An audio highlight of the recent CES 2024, a show that has largely migrated away from being a launchpad for the best speakers but now seems to be returning to form, was the Klipsch suite at an off-site hotel where the company demonstrated its new Flexus soundbar system. Klipsch is no stranger to soundbars, having produced many high-end models for its Cinema series, but its latest series is a considerably more budget-friendly option, with the flagship Flexus Core 200 topping out at $499.
In my CES show coverage I wrote about the Flexus series, which consists of two soundbar options, wireless surround speakers, and a wireless subwoofer. The series is now available in the US, with an international launch planned for later this year. A great thing about Flexus is that you can start with just the soundbar alone and add the sub and surrounds later as your needs and budget expand. That modular concept is similar to the approach taken by Sonos and Bose, both of which offer a range of wireless surround speakers and subwoofers to complement their soundbar offerings.
