Customer Ratings & Reviews

we purchased 4 of the Reference dual 8'' speakers, 2 bookshelf speakers and 1 sub which is on the way. When we unboxed everything we decided to put this in the master bedroom which is pretty much a big square. After hooking the speakers up in the bedroom (small space) we turned the receiver on and played some music on low then to slightly mid volume level . At this point I'm WOWED with mids and highs and this is without the center channel speaker but not a lot of bass so now I'm disappointed and ready to return it. Before unhooking everything I decided to up the bass and tweak some settings on the receiver and put more volume on them and WOW...DEEP whole house shaking bass with crystal clear sound with music and movies. THESE TOWERS WANT POWER AND LOTS OF IT!! This same day I removed everything from the bedroom to my open floor plan living room and here is when it all went downhill with the bass but the mids and highs were still making me happy. You will definitely need to purchase a subwoofer for high levels of bass if you plan to use these towers for big open areas. As of now I'm currently waiting on the Klipsch 12 inch subwoofer to arrive because I would like to keep it set up in my living room. Half off was a good deal as I would have returned everything if I had payed full price. I will update when the subwoofer arrives. Hopefully the subwoofer wows me as well and completes my setup for now until I can purchase the center channel speaker and another subwoofer on sale. currently using yamaha YHT-4950UBL receiver

I was little surprised when I opened the box regarding their size. Everything always looks smaller at the store. I hooked them up to my audio receiver and was a little disappointed at low volume. Then I turned up the volume and the world opened up in quality and spaciousness! I realized these speakers want power and lots of it. So be prepared to have the volume up to get the best out of them.

Great upgrade from my old klipsch towers. The 8in drivers make the sound much fuller, giving more punch to bass and clarity with the new cone designs. You don't need a lot of power to run these either, but when you do, that's where it really shines. These towers can handle power without distortion easily. Plus they look great!

Wow... Top of the line at affordable prices. What could be better? This speaker set stands out above the rest. Sleek slim black cabinet that adds class looks to quality sound. I am beyond impressed. Clear precise sound at low volume as well as louder settings. I hear things on CDs that I never knew was there with my previous Bose system. Guests are constantly commenting on how great they look and sound. I once thought this type of quality was only available at high end stores. Klipsch found a way to give the best sound and appearance at a price that does not break the bank. Combine great pricing with a store like BestBuy policy of standing behind what they sell and you have a win win situation. If you want a speaker system that is affordable and something you will be proud to have in your home , then these speakers are for you. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

These speakers are amazing, they aren't biamp, they have great sound quality and a really good thump to them. I saved a decent amount of money on what was described as excellent condition open box, I read that it was still functional with no scratches or blemishes, simply open box. This was far from the truth. One speaker had major cosmetic damage to the front top and bottom corners. Speaker still works as intended.

The Klipsch Tower speakers are outstanding and excellent sounding speakers although rather tall and why they are still narrow and are slim enough to fit in most side Corners in alongside of most entertainment systems the sound is excellent where's the horn Twitter and the Dual 8-inch woofers and the tune duck port in the back makes this an outstanding stereo speaker as well as when you align it with a home entertainment system package with the proper amplification Equalization these speakers can match speakers costing twice as much I found them to be very quality worthy sound worthy and we recommend these to anyone who has thought about buying the elix the Triton ours or the JBL Tower speakers

Súper clear hight and deep bass using with AS801 Yamaha integrated amplifier ,you feel in the heaven ,no distorsión,very powerful speaker.i bought at $ 245.0 each

Bought these to replace a pair of Klipsch KG 1.2's that I've owned since 1992. The KG's still sound flawless but I needed something worthy of pairing with the vintage receiver I just had refurbished. These towers are beautiful. Top shelf listening experience for under 1k. When paired with a high quality amp, your music will open up and provide you with listening experiencing you might not have had ages. I've spent every day since this purchase digging through my catalog and rediscovering my LP, CD collection. I could not be happier with this purchase AND the sales staff at Best Buy.

