Sound great but wish I'd order dual 8"s for more midrange and sound to make up for the powered sub. Still real nice though.

Summary and Impressions:
The Klipsch RF 6000F II Floor standing speakers are well built, attractive, and sonically sound. Although to achieve their highest potential it requires careful attention to gear selection and the proper room environment. It sounded significantly better when driven at 200W added amplification compared to 105W from receiver only. The sound improved when I added more carpeting in the room and wall dampening foam board. Additionally, speaker placement and vertical tilt improved my listening experience.
I listened to variety of musical genres for specific tacks and songs I’m familiar to.
I listened for female and male vocals. Rhythmic drums and guitar riffs in rock and roll tracks. I also listened to Dance/R&B music which have superior recording with clear and detailed tracks.
I’ve listened to the above playlist on numerous floor standing, bookshelf, and receiver/amplification combinations over the years and know well to listen to different subtleties in each playback experience.

Sonic Signature with only Denon 3600H:
At 105W x 2 channel showed the RP 6000F II shortcomings when paired with lower watt receivers and amps. Although they are rated above 90 sensitivity, they only come alive at higher quality and quantity watt amps paired with a warmer signature PreAmp/Processor/Receiver unlike the dryer Denon natural sound signature.
Highs: the upper octave is more pronounced, and the middle and bottom are lacking
Mids: Low mids is more pronounced but lacking in the middle and upper chest hitting drum rhythmics
Bass: The most low end bass is lacking but good mid to upper bass
Mids: Low mids is more pronounced but lacking in the middle and upper chest hitting drum rhythmics
Bass: The most low end bass is lacking but good mid to upper bass
Sonic Signature with Emotiva external amp attached to the only 3600H:
Driven at above 200W with my higher quality and double the wattage the RP 6000F II instantly becomes more authoritative and mature sounding bringing the room alive. All the absent gaps in the highs, mids, and bass are filled in sounding complete to compete with any audio playback thrown at it.
Highs: The middle and bottom octaves are filled in to better match naturally pronounced upper octaves
Mids: Upper mids improves to match low mids that’s naturally pronounced but still lacks a bit in the middle chest hitting drum rhythmics
Bass: The upper and middle bass tightened up and are more authoritative. The most low end bass is better but still lacking given its only a six inch woofer with dual rear ports.
Mids: Upper mids improves to match low mids that’s naturally pronounced but still lacks a bit in the middle chest hitting drum rhythmics
Bass: The upper and middle bass tightened up and are more authoritative. The most low end bass is better but still lacking given its only a six inch woofer with dual rear ports.
Imaging:
The most surprising thing was how sensitive the speakers are to tow in placement, room insulation environment, and vertical off axis imaging. Standing versus sitting greatly improved how much bass is available to feel and listen while walking and standing. The speakers are naturally tilted up which explains it. The horn tweeter imaged vertical and horizontally very well and a lot better than I’m used to from previous horn loaded tweeter of similar size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! Talk about an amazing experience! Two weeks of using these speakers and I just cant get enough. I have never heard music and movies as clear, crisp as I do now. The Klipsch RP 6000F speaker is perfect for anyone who enjoys true in-depth sound! These speakers are truly immersive and make you feel like you sitting in the front row of a concert or theater. The speakers are about 40 inches or so tall, are beautifully designed. I would highly recommend these speakers. You will not be disappointed!

AMAZING sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Can I tell you how excited I was for these speakers? I have been browsing for a good speaker set for when I watch movies. Klipsch RP-6000F II speakers have outdone my expectations. Not only do the speakers sound amazing, they make it feel like I am in the movie! THAT right there was what I was looking for. The set up was extremely easy with a couple wire connections. The feet have rubber bottoms so I do not have to worry about damaging my floor. The front screen is magnetic and snaps right on and off with a breeze when needed. They are thin and I had the perfect space for them right next to my TV stand. You have outdone my expectations Klipsch - keep it going!

Excellent Product, quality, fits very nicely in with our 2 Klipsch M50 bookshelf speakers. Sounds great. We have also coupled it with a Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary turntable and a Sony CD-C600 disc changer, Emotiva pre-amp and amp for a tremendous full sound. Nicely done

Great speakers!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The RP-6000F II speakers are the best, high end, clear, crisp sound. Each speaker comes with two 6.5in. speakers and a titanium tweeter. Pairing mine with a subwoofer to give the base even more thump. Easy to install and you can even add more speakers to make it won't complete set up. I love how it comes with magnetic covers to keep your speakers clean and damage free. Highly recommend.

Great sound!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To round off a newly installed surround sound system, dual standing floor speakers were added to the mix. These towers are exactly what you are looking for if you are wanting to book end an entertainment center with rich, immersive sound. These speakers are heavy so make sure you properly move them into their correct positions and make sure to have ample speaker wire at your disposal too as these speakers to not come with any provided. There is even a handy built in cord clip on these speakers to assure a tidy presentation and that the cords don't get messy. The rose gold speaker accent colors are great, and match other speakers in this line to assure a seamlessly visual experience. Hooking up will be a breeze assuming your receiver has the correct markings for each channel to align to. The sound of these speakers is amazing, just like the other speakers in this line, the sound is crisp, responsive and loud (if needed).
If you are looking for a great experience I would recommend this line of speakers to provide a top tier audio experience. When paired with a good receiver this set up is sure to open the eyes of those who are on the hunt for a great pair of floorstanding speakers!
