Klipsch RP-8000F

Adorama has these Klipsch speakers at a great price. Speakers were delivered fast and in perfect condition. We have purchased all of our speakers from them. Adorama rocks! These speakers sound excellent in our 2nd home theater system.

So great that sound fantastic even with cheaper audio amp in non-prepared room

Those are older generation, but I would take them any day over any other speakers in the price range. Adorama had them for the lowest price on market, in stock, with free delivery. So here we go. Initially I wanted a plain stereo no subwoofer for more balanced sound, and man that was a right decision ! Confident, toned bass, and clear yet mellow, perfectly positioned highs. The sound stage is huge, fills the whole ~800 sqft double height living room no effort. Keeping them further away from the walls made any DSP correction excessive, even in this room with rather complex geometry and no audio preparation. In fact, they sound so great that even powering them off a mediocre audio amplifier delivers a next level sound. Which in turn gives a lot of options to play with, without sacrificing audio quality. Discovering new sounds in the music I've been listening for for years, is a special pleasure. Although be warned, that all recording or compression issues may, and probably will, stand out. Happy listening everyone !

Who knew audio could be so sexy

The speakers are fantastic. They sound great and they look good doing it. These pair well with my Denon X 3800 H and my clips reference cinemas surround sound Atmos speakers.

RP-8000f + 2xSPL-150

This is the best speaker system in the world! The orchestra sounds so good that after each composition you want to stand up and applaud) And all this works on the TEAC-505, dear friends! ))

Great Speakers

After reading professional reviews about the quality of the Klipsch 8000F speakers, and an excellent sale price of $549 at Adorama, I ordered the speakers. These speakers are excellent, and compare to more expensive speakers in quality. Excellent bass without a subwoofer, as well as excellent high notes. I felt the ebony and piano black colors were too dominant and held out for the walnut color which is a softer color and blends well with my decor. Best to have two people unpack the speakers, but it can be done with one person if you are careful.

Incredible sound (bargain price is a bonus, not a factor)

I?m a vintage Klipsch (Heresy I, Forte II, KG-4) and JBL (L65,L112,L120) collector so wasn?t sure what to expect from these, but I?m very impressed and pleased. From Supertramp, Genesis, Yes, Rush to Glass Animals, Beck, and Broken Bells these are much more ?open? plus more crisp details than my others (& MartinL?s set on top). The Forte IIs seem more efficient and produce more of a wall of sound, but I prefer the more realistic soundstage of the RP-8000F?s. The family doesn?t really care, but they notice the differences too. My daughter loves Adele, and now I appreciate her vocals & songs on these speakers more too. As for bass, love deep strong bass, had ordered a R-12SWi but still haven?t hooked up after 3 weeks as these produce amazing, deep, clear bass. I didn?t pay attention to the ones that say a sub is not necessary, but they?re right. I?ll still add the sub for HT use and more deep bass, but definitely not necessary. Walnut finish is not textured, but understood at this price.

Great speakers

I?d been looking into getting these speakers for awhile but had to wait until I had the cash. Was looking into a b stock pair originally but finally caught a super deal here on Adorama. Caught a deal here through Slickdeals and couldn?t pass them up. Guess it helps that the new model was released but whatever. Hooked these speakers up and I love them. They go great with my 504c center channel as they should. Klipsch puts out some amazing speakers and I absolutely love them. Maybe one day I?ll upgrade again but these will last a long time I?m sure. I don?t think you?d be disappointed if you bought these to use in a good cinema or even for music.

Great speakers bundle at a great price!!

Absolutely love these Klipsch this bundle speakers!!! Speakers were shipped in all original packaging, speakers arrived in perfect condition!! The sound of these beautiful speakers are awesome!! The imaging is superb! The horns are crisp without being brash. The dual 8" woofers do a great job alone. These completed my 5.1 system. All paired together it simply kicks in every possible way!! It's all driven through a Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A2A which is more than capable of delivering the goods through the system. Everyone that has heard my new system are just blown away by the clean, clear sounds all the way through the volume levels. Once again I will say, do not hesitate to purchase "open box" speakers though these guys!!! Will definitely not be my last order and can't wait to get

Look good sound fantastic?!

