The best bang for your buck. Smooth bass and clarity. Made listening to music and watching movies lit! I would highly recommend.

If you power the speakers with a amplifier, you can almost get away without using a subwoofer. I would definitely recommend these speakers…..especially when they were on sale.

Sounds great really clean recommend getting for the price don't buy the cheaper pair!

Thanks for nothing at all Best Buy. So, back in April I started building on a home theater system. I was buying different pieces that i could afford individually. I put an order in for some "excellent " open box Klipsch speakers for my home stereo system. Well unbeknownst to me i was sent to Jacksonville to help another tech down there. It was only supposed to be a week or two and it actually ended up being two months. When the Klipsch speakers i ordered were delivered my girlfriend told me the boxes the speakers were in felt like they didn't have any Styrofoam in them to support the speakers. Fast forward 6-30-24. I finished with the job in Jacksonville and came home this past Saturday. I was excited to get the stereo going. On Sunday after i got up i went down to the basement to begin booking it all up. The boxes for the speakers looked like they had seen much better days. I went to go move one and it was like my girlfriend had said, the speaker felt like it was rocking inside of the box with no Styrofoam. I took my knife and started cutting the excess amount of tape to open up the box. I slid the box up off the speaker and the top corner of the speaker had a big gouge on the corner. I thought excellent condition? As I'm inspecting the speaker i found several more places where it was damaged. As i looked at the back of the speaker i noticed one of the jacks was broken off where you hook the speaker up to. Unbelievable. At that point i was oh no so I started opening the other box. Mind you, the second box was in much worse condition. I got the second speaker out of the box and sure enough one of the top corners was bashed in. Thanks Best Buy. Upon further inspection i looked at the back of the speaker and that's when i became angered. Not one jack broken off but all four were broken off at the bottom of the stud and the jacks themselves were not even in the box. Unacceptable. So today, 7-3-24 i called the Best Buy customer service line and informed them of my discovery. I explained that i was out of town working and couldn't receive the speakers myself. The gentleman on the phone asked if i minded waiting while he spoke to someone about my problem. I guess he had some to the great and power corporate wizard of oz. He got back on the phone with me and told me there was nothing they could do about it. Best Buy, I spent 800.00 on two speakers that someone might find in a dump. From this point forward i vow to never give your company another dollar. I've bought multiple phones, laptops, TV's, two different gaming systems and other smaller items. You will never get my business again and shame on you. I understand that there are parameters but i didn't choose to get sent out of town and i didn't want my girlfriend to have to deal with my toys. I thought i had a chance of this being rectified if i called and simply explained my situation. To anyone who reads this review this is an honest review of what happened. I have no need to bash Best Buy. This is a learning lesson to me. I assure you i will speak up anytime buying electronics comes up in a conversation I'm in that I will steer anyone away from purchasing a thing from your store. Thank you very little for your terrible customer service and not understanding how life really is. What a shame. Sincerely One very unhappy past customer

Great sound, great looks. My 3rd set of Klisph speakers and would recomend them for anyone that loves great sound

Excellent speakers. I very much enjoyed listening to these, though chose to upgrade to the RP-8000f ii since I have the RP line for my other speakers. But these are worth every penny, especially for $299 on Black Friday!

I have always wanted a set of tower loudspeakers. Once i started with the Klipsch subwoofer i decided to make everything the same. I am happy wirh these towers. They completely complement the center and complete the soundstage. I was excited when i finally decide to pull rhe trigger I was able to save $240 per speaker.

Great speakers,sound quality awsome,no complaints here,if i did have any when i purchased speaker it was $650,now there $450,win sum loose sum,overall 2thumbs up

Your wife will probably hate these speakers but they rock!

