Their impactful, dynamic sound makes listening to albums and film soundtracks an exciting, involving experience. The beefy RP-8000F II is the largest direct-firing tower speaker in Klipsch's newly updated RP lineup, and it packs a hefty punch. It features dual 8" woofers for punchy bass and midrange, and a 1" horn-loaded tweeter for clear highs. Upgraded tweeter and horn The 1" LTS (Linear Travel Suspension) tweeter features a vented housing to reduce standing waves that can compromise sound quality. The hallmark Tractrix® horn it's housed in has a widened mouth for better soundstaging and directivity. That means a wider "sweet spot" overall and better imaging within that sweet spot. The horn also sports a soft silicone face and a unique phase plug to keep the highs smooth and non-fatiguing. Under-the-hood driver upgrades Metallic drivers aren't anything new for Klipsch speakers, but the company has made significant improvements to the motor structures behind the cones. Each woofer has a 70% larger voice coil for greater control, speed, and accuracy. The woofers also have new aluminum shorting rings that help reduce distortion and let the drivers handle some extra power. A new cabinet for better sound Klipsch also upgraded the RP-8000F II's cabinet. This go-around, they added additional bracing throughout and divided the cabinet into sections. That helps to reduce sound-altering cabinet resonance and vibration and improves clarity. The cabinet has two rear-firing Tractrix ports that help deepen the speaker's bass response. Their unique horn shape promotes more efficient airflow in and out of the cabinet, minimizing port noise and low-frequency distortion. Since this speaker uses a ported cabinet, you don't want to place it up against a wall. Instead, I recommend giving the speaker some "breathing room" by pulling it away from your wall a little. Its bass response will thank you. Bi-amp or bi-wire for even better sound There are two sets of binding posts on the back of the RP-8000F II. These let you bi-amp or bi-wire your speaker to get the best sound out of it. Got wire? The RP-8000F II doesn't include any speaker wire. Read our article about choosing and installing speaker wire.
