Klipsch RP-8060FA II Speakers
Take your home theatre experience to another level entirely with the Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-8060FA II floor-standing speakers. The Reference Premiere Series builds on the acoustics and technologies of Klipsch's classic Reference Series, with important enhancements that provide an even more intense listening experience.
These powerful floor-standing models boast dual forward facing 203mm (8") woofers for thunderous bass and warm, clear mids, plus Klipsch's signature 25mm (1") titanium dome horn loaded tweeter for crisp, extended, highs. They also have a 2-way upward facing Dolby Atmos speaker built-in that has a 165mm (6.5") woofer and a 25mm (1") titanium dome horn loaded tweeter.
Klipsch makes its cones out of specially treated aluminium that's strong yet lightweight to dampen and prevent distortion. With the Reference Premiere Series, Klipsch also gave these woofers a newly developed titanium voice coil former that allows more linear movement for enhanced efficiency, lower distortion, and extended low frequency response. Look around the back, and you'll see that instead of the conventional round port tube found on many speakers, Klipsch uses a Tractrix horn-shaped opening for smoother, more efficient airflow in and out of the cabinet. The resulting decrease in air turbulence makes for cleaner, more powerful bass with reduced port noise and low-frequency distortion. They can handle up to 150 Watts RMS and 600 Watts of peak power.
Take Your Movies & Music To New Heights: Klipsch's proprietary speaker technologies are ideal for delivering the most immersive, impactful 360° Dolby Atmos® listening experience. Controlled directivity and high-performance ensure focus and precise aiming of high frequency energy.
Built-In Elevation Speaker: The RP-8060FA II full-range tower speakers features a high-performance 6.5" (165mm) 2-way up-firing Dolby Atmos speaker integrated in the top for an awe-inspiring, encompassing experience. It's a perfectly matched set up that virtually disappears. The integrated speaker terminals are placed low on the cabinet for convenience and an unobtrusive connection.
90° X 90° Silicon Composite Hybrid Tractrix Horn: Horn loading maximizes efficiently and increases detail while focusing high frequencies towards the listening area. Proprietary Tractrix® geometry provides the most efficient transfer of high frequency waves into the listening area. The phase plug and compressed moulded silicon face ensure smooth frequency response. When combined, the cleanest, most natural sound possible is created. The second generation increases horn size for a larger soundstage and enhanced directivity.
Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) Titanium Diaphragm Tweeter: The exclusive Linear Travel Suspension minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performance. LTS tweeters are a hallmark of previous Reference lines, making it a core component of some of the best speakers in the world.
Vented Tweeter Design: The vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics, resulting in enhanced detail and clarity in high frequency reproduction.
Cerametallic Woofers – All New Design: A signature feature on the Reference Premiere series, Cerametallic™ woofers are exceptionally rigid and lightweight for minimal distortion and maximum efficiency. New voice coils are 70% larger in diameter resulting in improved power handling and greater cone control for greater linearity and flawless reproduction. New aluminium shorting rings reduce distortion as well as increase power handling and the new motor structure improve transit response with more control with greater speed and accuracy.
Tractrix Ports: Utilizing Tractrix geometry, the Reference Premiere ports allow for the most efficient, fastest air transfer from the cabinet, which reduces port noise for punchier low frequencies. Klipsch Tractrix ports have custom designed inner flares that help reduce air turbulence entering the port. Less turbulent air helps reduce port noise for cleaner, more powerful bass.
Bi-Wiring / Bi-Amping Capability: Dual input terminals for bi-wiring / bi-amping capabilities. Bi-wiring separates high and low frequency current into separate speaker cables, reducing intermodulation distortion, for clearer midrange. Bi-amping allows for customization using outboard crossovers when using separate amplifiers.
Advanced Cabinet Design: Additional bracing and a divided cabinet have been added to minimize cabinet resonances and vibration, for the utmost transparency and clarity.
New & Improved Connections: Featuring audiophile-grade wire and easily accessible aluminium binding posts for any connection type.
Furniture Grade Materials & Finishes: Finishes include ebony vinyl and walnut vinyl that boast satin painted baffles with a scratch resistant finish.
Cast Aluminium Feet: Provides a more modern look with less resonance than MDF or ABS plastic. It is mechanically designed to minimize surface area in contact with floor, decoupling the speaker for faster, tighter low frequencies and more detail.
Strong, Flexible, Removable Grille: Attaches magnetically for an elegant transition from powerful showstopper to discrete performance piece.
Our Take On The Klipsch RP-8060FA II Speakers
So, if we're talking Dolby Atmos, there are several ways to skin this cat. If you don't mind putting speakers in the ceiling then Dolby Atmos can be added to any surround speaker system with the addition of a pair or two of in-ceiling speakers. If you can't cut holes in the ceiling then you can always invest in a pair of Klipsch RP-500SA II speakers which sit on top of your main front left and right speakers and point upwards. An effective solution but one that lacks a certain level of elegance. Klipsch has a third way to provide Dolby Atmos and it's possibly the neatest solution of the lot. These Klipsch RP-8060FA II speakers not only have a main forward facing speaker system that is broadly equivalent to the RP-8000F II floorstanders but they also incorporate a pair of upward facing Dolby Atmos speakers built into the top of the cabinet. From a distance you can't even tell they're there and it's only when you get close enough to realise that you shouldn't be placing your beer on top that you start to suspect there is a lot more to these speakers than meets the eye. If you know you want Dolby Atmos and cutting holes in the ceiling is off the agenda then these RP-8060FA II's could be just what you're looking for.