I bought these Klipsch R-820F speakers to play vinyl records after having to retire my giant Klipschorn speakers because I no longer had corners to place them. These free standing towers fit the bill. At first the towers gave me the impression of hearing two separate sound sources but after listening to them for a couple of weeks I discovered that it was my eyes deceiving me as I was used to the wide footprint of the Klipschorns. By closing my eyes I discovered that the 820s really do offer a broad soundstage. The midrange is crisp and more full than the R-620F. See for yourself by listening to both in the Best Buy store. They gave me more of a sense of orchestra presence than the Polk towers. The R-820Fs deliver generous dispersion whether standing or sitting. You notice coloration differences as you walk across the room, but that's true of live performances too. The ported bass is robust for most instruments, but if you insist on crispness in your classical music string bass, contrabassoon, and organ pedal notes you should add the subwoofer. For home theater, add the subwoofer. For popular music you don't need the subwoofer unless you're in a frat house. My Denon receiver offered line outputs for the subwoofer and let me set the crossover to 80 Hz.

Upgraded from my 6” Klipsch, and let me tell you the difference is amazing! Well worth the upgrade. Did pick them up when they were $250 each and was well worth it!

I bought these on sale to go in my living room with little space left . They were slim enough to fit right in there next to a wall unit. They sound terrific and super clear good bass . I added a sub woofer to give full effect when watching movies.

Good bass Ok midrange Great for movies and music Can use without subwoofer Easy to set up Look and sound amazing

Great sound from Klipsch. These speakers are the best bang for your buck. Such a great value with excellent sound quality and can rock the house with ease.

I’ve been eyeing Klipsch speakers for a while now and when Black Friday came around I purchased a 7.2 system and paired it with a Marantz receiver. These bad boys will melt your face off I highly recommend u won’t be disappointed.DO NOT have them delivered to your home do store pick up only. Speakers came dinged and dented and had to return both tower speakers to store and then wait several days to new ones came in.

Works amazing! If you have small leaving room make sure that you have enough space for this monster speaker

I bought these speakers to go with the Onkyo receiver. I was very happy with the quality of the sound & the look. I did purchase the Klipsch subwoofer ad it was needed to round out the depth of the sound. Oddly, the last thing I purchased for this system was the center channel speaker. I like deals & waited for the sales price.

These sound great. Upgraded from small bookshelf Polk Audio speakers since I already had the Klipsch sub. They are pretty big, but look great in my setup.

I built a dedicated theater room as my first project after retirement. I tried many speakers for the front soundstage trying to get the perfect balance between clarity for dialogue, accuracy for soundtrack, and impact for special effects. I avoided the Klipsch brand for most of the search - many people swear by them, but they also have a strong contingent of non-fans, for various reasons. These speakers went on sale, so I listened to the store display, liked what I heard, took a pair home, and found the sound and effect I was looking for. I especially like the fuller and richer sound of the 8" woofers for voices and music compared to the 4 1/2" to 6 1/2" drivers found in the other speakers I tried. These are Klipsch's entry-level for towers but they provide excellent clarity for voices and music and excellent mid-bass punch. They sound just as good when they whisper as when they pound. It seems where Klipsch cut corners is in the cheaper wood, finish and hardware, but in the corner of a dark room, they look fine Powered by a Denon AVR coupled to a Marantz power amp.

I purchased a pair of R-620F's two years ago. I had to get an R-100SW to go with them because they lack deep bass. These don't have that problem. I have them hooked up to my 35-year-old receiver, which doesn't have the connections for a subwoofer, and they sound great.

First off, these are NOT 8 inch speakers. They are 6 inch speakers. I'm not sure what marketing person decided to go to the frame is a mystery to me. I've had multiple subs and speakers from multiple vendors, and no one misrepresents speaker size like Klipsch. Speaker size for 50+ years is the actual cone, NOT the surround. I replaced my ancient Bose 401s with these speakers. They are the core of my surround sound system with the Sony projector and 110 inch screen. All that said, they do sound great. The family has all comment at how much better the surround sound is. Much brighter overall. Very satisfied with the purchase overall, just wish they were not represented as something they are not.