For the last two weeks I've been test-driving a pair of Klipsch Reference series 800F floor standing speakers. These are brand new for 2022 and at the time of this writing there is no information online about them. However, I believe these are a revised version of the 820F model that incorporates design cues from the 8000 model. For my testing I used two similar 1100 watt receivers from different brands and a set of 16-gauge cables with banana jacks. With either receiver the towers sounded great. However, one receiver did sound better than the other and required less power to drive the speakers. So your mileage may vary. Out of the box these speakers needed minimal assembly. There's a two-piece plastic stand that attaches to the bottom of the towers with screws. All I needed was a Phillips head screwdriver and a helper to assist in flipping and moving the speakers. After installing the stand, the speakers are 43 inches tall and 16 inches deep. Which is larger and deeper than I expected. But luckily, I had enough space to accommodate them. As for overall looks and feel I think the speakers are fantastic. I love the unique design of the large tractrix horn, copper-colored woofers and completely hidden fasteners. I also liked that the exterior convincingly feels like real wood grain and the speaker grills are magnetic. On top of that, the cabinet construction is top notch and the rubber feet do an excellent job keeping the speakers planted. As for performance, the speakers can get really loud, and provide crystal-clear vocals as well as plenty of bass. Even without a subwoofer the towers easily provided enough bass to make my picture frames rattle. When paired with a center channel, surround speakers, Atmos speakers and a subwoofer they provided an excellent and immersive surround sound experience. Another nice feature of these speakers is that it includes a second banana jack input on the bottom of the cabinet and a banana jack output closer to the top which acts as a pass through for top mounted Atmos speakers. So if you intend on using these for a home theater this will make cable management a little easier. Overall, I love these speakers and highly recommend them as both standalone speakers and as part of an Atmos home theater system.

Going from the bookshelf klipsch speakers to these bad boys, they sound amazing! For my sound system I can thoroughly enjoy every aspect of the music I listen to. Definitely worth it.

OVERVIEW The Klipsch R800F floor standing behemoths are solid speakers that feature a great design aesthetic and pretty good sound that tends to lack a bit in the mid-range. They're a very good front speaker option but aren't quite as impressive as Klipsch's other speakers in the newly redesigned Reference series. DESIGN The first thing I noticed about these speakers is that they're quite large. In my system, they replaced a set of Paradigm Monitor 11s7 floor standers which are large in their own right, but these are substantially bulkier depth and width wise (they're roughly the same height). Their bulk isn't a con in my opinion, as my theater is setup in such a way that their size doesn't matter, but if you're strapped for space, you may need to consider whether these are a good fit. The finish is a jet black wood-grained vinyl that's a semi-gloss, classy looking finish. From the front, you see nothing but a Klipsch logo adorned on the giant speaker grille, which is attached by hidden magnets to the speaker. This coincidentally was how my Paradigm speakers handled affixing the speaker grille as well, and I personally think this is a fantastic solution because it leaves you with a completely clean look with the grille off. On the back, you have two pairs of speaker terminals on the bottom and a pair of banana plugs on the top. The second set of inputs allows you to pass-thru your connection to a set of Atmos enabled speakers at the top, which is an incredibly elegant feature that significantly cleans up the speaker wire situation in the front. You can run two sets at the bottom and have a short run set at the top and not have wires dangling all over the place. Great implementation. SOUND QUALITY I'll preface this again by saying that these replaced a set of very good Paradigm floor standers, so my comments here are in the context of that situation. Overall, I've found the R800F speakers to be pretty good, giving a substantial amount of high end and low end presence. To my ears, they lack definition in the mid-range, however, which is not entirely surprising given that they're a two-way driver design. The Paradigms were a three-way driver design, meaning they had a dedicated mid-range speaker cone, and in my experience, this helps the Paradigms achieve a slightly fuller sound. That being said, that's the result of my ears being accustomed to the Paradigms, and in general, the R800Fs have a decently full sound stage that projects a loud, forward amount of sound. They generally sound great with both music and movies. Testing these with a number of different genres of music, they never seemed to struggle regardless of how challenging the content was (anything from metal to progressive to red dirt); the R800Fs filled my listening space with an abundance of great sound, always projecting a relatively uncolored and mostly full blanket of noise (perhaps lacking something in the mids as previously discussed). The highs were incredibly well put together, not piercing as some speakers do it, but very forward and present. The new tweeter design is probably the star of the show here, as it handles a pretty wide range of frequencies, ranging from the seemiingly ultrasonic into the vast realm of mid-range. They do an admirable job of trying to cover the mid crossover into the larger drivers, but again, I feel there's some punch missing that means these could've benefitted with a third driver type in my opinion. In terms of cinema and TV watching, these speakers excel. The lack of mid-range punch noted previously is not much of a consideration here, as they handle everything from loud explosions to delicate dialog with ease. With the R800Fs, I've never found myself struggling to interpret or understand dialog, which is often the case for my previous systems, and they handle the loudest of explosions in style, filling my theater with a blanket of sound that can rattle the walls if given enough volume. While these are very good for music, it feels to me like they were made for movies. CONCLUSION The R800Fs are very good, behemoths that sound pretty good with music and sound incredible with movies. They feature a design aesthetic that's likely to fit in with a majority of setups, and are well served to form the foundation of your new home theater. These should be a strong consideration for you, especially if you're primarily concerned with cinema watching.

