Features
  • Handles up to 600W peak power (150W continuous)

    For robust and controlled audio that is crisp and clear.

  • Two 8" spun-copper TCP Woofers

    Utlizing trickle-down technology from Klipsch's Reference Premiere series, the TCP woofers have steeper angling of the cones for a smoother response and improved accuracy and transparency.

    Sounds like 1 source rather than several separate sources.

  • MDF Cabinetnt with scratch-resistant, textured wood grain vinyl

    Stylish aesthetic with absolute durability that results in a seamless integration into any décor.

  • Sleek, modern appearance

    Hidden fasteners, edge-to-edge horn, and low-profile magnetic grilles give the speakers a polished, modern appearance.

  • Rear Tractrix Port

    The rear Tractrix port is perfectly matched to the cabinet and woofers, creating ideal airflow with mininimal distortion or turbulence even at the lowest frequencies.

  • High Quality Cabinet Design

    Reinforced 3/4" MDF construction with an all-new bracing design reduces cabinet vibration for less audible coloration and improved sonic accuracy.

  • Refined Atmos Connections

    Upgrading to Dolby Atmos is extremely easy with the simple and hidden connections located on the back of the speakers. These refined connections reduce the amount of wire seen and hold them in place for better wire management.

    Ensures a wide range of accurately reproduced sound.

  • 98 dB sensitivity

    Ensures crisp, robust audio.

    A++++

    So far a few weeks in I’m finding them powerful, with bright clarity, a beautiful soundstage, and excellent bass while using Klipsch’s subwoofer also I’m using only for music and specifically bought to play audiophile 180/200 gram vinyls. I love to hear live performances and demos. These speakers are giving me exactly what I was looking for. I can hear the smallest details stand out from the saliva of Tori Amos’ mouth to the distinct seperation of instruments and clarity of drums in Tool to David Gilmour’s beautiful guitar solos hearing his fingers slide unlike any recording I’ve heard before. Classical and electronic music have taken new shape. PJ Harvey’s demo albums truly sound like I’m in the room while the magic happens. I was close to buying much more expensive speakers I was unsure on the sound and these overwhelm me in comparison and for a great price. Be sure to use a strong receiver to get the most out of what they can provide. They are also beautiful in design. Was very happy with Best Buy showing me a wide range of options and helping me pair the system together to get the best audio experience possible

    WORTH THE MONEY!!

    I recently bought a pair of Klipsch speakers and I’m extremely impressed with how good they sound. The audio is clear, powerful, and detailed, with strong bass and crisp highs that make music and movies feel more immersive. On top of that, Best Buy was the perfect place to purchase them—the staff was helpful, the selection was great, and the buying process was quick and easy. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with both the speakers and the experience.

    Klipsch 800 Series review

    First off, these things are HUGE! I replaced a pair of JBL Loft 50 series tower speakers and these are clearly triple the footprint (picture attached of size after unboxing)! BUT, it is a very clear sounding speaker and brings a much larger stage to the front of my room now. It does add a lot more low end that my 10" JBL sub was decent at, but this has just enhanced it even more. I moved my JBL Loft tower speakers to the back surround positions to replace the smaller JBL Loft bookshelf units and now feel like the Klipsch 98db SPL advantage it has over the much weaker sounding JBL's (91db SPL) is going to have me looking for new Klipsch speakers for the rear surrounds. If you're looking for a solid speaker that you can get into for under $1000 a pair (black Friday/cyber Monday deals), this is a great choice. They are big and heavy (around 50lbs~ each), so measure and make sure they will fit where you plan to put them!

    Good sounding, good deal

    Look and sound good, my 75 w receiver can't fully push them but they get loud, but for ~$650 a pair new, they're solid

Questions & Answers
  • I have a Yamaha 5.1 home theater receiver rated at 150 watts per channel at 6 ohms. How will these work with that amp?

    These speakers can be run off of this receiver but we strongly recommend using a receiver/amplifier that supplies ~150 Watts at 8 Ohms to drive these speakers. If you are adamant about keeping your existing receiver, we'd suggest considering the R-600F! This model will still give you a lot of dynamic range and output, while being a bit more compatible with the power rating of your receiver.

  • My father gifted me his audio setup that he bought while we lived in Madrid Spain in the 70s. The receiver is a Kenwood KR 10000ii, would you recommend this setup? I have a Reel to Reel, Turntable and 8 track setup all purchased at the same time.

    From what I could find on that model of receiver, it supplies "60 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo)". The R-800F has a power handling of 150 Watts at 8 Ohms and should be connected to a receiver/amplifier that supplies close to this. The Kenwood KR 10000ii would be better suited for the R-600F. You will get cleaner audio and less chance for distortion.