I actually ended up with the Walnut finish. I think the ebony look a bit more authentic. The walnut look a tad like a sticker veneer. However they sound fantastic. I plugged them Into an existing Klipsch surround sound system powered with Harman Kardon receiver and it?s sounds fantastic powerful but clear and focused. All of the instruments are represented well through out the sonic spectrum. I?m not an audiophile persey, however info understand music and sonic properties. These speakers make me want to listen to music more and watch more movies, especially ones that are mixed well and have a strong emphasis on sound. Go get a pair you won?t regret it.

Pretty darn close.

I've had these about a month for home theater and also got the marantz sr 6015 which is a 9.2 channel av receiver along with 4 sa500 Dolby Atmos, a pair of rp502 surround and the rp404 center channel and the spl-150 subwoofer. Now I wouldn't say that they're perfect but they're pretty darn close. I'm really enjoying movies all over again.

High quality on a budget.

Nice, clear, bright full sound. Great value speakers for all purpose listening. Enjoying for both theater and music in an open floor plan home, and they really fill up the listening area! Doesn't require a lot of power as they are highly efficient.

Great speakers but No AVR

Excellent performance. But only disappointment was, the AVR which was part of system, it was never in stock, and it was not mentioned before ordering the item. After making the purchase it was in backorder and had to cancel the AVR and just took the system. But it affected overall budget as I had to buy AVR separately which was higher in cost.

Great sound quality, top of the line for Klipsch

Got this at over half off. Great sound quality, top of the line for Klipsch, and pretty decent even by audiophile rankings that compare brands like Bowers and Wilkins that can cost $6000 for a pair

Awesome large speakers

Sounds great so far but wish I had a working receiver that doesn?t buzz to really test it out. Wish I would have double checked the large size because now they are covering my screen in my setup.

Waiting on backordered receiver, speaker look and sound fantastic.

Still waiting on backordered receiver so I bought another in-stock model due to being impatient to test out the speakers. They are amazing. Wouldn't have done it any different if I could do it again.

Awesome Clarity

I have had it for two years 2 x RP8000 + 1 x RP404C + 2 x SPL120 + 2 x RP500SA + 2 x RP500M + 2 x RP502S for my 7.2.2 setup connected to Yamaha RX-A3080. The sound quality is simply awesome. The greatest improvement I have experienced over my previous Bose lifestyle is that I don't have to crank up the volume to get the effect. The clarity of sound even at low volumes is a treat. I love the setup and think that these speakers will last me 20 years especially with the build quality I got with my walnut finish.

Absolute beast

Wow is all I can say. The RP8000Fs are a beast. I have been using Klipsch for 3 years now and decided to upgrade from the reference series to the full Reference premiere series. These speakers and absolutely fantastic. The build quality and sound detail is out of this world. Absolutely fell in love with Klipsch. Worthy upgrade and such a step up. Would definitely recommend it.

Great deal

I paid $377 delivered, price wise, at 500, I was just about to order Elac?s when this went on sale, boy am I happy! These are as good as the YouTube reviewers say it is, I considered Elac, JBL, Triangle, KEF, and others, and from a value perspective, I think that this was a fantastic bang for the buck, and I?m glad to purchase my fourth and fifth for pair of Klipsch speakers, Epic CF3 v1, Epic CF3 v2, KG 5.2, and now, RP600M with two R-100SW?s, I?m over the moon with my new Klipsch?s!

Worth more than the asking price.

Really a fun speaker to own. I?ve owned other speakers costing multiple times the price of these that weren?t as much fun to listen to. They?re not perfect in every way, but they sound bigger than any other bookshelf speaker I?ve listened to lately. Highly recommended.

About Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-8000F Floorstanding Speaker, Ebony

FEATURED REVIEWS

I can't believe it, goose bumps feeling

By Mike

After hearing the Klipsch R51M from a friend, I decided to buy some. The Klipsch RP 600M looked good on me, but I hadn't heard them before I bought them. In my 16 square meter living room, they play as if there were no tomorrow. When I first heard "nothing else matters" from Mettalica, one thing was clear, I'm not giving them away anymore.

Phenomenal sound!

By Joshua D.

The sound that come out of these speakers , my God it's phenomenal. Every time I change genres from the collection, I am blown away all over again . From Steely Dan to Dr.Dre these things sound perfect.