Of the full set of Klipsch gear I received for review, the K-800F are by far the pick of the litter, and I guess that should be expected as the flagship speaker in the updated Reference series. First off, I love the new tweeter/horn design. On this larger speaker, the horn design just looks amazing and symmetrical in a way that no other speaker I've seen can match. Especially for the floorstanding R-800F, the magnetic grilles are meant to be off! The new "spun copper thermoformed crystal polymer" woofers add to the bold look. Adding the grilles back, and adding the optional Atmos height speakers (the R-40SA), the speakers become a black tower of power that can nearly steal the show from even the largest TV setups. Putting on a few demo tracks in stereo only mode, I was really impressed right out of the gate with the R-800F. My listening notes from the first demo (Bon Iver - Holocene): "efficient - clear and loud even at lower volumes - wide soundstage - low crossover for tweeter but no distortion". Coming back to that track again tonight after a few weeks of movies and music to break them in, and the notes hold true. Yes, these tower speakers can get loud and do so with great clarity when given the power they deserve - but they also are shockingly detailed and clear even at lower volume levels. It's been awhile since I've properly been in the home audio game, but these speakers are hands-down the best speakers I've ever heard at low and moderate volumes. I attribute that to the horn tweeter design and the (seemingly) lower crossover frequency than I'm used to. The tweeter handles that upper midrange very well and does a great job spreading it out so the sound seems to flow from a continuous wall in front of you, rather than two points on right and left. Once you add the matching center, it only gets better. I put the speakers through their paces with Metallica - Wherever I May Roam and Foo Fighters - Everlong on DVD-Audio, as well as the SACD for Kind of Blue, even a full re-listen of Kendrick Lamar's "To Pimp a Butterfly" and finally my favorite benchmark track, The Avett Brothers' "Shame". Seriously, if you haven't used this track to demo a set of speakers, you will be blown away. The R-800Fs handled it perfectly - bright, clear vocals, warm, crisp banjo and guitar, and finally the upright bass just blowing your socks off out of nowhere. The 8 inch drivers on the K-800F pull all of this off capably on their own, as well as having a smooth transition to the subwoofer if you have one. For movie and TV viewing, the same qualities show their virtue, with the efficient clarity at low volume again proving a highlight. The dynamic range afforded by this setup is just astounding - whether watching Wheel of Time, Downtown Abbey, or the Matrix Resurrections, these speakers do not disappoint. Setting up the Atmos height speakers was really easy thanks to the integrated atmos terminals on the R-800F towers, and the rubber feet on the R-40SA speakers keep them firmly in place on the top of the towers. My only complaint with the R-800F speakers is the cheap screws they send for attaching the feet for the towers. The head of the first screw I tightened broke off with about an 8th of an inch of thread left until it was fully tightened down. Fortunately it left enough thread for me to get a set of pliers on the remains and get it out, but be on the alert. This was hand tightening the screw, too, no power tools involved! Definitely be on the alert. I ended up deciding to risk it with the remaining 7 screws and just go very slowly, and did not break any of the others. If I hadn't been completely blown away by that first listen with these speakers, that might have knocked off a star for me. Otherwise, if you have the space and are looking to upgrade your home theater or listening room, I think these R-800s will hold up well even against some speakers in higher price brackets.
