Fluance Signature HFF vs Klipsch Reference R-800F

Short answer: the Fluance Signature HFF, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #219 of 226 floorstanding speakers by sound quality, rated 2.4/5, at $799.99; the Klipsch Reference R-800F ranks #223, rated 1.9/5, and costs $899.98, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 226 floorstanding speakers, and the Revel Concerta2 F35, ranked #31 at $900, is a better place to start if sound quality matters.

The Fluance Signature HFF is the better-sounding option. The tower of Fluance’s Signature series: a 3-way with a 1” silk dome tweeter, a 5” woven glass fiber midrange and two 8” polypropylene woofers. The catch: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from the measured Fluance Signature HFS bookshelf, which had an uneven, colored response (a 2.92 Spinorama preference score).

Why pick the Klipsch Reference R-800F: Flagship tower in the Reference line featuring dual 8-inch spun-copper TCP woofers and a 1-inch aluminum LTS tweeter on an edge-to-edge 90x90 Tractrix horn. The catch: Substantial height (over 1 meter) and 54 lbs (24.5 kg) cabinet weight require significant room space.

Buy the Fluance Signature HFF. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Klipsch Reference R-800F and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.

About the ratings: neither speaker has been measured yet, so both ratings are estimated from measured siblings and predecessors (likely ranges: Fluance Signature HFF 2.0 to 2.8; Klipsch Reference R-800F 1.7 to 2.1). Treat this verdict as provisional.

Klipsch Reference R-800F: $899.98 per pair Passive Estimated Amazon eBay

Same family: the Klipsch Reference R-40M (smaller bookshelf, estimated 1.4/5), the Klipsch Reference R-50M (larger bookshelf, estimated 1.7/5), the Klipsch Reference R-600F (smaller floorstanding, ranked lower, estimated 1.8/5), the Klipsch Reference R-30C (smaller center, estimated 3.4/5) and the Klipsch Reference R-50C (larger center, estimated 3.5/5). See every Klipsch Reference generation.

Pros: Flagship tower in the Reference line featuring dual 8-inch spun-copper TCP woofers and a 1-inch aluminum LTS tweeter on an edge-to-edge 90x90 Tractrix horn. Exceptional sensitivity of 98dB (2.83V @ 1m) and 150W continuous / 600W peak power handling produce commanding dynamic output and bass impact down to a rated 34Hz (+/- 3dB). Includes hidden top Atmos integration wiring and rear-firing Tractrix port geometry for low air turbulence.

Cons: Substantial height (over 1 meter) and 24.5 kg cabinet weight require significant room space. Two-way design with large 8-inch drivers crossing over at 1400Hz exhibits narrowing directivity at the upper end of the woofer range. Standardized Klippel NFS Spinorama preference score measurements are pending.