The Klipsch RP-8000F floorstanding speaker delivers incredible cinematic sound by leveraging our proprietary Tractrix horn-loaded technology and dual 8" copper-spun Cerametallic woofers.

Hybrid Tractrix Horn Technology
Klipsch proprietary Tractrix horn loading technology ensures high-frequency energy of the RP-8000F floorstanding speaker is aimed directly at the listener and reduces unwanted, artificial reverb caused by indirect sound bouncing off walls - meaning you experience the most clear, detailed, lifelike sound possible.

Horn Anatomy
Klipsch Reference Premiere series speakers feature a compressed molded silicon face thats matted to the 90x90 Tractrix horn to reduces horn resonance for a smoother frequency response. Klipsch computer modeled phase plugs acts as a mechanical filter to further ensure a smooth, flat frequency response while protecting the tweeter from damage.

All-New Vented Tweeter
A vented tweeter design reduces standing waves behind the tweeter diaphragm for a smoother high frequency reproduction.

The titanium tweeter diaphragm's light weight yet rigid composition exceeds the performance of aluminum, polymer or silk tweeters.

Klipsch award-winning Linear Travel Suspension technology leverages a piston motion of the titanium diaphragm that lowers distortion and delivers real-to-life sound.

A ceramic magnet housing provides premium performance, Klipsch Reference Premiere tweeters set the standard in acoustic reproduction.

Cerametallic Woofers
Klipsch Proprietary Cerametallic woofers are the RP-8000F floorstanding speaker signature statement for both sound and aesthetics. This extremely light, rigid materials holds its shape while being able to deliver lower frequencies with maximum efficiency.

Woofer Anatomy
Klipsch Cerametallic cones are matted to a dual-layer, copper-wound voice coil for exceptional conductivity. Reference Premiere woofers are housed in a non-resonating, stamped-steel basket that's secured to a large magnet motor for exceptional efficiency and low distortion, and matched to our horn-loaded tweeters for optimal acoustic execution.

Tractrix Port + Dual Terminals
The rear Tractrix port is perfectly matched to the cabinet and woofers, creating ideal airflow with minimal distortion or turbulence even at the lowest frequencies.

Finished to Perfection
The RP-8000F ebony finish boast satin painted baffles with a scratch resistant design. The cast aluminum feet provides a modern look with less resonance than MDF or ABS plastic. It is mechanically designed to minimize surface area in contact with the floor, decoupling the speaker for faster, tighter low frequencies and more detail.

90 Degree x 90 Degree Silicon Composite Hybrid Tractrix Horn
Horn loading maximizes efficiently and increases detail while focusing high frequencies towards the listening area. Proprietary Tractrix geometry provides the most efficient transfer of high frequency waves into the listening area. The phase plug and compressed molded silicon face ensure smooth frequency response. When combined, the cleanest, most natural sound possible is created.

Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) Titanium Diaphragm Tweeter
The exclusive Linear Travel Suspension minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performance. LTS tweeters are a hallmark of previous Reference lines, making it a core component of some of the best speakers in the world.

Vented Tweeter Design
The new vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics, resulting in enhanced detail and clarity in high frequency reproduction.

Spun Copper Cerametallic Woofers
A signature feature on the Reference Premiere series, Cerametallic woofers are exceptionally rigid and lightweight for minimal distortion and maximum efficiency. When paired with the Tractrix horn-loaded LTS tweeter, it provides the highest speaker efficiency in its class.

Tractrix Ports
Utilizing Tractrix geometry, the Reference Premiere ports allow for the most efficient, fastest air transfer from the cabinet, which reduces port noise for punchier low frequencies. Klipsch Tractrix ports have custom designed inner flares that help reduce air turbulence entering the port. Less turbulent air helps reduce port noise for cleaner, more powerful bass.

Bi-Wiring / Bi-Amping Capability
Dual input terminals for bi-wiring / bi-amping capabilities. Bi-wiring separates high and low frequency current into separate speaker cables, reducing intermodulation distortion, for clearer midrange. Bi-amping allows for customization using outboard crossovers when using separate amplifiers.

Dramatic Details
Copper anodized trim rings, cast aluminum feet, satin painted baffles and a laser etched logo treatment give the Reference Premiere II series a modern, premium look.
