Pros: A very easy to drive tower with twin 8 inch woofers that stays clean and composed at high home theater volumes. Highest sensitivity of the RP II floorstander line (~92dB measured) and the best dynamics/compression behavior of the three under load: the cleanest at high output. Dual 8-inch woofers and the highest power handling in the line. Measured bass extension of 67Hz (-3dB), with a measured sensitivity of 92dB.

Cons: Mid-bass sounds lean despite the dual 8-inch woofers, and bass extension disappointed for its size: expected to reach 50Hz, didn’t get there in-room. Has its own edgy upper-mid bump (2-6kHz) that’s harder to EQ out than the other two models’ issues, since it stems from the vertical horn/woofer offset rather than simple tonal balance. The most placement-critical of the three, with the narrowest horizontal (~40-50 degrees) and vertical (+5/-10 degrees) dispersion.

Is the Klipsch RP-8000F II right for you?

Buy it if

  • you have a modest amplifier (92 dB sensitivity is easy to drive).

Skip it if

  • you need to move it often (28 kg each).
  • you want the best value: the higher-rated Revel Concerta2 F35 costs about $199 less.
