Klipsch and Onkyo Partnership Strengthening

Onkyo has announced that a newly released firmware update for selected AV Receivers delivers a new "Klipsch Optimized Mode".
Starting with the Onkyo TX-NR696 AV Receiver, the firmware update allows consumers to enable the feature that will "create a sound field setting that matches the design concept of the Klipsch brand Reference Series speakers." Klipsch Optimized Mode is said to be the result of a joint study between Klipsch and Onkyo.
Onkyo adds that Klipsch Optimized Mode will be added to future Onkyo AV receivers coming later this year and will be available as an update when new Klipsch Reference Series products are released.
Onkyo added:
We will continue to strengthen our relationship with Klipsch to provide the "best entertainment at home" that AV receivers can offer.
It has been widely reported that Klipsch's parent company, Voxx International, is in the final stages of acquiring Japanese consumer electronics manufacturer Onkyo Corporation, responsible for the production of Onkyo, Pioneer and Integra brands.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
