Using Klipschorns with a Heresy center channel and two RP8000's as surround speakers. Very happy with the results!

I have had these speakers for a little over two weeks and they sound AMAZING!!! I knew there would be a little break-in time and some adjustments needed on my receiver to make them sound good. It didn't take long at all and I was really surprised at how crisp everything sounds with these speakers. Classical orchestra instruments and voices sound paricularly clear. I've had a pair of RF-35 speakers for a VERY long time that i really enjoyed and a pair of R-820F speakers for a little over a year and these have taken their rightful spot as the two mains up front.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the look and construction. Still dialing in the sound but so far the clarity improvement alone is outstanding and that was the main decision to finally spend some money on real speakers. Paired with the 500C II
The packaging was very good keeping the product nice and protected

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.

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

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

I can see why this speaker has such great feedback and why most people would like them. Probably in a much larger room they would be great, but for the size of my room they are just screamers at higher volume. To the point where the highs and midrange were painful. I guess I'm not a horn guy and prefer a silk dome tweeter. Top notch customer service though and no problem with returning them. Thanks.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
