The peak of Klipsch Reference performance
Klipsch's
Reference Series has always offered excellent sound at prices that make
them an excellent value. The R-800F is the flagship tower in the
Reference lineup, featuring two large woofers and a refined tweeter to
deliver rich, spacious sound. It has no trouble working with most
receivers thanks to its high-efficiency drivers, and it works well in
two-channel stereo and home theater applications alike.
Next-generation drivers
Each
of the R-800F's 8" woofers uses spun-copper TCP (thermoformed
crystalline polymer) for its cone material. Klipsch chose this material
because of its smooth response and transparency. The woofer also uses
some trickle-down technology from the company's more expensive Reference
Premiere line. It has a similar cone shape and uses additional ribbing
for extra rigidity, which reduces distortion at higher frequencies.
The
hallmark 90°x 90° Tractrix® horn features an upgrade too.
Klipsch widened its opening for more high-frequency directivity. That
means the 1" LTS (Linear Travel Suspension) tweeter inside the horn has a
wider "sweet spot" and delivers more detail inside that sweet spot.
