While most Bluetooth speakers are >$300 affairs, Klipsch is going for a much higher-end customer with the $2,000 Stadium. (The company showed a prototype of it at last year's CES.) That's a real horn-loaded titanium tweeter; the other horns are for the dual 3.5-inch woofers and their ports. If you look toward the bottom, you can see that the two speakers are actually joined together on a single plate. Klipsch claims response of 26 Hz to 24 kHz, +/-3 dB, and I can confirm from the demo I got that the Stadium plays loud as all hell and has tons of tight, well-defined bass. For added convenience, the Stadium features wireless streaming through Bluetooth, AirPlay, and DLNA.
Klipsch also showed the $399 KMC3, a Bluetooth speaker powered by eight D-cells. The advantage is that when the battery runs down, you can always stop by the 7-Eleven and buy more. Inside are a 5.25-inch woofer and dual 2-inch mid/tweets.

a pity they didn't manage to fit in the FoxL right inside this enclosure and add a battery for a real funky portable speaker system.
the FoxLo is really tempting, but i doubt i would ever have any use for it.
