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.
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
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.
Can’t beat Klipsch
I would recommend this to a friend!

Upgraded from the RP 8000Fs ... but frustrated because the "In the Box" indicates that the "jumper" cables for my RP 500SA Dolby Atmos speakers. They were NOT in my box, so I had to make them. You should either include them, or remove that.
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.
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.
