Klipsch RP-8000F II Floor Standing Speakers in Ebony (pair)
Introducing the RP-8000F II
Stunning Floorstanding Speakers from Klipsch
Redesigned from the ground up, the all-new Reference Premiere series leverages over 70 years of Klipsch signature acoustic expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver the ultimate home theatre solution. Klipsch Reference Premiere Floorstanding Speakers produce cinematic sound from Cerametallic™ woofers and a Hybrid Tractrix® Horn.
They can fill your room with theatre-quality sound with minimal effort – immersing you in the ultimate listening experience. 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.
NEW HORN AND GRILLE
Klipsch redesigned the Tractrix® horn from a 60×90 horn to a 90×90 horn for a wider dispersion area. This square horn mouth is paired with a circular horn throat for enhanced soundstaging while maintaining the dynamic, powerful sound of a Klipsch speaker. Strong, flexible grilles magnetically detach, revealing a clean baffle. Unlike the Reference II series, the magnets have been embedded within the baffle for superior high-frequency diffraction reduction. A brushed polymer veneer adds a more modern aesthetic for the Reference Premiere series. The clean, seamless lines of these speakers allow them to be incorporated into any decor.
HYBRID TRACTRIX® HORN TECHNOLOGY
Klipsch's proprietary Tractrix® horn-loaded technology ensures the 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 clearest, most detailed, lifelike sound possible.
HORN ANATOMY
Klipsch Reference Premiere series speakers feature a compressed moulded silicon face that's mated to the 90×90 Tractrix horn to reduce horn resonance for a smoother frequency response. Klipsch computer-modelled phase plugs act 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 lightweight yet rigid composition exceeds the performance of aluminium, polymer or silk tweeters. Klipsch's 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 signature feature of the RP-8000F floorstanding speaker for both sound and aesthetics. This extremely light, rigid material holds its shape while being able to deliver lower frequencies with maximum efficiency.
WOOFER ANATOMY
Klipsch Cerametallic™ cones are mated 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.
FINISHED TO PERFECTION
The RP-8000F ebony and walnut finishes boast satin-painted baffles with a scratch-resistant design. The cast aluminium feet provide a modern look with less resonance than MDF or ABS plastic. It is mechanically designed to minimise surface area in contact with the floor, decoupling the speaker for faster, tighter low frequencies and more detail.
TRACTRIX PORTS
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. 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
The RP-8000F floorstanding speaker features dual input terminals so you can bi-wire or bi-amp your speakers for a custom, high-performance experience. 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.
FURNITURE-GRADE MATERIALS AND FINISHES
Finishes include ebony vinyl, walnut vinyl and piano gloss. Ebony and walnut models boast satin-painted baffles with a scratch-resistant finish, while the premium piano gloss cabinet is hand-sanded for a clear, mirror-like finish. The mirror-like piano gloss finish is seamless due to the meticulous hand-sanded and hand-polished process.
CAST ALUMINIUM FEET
Compared to MDF or ABS plastic, it offers a more contemporary appearance with reduced resonance. It is mechanically designed to minimise surface area in contact with the 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.
DRAMATIC DETAILS
Copper anodised trim rings, cast aluminium feet, satin-painted baffles and a laser-etched logo treatment give the Reference Premiere II series a modern, premium look.
