Great set of speakers

I am writing this review after 10 months of owning these speakers, which are driven by Yamaha R-N1000. I can believe that they are still improving and getting better. The sound is so real that even my dog noticed it, since I have them, he thinks there is something in the house and not realising it's coming from the speaker itself, as he was used to the sound before I had these. And no, I don't need a subwoofer with them. From the first time I used them, I have kept lowering the bass from the amp, as it is still getting better. I'm glad I made an extra effort financially to buy the RP-8000F II
Absolutely phenomenal! I would have never imagined that these speakers would or could sound this amazing considering some of the reviews I’ve read over the years. I have read so many comments that have labeled Klipsch speakers as fatiguing or playing shrill in the upper register, as well as they don’t have enough bass. This is the first pair I have owned and I can attest to the fact that they call my name whenever I am home. I love listening to music on these babies! I am so impressed with how good they sound playing every genre of music I have thrown at them. Mine are 30 inches from the front of the speaker to the front wall, with just a little tow-in. They are 80 inches from cone to cone, and I can hear every bit of information my Marantz PM8006, NA6006, CD6007, Pioneer PD-F805 and Pioneer CT-770 can deliver to them. One day in the near future I will be going up to the RF line! In fact, if you have an old pair you would like to donate, I am receptive.
Great speakers What RP600 II do better: imaging (instruments placement very precise but at the same time tends to mix all instruments center), center image very very strong, with smaller horn treeble more forward, female voices, violin are to die for, What RP8000 II do better: even more like a concert, Hollowgraphic with the widder tractrix horn, better integration bass, midds and treeble A better Soundstage way widder and bigger but not really deeper, seperates instruments like paning meant to (so way easier to distinguish each one and follow one instrument in the mix), bass is quick and precise : has the initial snap, the slam like no other speakers but not the rumble behind, very good at all level volume listening (low volume very very good) Integrating a sub, has to have that initial slam, this quickness, or you’ll lose that punch Maybe the RP line lacks details but the liveliness and delicacy in treeble are the strongs points I love my RP8000 II, everyday is a concert at home Thanks to Klipsch
Night and day from my old powered Klipsch Reference R-28PF. Besides old setup amp took a crap n got discounted code to get rp-8000f ll. Onsale for 500 n used code n pay 640 for the new pairs.
I have been a Klipsch fan my whole life and have been waiting for the day I was able to upgrade to a new system. We went from an LG sound bar for the TV and a set of Bose table top speakers for our turn table both with small subwoofers to two RP-800F IIs and an R-121SW . The sound clarity and frequency range is very noticeable, I love that the subwoofer only has to manage the ultra low frequencies.
