsch's Heritage Inspired line, designed in Indianapolis, Indiana, and tuned by Klipsch acousticians to deliver a frequency response from 55Hz to 20kHz at up to 103dB maximum output. Two 2.25-inch full-range drivers and a 4.5-inch long-throw woofer, supported by dual opposing passive radiators, produce controlled, natural-sounding audio from an enclosure just 12.52 inches wide.

How does the Klipsch One Plus compare to the Sonos Era 100 or Marshall Stanmore III?

The Klipsch One Plus offers a distinct combination of features that separates it from both the Sonos Era 100 and Marshall Stanmore III. The Sonos Era 100 provides deeper Wi-Fi streaming integration with services like Tidal Connect and Apple AirPlay 2, but lacks the One Plus's USB-C audio playback and Broadcast Mode multi-room capability without a subscription ecosystem. The Marshall Stanmore III delivers a similarly bold aesthetic and Bluetooth connectivity but does not support USB-C audio output or the ability to broadcast to additional speakers. The One Plus's real-wood veneer construction, bi-amplified 60-watt driver configuration, and Klipsch Connect App EQ customisation give it a technical and build-quality edge over both at a comparable size and price point.

Can the Klipsch One Plus power a WiiM Mini for network streaming?

Yes. The USB-C port on the One Plus delivers enough power to run a WiiM Mini network streaming bridge directly, without a separate power adapter. This allows the One Plus to access Tidal, Spotify, Apple Music, Qobuz, and internet radio via the WiiM platform, adding full network streaming capability to the speaker without replacing its Bluetooth or analog inputs. The WiiM Mini connects to the One Plus via the USB-C port for both power and audio output in a single cable.

What is Klipsch Broadcast Mode?

Klipsch Broadcast Mode is a wireless multi-room feature built into the Bluetooth 5.3 chipset of the One Plus. When activated, the primary One Plus transmits audio to up to 10 compatible Klipsch speakers simultaneously, including additional One Plus units, The Three Plus, Austin, Nashville, and Detroit models, within a range of approximately 40 feet. The broadcast signal is mono, and only the primary speaker transmits. No Wi-Fi network, hub device, or subscription is required, making it a straightforward and cost-effective alternative to full streaming ecosystems.

Does the Klipsch One Plus work without the app?

Yes. The One Plus functions fully without the Klipsch Connect App, using the top-panel input button and volume wheel for source selection and level control. The app is optional but adds meaningful capabilities including 3-band EQ adjustment, five sound presets, preset storage, and access to firmware updates. Users who prefer app-free operation can control all core functions directly on the speaker and from their Bluetooth source device.

Where can I buy the Klipsch One Plus in Toronto or Canada?

The Klipsch One Plus is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised Klipsch dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full Heritage Inspired tabletop speaker range and can advise on pairing the One Plus with other Broadcast Mode-compatible Klipsch speakers for multi-room setups. Customers across Canada can also order through Vinyl Sound's online store with shipping available nationally.

How many Bluetooth devices can the Klipsch One Plus remember?

The One Plus stores up to 8 previously paired Bluetooth devices in its internal memory. Switching between paired devices is done from the source device's Bluetooth settings menu, making it easy for multiple household members to connect in turn without repeating the pairing process. Initial pairing is completed by pressing and holding the input button on the rear panel until the LED indicator confirms pairing mode is active.

Is the Klipsch One Plus the same as the older Klipsch The One?

No. The One Plus is a newer and more capable model than the original Klipsch The One. Key upgrades include Bluetooth 5.3 replacing an older Bluetooth standard, the addition of a USB-C port for audio playback and reverse charging, Klipsch Broadcast Mode for multi-room audio, and compatibility with the Klipsch Connect App for EQ control and firmware updates. The bi-amplified 2.1 driver configuration and Heritage Inspired design language are carried over, but the One Plus represents a significant connectivity and feature upgrade over its predecessor.
