RP-8000F II
The biggest and baddest in the Reference Premiere floorstanding speaker range, the RP-8000F II stands tall and undaunted by anything you can throw at it! Its imposing facade is matched only by the immersive experience it offers; iconic Tractrix horns fully immerse you in sound,. These floorstanders ensure a true to life experience - from the delicate nuanced sound of a musicians fingers on their guitar strings, to explosive fight scenes in your favourite action film.

The Next Generation of our iconic Reference Premiere series, the RP-8000F II Floorstander speakers, incorporate our recent development and advancements in the field, into the new series that offer the most capable and dynamic speakers from Klipsch ever seen at this price point before. Maintaining their prior success with the Silicone Tractrix Horn, and Cerametallic Woofers, these speakers not only keep the infamous aesthetic associated with legendary styling, but in addition, the powerful performance that is now undeniably known to belong to a Klipsch speaker.

90° X 90° SILICON COMPOSITE HYBRID TRACTRIX HORN

Horn loading maximises efficiency 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 moulded silicon face ensure smooth frequency response. When combined, the cleanest, most natural sound possible is created. The second generation increases horn size for a larger soundstage and enhanced directivity.

LINEAR TRAVEL SUSPENSION (LTS) TITANIUM DIAPHRAGM TWEETER

The exclusive Linear Travel Suspension minimises 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 vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics, resulting in enhanced detail and clarity in high frequency reproduction.

CERAMETALLIC WOOFERS – ALL NEW DESIGN

A signature feature on the Reference Premiere series, Cerametallic™ woofers are exceptionally rigid and lightweight for minimal distortion and maximum efficiency. New voice coils are 70% larger in diameter resulting in improved power handling and greater cone control for greater linearity and flawless reproduction. New aluminium shorting rings reduce distortion as well as increased power handling and the new motor structure improve transit response with more control with greater speed and accuracy.

TRACTRIX PORTS

Utilising 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 customisation using outboard crossovers when using separate amplifiers. 

ADVANCED CABINET DESIGN

Additional bracing and a divided cabinet have been added to minimise cabinet resonances and vibration, for the utmost transparency and clarity.

REFINED ATMOS CONNECTIONS

Upgrading to Dolby Atmos is extremely easy with the simple and hidden connections located on the back of the speakers. These refined connections reduce the amount of wire seen and hold them in place for better wire management.

NEW AND IMPROVED INPUT PANEL

Featuring audiophile-grade wire and easily accessible aluminium binding posts for any connection type.

FURNITURE GRADE MATERIALS AND FINISHES

Finishes include ebony vinyl and walnut vinyl that boast satin painted baffles with a scratch resistant finish. The cast aluminium feet provide a more modern look with less resonance than MDF or ABS plastic. They are mechanically designed to minimise surface area in contact with floor, decoupling the speaker for faster, tighter low frequencies and more detail.

The attractive grille attaches magnetically for an elegant transition from powerful showstopper to discrete performance piece and the runner bumpers of the previous generation have been replaced with Cork pads, for increased security on a stand or table.

  • Premium cerametallic woofer exhibits a very high stiffness-to-mass ratio and superb damping, resulting in a powerful, solid bass foundation
  • Bass-Reflex speaker cabinet via rear-firing port for clean and controlled bass
