Utilizing dual 8" copper-spun IMG woofers and a 1" aluminum diaphragm-compression LTS tweeter, this Klipsch Reference R-28F floorstanding speaker creates a crystal-clear cross-spectrum soundscape.

Klipsch new reference speaker
on August 15, 2014
Posted by: KingGodzilla
from Los Angeles, CA
I auditioned the R-28F when I dropped by BB last week. I can confirm the point of the other reviewer that the new R-28F sounds smoother and pleasant to my ears than the RF-82 II, in my opinion.
Despite both speakers use the same 1” compression driver; Klipsch has raised the crossover frequency of the R-28F from 1400hz of the RF-82 II to 1800hz. As a result, more of the mid frequency of the R-28F is now handled by the dual 8” woofers making it sound more balanced and smooth than the RF-82 II. I am glad that Klipsch has taken a step in the right direction. When I compared the R-28F with the Pioneer SP-SF52 right next to it, I found the Pioneer sound very good but boxy and constrained. It is a common problem with most box speakers and that is why open baffle and planar speakers sound so open and real. I really hope that Klipsch will come up with a new dual diaphragm compression driver like the JBL D2 in its upper tier speakers in the future.
Considering the price and sq of the R-28F, I highly recommend it to anyone who cares about music and value.
What's great about it: Price, open and intimate sound.
What's not so great: Nothing at this price range.
I would recommend this to a friend!
