The New Reference Series 800 Floor Standing Speaker features the most dramatic upgrades since the series' inception, including many technologies derived from the Klipsch Reference Premiere Series. The Spun-copper thermoformed crystalline polymer woofers utilize trickle-down technology from Klipsch's highly acclaimed Reference Premiere series of speakers. The two 8-inch injection-molded graphite woofers provide deep, distortion-free bass, while the exclusive Klipsch 1-inch aluminum LTS tweeter and larger 90 x 90 square Tractrix Horn provides improved coverage, bandwidth and directivity control. Easy to setup, supports Dolby Atmos, and has amazing sound that will blow you away!
- 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.
- 2-way speaker system: 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.
- 34Hz - 21kHz frequency response: Ensures a wide range of accurately reproduced sound.
- 98 dB sensitivity: Ensures crisp, robust audio.
- 8 ohms nominal impedance: Ensures efficient conduction of power through the speaker.

Product Manuals
Q: What is the impedance of this speaker?

Q: What is the peak power this Klipsch speaker can handle?
A: This Klipsch speaker can handle up to 600W of peak power.
Q: What is the frequency response for this speaker?
A: This speaker has a frequency response of 34Hz - 21kHz.
Q: How much continuous power can this speaker handle?
A: This speaker can handle 150W of continuous power.
Q: What size are the woofers on these speakers?
A: These speakers have dual 8-inch woofers.
Q: I have a Pioneer SC-LX704 elite will these speakers work with my AVR thank you
A: Yes any good stereo will work.
Q: would this work with Sony STR-DH790? or need a more powerful av/r
A: The speakers produce 97 decibels at one (1) watt. FYI, that level of loudness is very loud, enough to cause hearing loss if prolonged period time serious damage at 8 hours. 95 dB is as loud as a car without a muffler, ATV, motorcycle, or a gas powered lawnmower cycle (earplugs are necessary). You could power those speakers with a 67 W amplifier without breaking a sweat, you could power those speakers loud enough for the neighbors to call the police. Previously employed in an electric guitar company.
A: 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.

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

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!

Chef’s kiss to the Klipsch brand!!
I absolutely love these speakers! I wanted the 8000 series but just had to keep budget in mind. The 800 did not disappoint! The clarity is just superb! They are pretty large.l but worth all the space they take!!! They are quality built look like they will last for many years to come. I’m not an audiophile and know all the particulars but man these things are incredible for music or movies of all types! I have them paired to my Denon receiver I also bought from Best Buy. They very very simple to hook up and start listening to.
