Product Description
Capturing all the sonic excitement of your favorite music and movies, the Reference Series RF-82 floorstander is unlike anything you've heard before. Exclusive Tractrix Horns have always been the key component of this critically acclaimed series. In the RF-82, this technology has been refined to include improved throat geometry for a more genuine, lifelike sound. Behind the horn lies a 1-inch titanium tweeter with a large ceramic motor structure to provide a unique combination of precision, clarity and effortless power. The RF-82 employs dual 8-inch woofers for a solid bass foundation These Cerametallic woofers with inverted copper dust caps exhibit a very high stiffness-to-mass ratio and superb damping characteristics. The RF-82's rigid cabinet offers improved internal cross-bracing to minimize panel vibrations that can color sound and twin rear-firing ports to eliminate turbulence noise. Increased baffle ribbing in the lower panel and around the horn mouth dramatically improve acoustics across the sonic range. For signal purity and perfect driver integration, the crossover on the RF-82 features the finest components and Klipsch custom internal wiring.

RF-82 for 2.0
By W. S. Lob
My RF-82 pair serve as a stand-alone units for music listening (I also have a Klipsch HD-1000 set up in a smaller area for watching video).The receiver, a Denon 830, is located in the video room about 50 feet away, but even with that long cable run the RF-82s are capable of filling the whole house with sound. The RF-82 is remarkably more efficient than previous speakers I've had in the same location (Altec Model 9, Bose 501, and an amazing but doomed pair of KEF 107s, victims of six months of humid isolation following the levee failures in 2005). The KEFs had particularly crisp and strong bass, as would be expected with twin 12" drivers mounted in massive towers, but to my surprise I found the RF-82s to be both stronger and flatter, especially with extreme low end sources such as orchestral bass drum and pipe organs. These speakers even revealed previously undetected nuance in the "All Things Considered" theme song.Reviews and forum postings have no shortage of praise for the RF-82's ability with electronic and rock music, or as part of home theater system. But here the primary diet of my RF-82s is old-fashioned 2-channel orchestral and vocal material, and I am thrilled with the sound. Highs are sharp, as I expected from experience with other Klipsch products, but I was pleasantly surprised by the clarity across mid-ranges. The sense of placement with stereo material is remarkable. A listener can pick out a singer at "1:30" and not just "somewhere to the right". I would be remiss if I didn't mention that the remixed Beatles catalog sounds great coming through them.I would have liked to have heard these speakers side-by-side with the RF-63 and -83's, but I had neither the time nor budget.

I matched these up with the RC-62 II, 2 RS-52 II, 2 RB-81 II, 2 RW-10d, and 2 pair of RB-51 for my wide and high front. The extremely helpful folks at Klipsch say that there is no problem mixing Reference and Reference II speakers. Check the Klipsch website to figure out the system you want to build. I would recommend the Reference line. I power all these with an Onkyo TX-NR708 receiver. Let me just say I will never again go to the movie theater to see a movie. Movies sound much better right here on my couch. I put on my Led Zeppelin live at Earls Court 1975 DVD to test out the new system when I first set it up and I have to admit, it made me cry. I have been to over 300 concerts and never heard sound like this. I have never been so proud to buy American. I am so proud that such a quality product is made right here in the United States of America. These speakers are worth every penny and more. You don't have to have all the matching speakers to appreciate these towers either. They sound amazing on their own. I just really can not express how impressed I am with these speakers. Some people don't like the sound of the Klipsch horns, and everyone has their own particular taste. I love the sound. I think these things are the best investment I have ever made. "Speakers an investment?" you ask. Thats right, I say investment because they keep giving back to me every single day. I can only imagine what the RF-7s would sound like in my house. I just couldn't pass up the cyber week deals on the RF-82 line as I paid about half price for most of the speakers through different sellers. Onecall, Vans, and Sound Distributers are great and all sell through Amazon. Just make sure you buy from an authorized dealer. Do yourself a favor and pick up a pair. You will not be disappointed.

By Doberman_Fan
Since I am a novice, I am not going to comment much on the sound quality of these; but, even I can tell they sound much better than the old floor standing Audio Polk's I replaced. I did a lot of research prior to purchasing & do feel/believe I have received speakers which are above the norm in quality and sound. Also, based upon comparison shopping amongst different Kipsch distributors, I am very pleased with the price I paid for them. These Klipsch speakers definitely provide me much satisfaction from the attractive look, apparent quality of materials, and great sound I am now enjoying. Highly recommend. I complimented this with a Klipsh RF-62 center speaker & 2 rear Klipsch in-wall speakers.
