Not sure why everyone thus far has been focusing on his old R28Fs that he's looking to replace. Unless I'm reading it wrong, his question is asking whether or not it's worth buying the RP-8000F over the RP-280F. Other than cosmetics, the only technical variance between the two that stands out is the newer ported tweeter, and he wants to know if that is worth the extra money and whether there is anything else superior about the 8000F over the 280F. I'm currently in the same boat which is why I'm dredging this thread up. Cosmetics are secondary, so ignoring the fancy new copper rings and slightly different finishes and bases, is the 8000F worth the extra moolah over the outgoing 280F, which is already dropping significantly in price?

Thank you, wuzzzer, I'll take a look!

Hello! I recently ordered a set of Klipsch speakers for my "home theater" to replace the pair of computer speakers I've been suffering with for years. I purchased the R-820F 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos Home Theater System minus the pair of R-41SA's (I plan to save those for a later date - my current theater room would make them pretty useless as it's got a horrible ceiling shape, texture, etc.) so that leaves me with the following - (2) R-820F FREQUENCY RESPONSE 35Hz - 21kHz +/- 3dB SENSITIVITY 97 dB @ 2.83V/1M POWER HANDLING (CONT/PEAK) 150W/600W NOMINAL IMPEDANCE 8 ohms Compatible CROSSOVER FREQUENCY 1,700 Hz (1) R-34C FREQUENCY RESPONSE 82Hz - 21kHz +/- 3dB SENSITIVITY 96 dB @ 2.83V/1M POWER HANDLING (CONT/PEAK) 100W/400W NOMINAL IMPEDANCE 8 ohms Compatible CROSSOVER FREQUENCY 1,600 Hz (1) R-120SW FREQUENCY RESPONSE 29Hz - 120Hz +/- 3dB MAXIMUM ACOUSTIC OUTPUT 116 dB AMPLIFIER All Digital AMPLIFIER POWER (CONT/PEAK) 200W/400W AMPLIFIER FEATURES Volume, Low-pass, 0/180 phase, Auto Power On (1 Pair) R-51M FREQUENCY RESPONSE 62Hz - 21kHz +/- 3dB SENSITIVITY 93 dB @ 2.83V/1M POWER HANDLING (CONT/PEAK) 85W/340W NOMINAL IMPEDANCE 8 ohms Compatible CROSSOVER FREQUENCY 1,660 Hz As I mentioned before, I'm a noob that has only had plug-n-play PC speakers so I want to make sure I am pairing a proper AVR with these. Features are great, so things like bluetooth/wireless etc. are welcome but not absolute necessities. Taking into account that I eventually want to expand with more speakers, I'd rather buy one AVR now that can expand than have to buy an entirely new one later. I am currently contemplating getting the Denon AVR-X3400H. Will this be adequate for this Klipsch system? Sorry for coming here to beg for input, I just don't know enough about this stuff to feel confident I'm not going to buy a POS AVR. I'll be happy to answer any questions. Thanks!
