Klipsch RP-8000F II in Ebony — Flagship Reference Premiere Performance
The Klipsch RP-8000F II is the flagship floorstanding speaker in Klipsch’s Reference Premiere lineup, and the Ebony finish gives it a clean, low-profile look that disappears into almost any room. Designed for powerful stereo listening and immersive home theater systems, the RP-8000F II delivers deep, controlled bass, dynamic midrange detail, and exceptionally clear highs.
Antonio’s Pick
“The Ebony RP-8000F II is usually the pair I steer home theater builds toward — it sits quietly at the front of a room until you turn it on, and then it doesn’t hold back. If you’re debating Ebony versus Walnut, it usually comes down to whether you want the speaker to blend in or stand out. Come hear both side by side in our Ottawa showroom before you decide.” — Antonio Romeo, Owner, CapitalSound.ca
High-Efficiency, Room-Filling Sound
With 98 dB sensitivity and dual 8-inch Cerametallic woofers, the RP-8000F II produces commanding output with remarkable efficiency. Whether paired with a high-current AV receiver or a dedicated stereo amplifier, these tower speakers deliver impactful bass and effortless dynamics even at lower power levels.
The 1" titanium LTS tweeter is housed inside Klipsch’s updated Tractrix® horn with a widened mouth and improved geometry. This enhances imaging precision, expands the sweet spot, and reduces listening fatigue.
Upgraded Drivers & Motor Structures
The RP-8000F II improves on the original RP-8000F with redesigned motor structures and 70% larger voice coils for better control and lower distortion. Aluminum shorting rings (Faraday rings) reduce distortion under high output, resulting in tighter bass and improved midrange clarity.
Enhanced Cabinet Design
Klipsch reinforced and internally divided the cabinet to reduce resonance and vibration. Dual rear Tractrix® ports increase airflow efficiency, minimizing port noise while extending low-frequency performance. For best results, position the RP-8000F II a few inches away from the rear wall to give the ports room to breathe.
RP-8000F II vs. the Original RP-8000F
The second-generation RP-8000F II features an improved crossover, upgraded driver motor systems, better cabinet bracing, and refined horn geometry compared to the original model — resulting in cleaner mids, smoother highs, and tighter bass.
Ideal for Stereo & Home Theater Systems
The Klipsch RP-8000F II excels as a front-channel speaker in a home theater setup or as the main towers in a high-performance stereo system. Pair them with matching Klipsch Reference Premiere center and surround speakers for a seamless soundstage.
