Features

  • Larger horn

    A new, larger 90° x 90° silicone composite hybrid Tractrix horn provides incredibly efficient transfer of high-frequency waves into the listening area for crisper, clearer sound. The phase plug and compression molded silicone face ensure smooth frequency response.

  • New cerametallic woofers

    The 5.25” cerametallic woofers have been updated for absolutely flawless sound reproduction, minimum distortion, and maximum efficiency. The redesigned woofer will deliver the power, detail, and emotion you expect from a Klipsch Reference Premiere speaker.

  • LTS titanium diaphragm tweeter

    The exclusive linear travel suspension minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performance.

  • 2-way speaker system

    Sounds like 1 source rather than several separate sources.

  • Removable grille

    Attaches magnetically for an elegant transition from powerful showstopper to discrete performance piece.

  • Furniture grade materials and finishes

    Finishes include ebony vinyl and walnut vinyl that boast satin painted baffles with a scratch resistant finish.

  • Improved input panel

    Featuring audiophile-grade wire and easily accessible aluminum binding posts for any connection type.

  • Tractrix ports

    Utilizing Tractrix geometry, the Reference Premiere ports in the main channel allow for the most efficient, fastest air transfer from the cabinet, which reduces port noise for punchier low frequencies and cleaner, more powerful bass.

  • Cork pads

    Cork pads replace rubber bumpers for security on a stand or table.

  • Vented tweeter design

    The vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics, resulting in enhanced detail and clarity in high-frequency reproduction.

    Good Home theater speaker

    I bought this on sale with the RP-600 MKII speakers for a home theater set up. The sound dispersion is a bit narrow so if you have a set up for more than a couple of seating positions there will be a difference in sound if you are more than 30 degrees off to side of the speaker, but that is the case for most center channel speakers. If you are within that window, the sound is great. Dialogue is clear and crisp with weight to the sound. It can get quite loud and with the RP-600 Mkii for the front and rear surround i can hit 100Db making for a great home theater set up in a medium size room.

    Reference II Center

    [Employee of bestbuy] Ive done the proper 100 hour break-in on my Marantz Cinema 60. The textures, the details, and the midrange are very clean and well balanced. This speaker is not great with horizontal axis, meaning youll want to make sure it is tilted up directly to ear level. Once adjusted, it just sounds smooth and sweet. Dialogue is clear without any added sharpness. Well done Klipsch! This thing is a bargain.

    Good sound profile.

    Movies and music sound amazing. Had to use 3 of these for my front soundstage due to space limitations ( see picture ). Many reviews say klipsch has a bright sound stage, but after listening, and returning many brands ( getting banned for excessive returns ), to me, the klipsch sound hits a home run. Love at first sound it was.
