felipe Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hey y' all ! Its been some time since I've visited here. I have to admit, I did venture away from the Klipsch brand for a bit...only to find my way back with the new Reference Series. The current sale they have gave me the opportunity to get a pair of R-620F's, R-51M's, the R-34C and the R-41SA Atmos modules. Let me tell you, even though these are Klipsch's entry-level, SQ wise they can compete directly (or even surpass in some regards) to other brands mid-level offerings with ease. I've previously owned some of the RP offerings, and this new Reference line blurs the line between the two. They image fantastic, have uber amounts of detail, and no HF fatigue. IMO the only aspects that separate the two lines are build quality, drivers and aesthetics. Kudos to the engineering team for the improvements 👍 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDoutdoorsman Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I am just looking at the R-820f and trying to get opinions between them and the newer reference premier line, would you recommend the reference series to save some cash without losing too much sound quality?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hi SDoutdoorsman and welcome to the forum🙂. I don't have any experience with the newer reference premiere line, but I do with the previous reference premiere line. The current reference series line IMO has a comparable SQ to the previous premiere line. Klipsch has done a great job improving the SQ of their entry-level reference series line. They definitely don't sound entry-level to me. If your looking to same some $ the current reference series line ( especially when on sale ) IMO are a superb deal...especially with the R-820fs at half off each!! I myself is actually thinking about getting those lol😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SydeSwype13 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I'm actually getting ready to order the R820F Dolby Atmos Theater System 7.1.2 that's on sale now. I'll be upgrading from a full set of Synergy 3's (F3's etc.) 5.1 and a Denon X2000 to the Reference speakers (adding a 2nd sub) with a Denon X4500h. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5SS Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 That is going to be a great upgrade! What center and subs did you decide on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokerz4u Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I just ordered a pair of the R 820F. I saw somewhere it said the sale ends tomorrow. This seems to be a pretty good deal. I currently have a pair of F30's from the synergy line as my mains, RP-450C as center, 2 R-12SW subs, 2 RP-160M as surrounds and 2 R-15M as front height. Think the 820F's will be a better fit than the F30's? If nothing else, im all copper now lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felipe Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hi jokerz4u welcome to the forum🙂. I’m not personally familiar with the F30s, but I am with the RP series and how they sound. I believe the R-820F will be a better match to the rest of your RP speakers. The new Reference series horns are more refined and closely match the sound of the RP horns IMO. What made you choose the R-820F over the RP-280F? Cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokerz4u Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Yes, cost. I got the R-820's for $250 each. Regular $450 each. Quite a savings for hopefully will be a great sounding speaker for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
