La-Z-Boy has launched AudioLuxe, a new furniture line featuring built-in Klipsch speakers integrated into recliners and sofas. The audio systems deliver crystal clear tones and deep bass through headrest speakers and subwoofers hidden in the furniture base.

The AudioLuxe collection marks La-Z-Boy's entry into audio-enhanced furniture. Each piece includes Klipsch speakers positioned in the headrest for direct sound delivery and a subwoofer concealed in the base for low-frequency response. The furniture supports two usage modes: as part of a larger surround sound setup or wirelessly connected to smartphones and tablets for standalone listening. This flexibility allows customers to integrate the pieces into existing home theater systems or use them independently for music and video streaming. Klipsch, known for speaker manufacturing, collaborated with La-Z-Boy on the audio integration. The partnership combines La-Z-Boy's furniture expertise with Klipsch's acoustic technology. Pricing and configuration details were not immediately disclosed. The AudioLuxe line represents an emerging trend of smart furniture that combines comfort with embedded electronics.
