I have had these speakers now for almost a month. I am slowly building my personal theater set up and these speakers are phenomenal. Great range, clarity and super clean. I have these as my fronts, the rp 504c-II for my center, 2 r-51 m bookshelves as side surrounds and an r-120sw sub. Running them through a denon avr-s540bt receiver. As my initial set up it has been amazing for movies, music and gaming. I can't wait to build on to this system. I want to go with a 9.2.4 set up adding 2 rear surrounds and 4 atmos speakers with another 12 inch sub to wrap it all up for my space. I also plan on adding some external amplifiers to give these speakers their full potential range. Thank you klipsch for what you offer and I will be a customer for life.
I had the Klipsch reference cinema series 5.1.4 system and was looking for something that provided a little more punch. So, I decided to upgrade my front speakers and I elected these bad boys for the fronts. When I made the purchase I was a little worried they wouldn't be worth the investment but the very first song I listened to with these things instantly squashed that worry. I'm using the built in bi-amping option on my Pioneer A/V receiver to power these monsters with two channels of juice and wow do they slap. They don't need a sub in my opinion. For movie watching, absolutely get a sub, but for stereo music these things stand alone like champions.
Although it may not be a fair comparison, these speakers replaced my Klipsch R51s as my main fronts. Needless to say these speakers are phenomenal! The frequency response, clarity, presence, accuracy, separation, and efficiency are unmatched. I am listening to music and movies as if it is the first time I've heard them. The ability of these speakers to reproduce the nuances of music is in actuality unheard of before. Even my non audiophile friends appreciate the masterful sound. Beyond a worthwhile upgrade and HIGHLY recommended for any discerning listener.
I upgraded my home theater. I added 2 RP-8000F II speaker for the front. I added 2 RP500ASII Altmos on top of the RP-8000F'S , then a RP504CII center speaker and 2 RP8060FA's with Altmos for the rears. I got a new Marantz Cinema 50 AVR. The system sounds fantastic.
