Just an update – we were finally able to remove the older Klipsch from the wall without causing any damage. Thanks for the help!
Slide a playing card or a thin putty knife along the wall to locate two screws with keyholes on the speaker’s back.
Look it up on Google to find instructions on its installation, which will help you in removing it.
Move the object either left or right, then move it upwards, and finally push it forward.
You could try sliding it horizontally, just about 1/2 inch on each side?
It may not be the exact same soundbar… but probably a similar installation… try giving it a slight nudge and wiggle upwards
Could you find the model number first, then search for it to check the installation instructions?
You might find it on the BACK of the unit…
Hey , I was wondering if you still have the instructions. It seems like Klipsch uses a clip system.
When we moved into our current house, the mount was already there. I believe it’s been up for quite some time and seems to be stuck. It looks like there are two keyholes, but I just can’t get it to move.
Hey there, I’m curious about what model it is.
Perhaps mounted on a bracket with holes. Gently raise 1/2″ and remove from the wall. Just a possibility.
Snap a photo, use Google image search to identify the model, and then locate the installation guidelines.
Use both hands to grasp it firmly and lift directly upwards.
My clock is also hung up on the wall the same way. I was going to recommend that as well
It’s not moving! It seems like it’s been up there for a while, really stuck. It was already there when we moved in
The screws and anchors are placed in the wall before sliding the unit down onto them. Remember to nudge it gently from below.
To remove the sound bar, place a block of wood to protect the mantle and then use a pry bar to lift it upwards. It should slide off easily. You can also try working from side to side if necessary.
The plastic might be stuck to the paint on the wall, especially since it’s a medium gloss paint. My Klipsch sound bar has two keyhole slots. I suggest gently moving it around to ensure it’s not stuck to the paint before lifting it up and out.
This seems to be a Klipsch Gallery flat speaker, not a sound bar, although it may not be this exact model.

As per the install manual, you need to push it up by 5/16 inches.
I wonder, which model did it turn out to be?
I believe it was the one mentioned below, that you provided the link to. If not, it’s very close
Awesome! I’m happy you were able to figure it out 😃
