90° x 90° 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. 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 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 vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics, resulting in enhanced detail and clarity in high frequency reproduction.
Cerametallic Woofers
A signature feature on the Reference Premiere series, Cerametallic woofers are exceptionally rigid and lightweight for minimal distortion and maximum efficiency. Aluminum shorting rings reduce distortion as well as increased power handling and the motor structure improve transit response with more control with greater speed and accuracy.
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.
Advanced Cabinet Design
Additional bracing and a divided cabinet have been added to minimize 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.
Input Panel
Featuring audiophile-grade wire and easily accessible aluminum 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.
Cast Aluminum Feet
Provides a more modern look with less resonance than MDF or ABS plastic. It is mechanically designed to minimize surface area in contact with floor, decoupling the speaker for faster, tighter low frequencies and more detail.
Strong, Flexible, Removable Grille
Attaches magnetically for an elegant transition from powerful showstopper to discrete performance piece.

Great sound and build quality.

These speakers are definitely quality made. Clean sound and great bass. Great clean yet moderately bassy sound. Should have bought a pair sooner!!!
We are satisfied with the purchase, we recommend it to everyone.

The rp 8000f ii ebony has special qualities expressed in smooth operation and first class service. After purchasing the Klipsch rp 8000f ii ebony, I feel that it is the best thing in the category of Floorstanding Acoustics. I am also obliged to mention that I have been using the Klipsch rp 8000f ii ebony for quite some time now and for quite a bit of diligent use over such a period of time, it has shown itself only from a luxurious side. I've recommended it to everyone I know, and now I'm recommending it to you! Everything is perfectly equipped and there is an instruction manual.
Sound quality and value for money
No
Just purchased a pair of these speakers for my living room stereo system.
These speakers are rated for 8 ohm loads, so they shouldn't be too difficult for most amps. Maybe the separation of high and low frequencies, results in less interference in the wires.
The bass in these speakers is very strong. Honestly, for 80% of music, you don't need a subwoofer. Most of the time you can get by with just a little bass boost in the amp. The sub came in handy when listening to Massive Attack and other electronic bands, and when watching movies with earth-shaking explosions and such. However, for listening to music, a subwoofer is not crucial.
I am very happy with these speakers. I've practically lived in front of them since I got them, and look forward to having a lot more listening time.
Paul W. Klipsch believed four principles to be the foundation for great sound. They continue to drive the design of every new Klipsch speaker, today and tomorrow: High Efficiency / Low Distortion Klipsch horn technology is highly efficient, providing more accurate sound with less power and less distortion – resulting in louder, cleaner audio. Klipsch’s Law: Efficiency is inversely proportional to distortion. Controlled Directivity Klipsch horn technology accurately directs sound to the proper locations, which, in turn, creates a more lifelike soundstage without wasting acoustic energy where sound is not needed or desired. Wide Dynamic Range The softest sounds are reproduced with remarkable clarity and the loudest sounds are delivered without harshness or distortion – with the greatest possible range between the softest and loudest sounds. Flat Frequency Response Audio is delivered without frequency bias – no unnatural highs, mids or lows – reproducing recorded sound as accurately as possible without colorization.
