Xuhqtionerr Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 So I had my heart set on the rp280s and 450c combo. I got a hell of a deal for brand new ones right at $1k. I ordered them and two days later got an email saying they were sold out but they “upgraded” me to the 8000s/504. I know they are just the new models, but has anyone done any direct comparison on how they sound? Should I just be happy with the free upgrade?

inMotionGraphics Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I haven't heard either models myself, but I've only heard great things about the 8000's, so I think you should be delighted with the upgrade. One of the main new improvements to the 8000's is that they've now vented the Tractrix horn-loaded tweeter and made it out of a softer silicone material, which has allowed for smoother highs. I've heard people say this has made a massive positive improvement. Here's an excellent review by Audioholics of the 8000's to put your mind at ease: https://www.audioholics.com/tower-speaker-reviews/klipsch-rp-8000f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooseface Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Please help. I have the same exact issue. I had MY heart set on the same combo. 280/450c And got 8000/504c. I need to know what you ended up doing. Did you listen to both? Did you keep what you got? How did it sound? Please, your opinion would help tremendously.

Robc8000f Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I have the 8000F's and I'm very pleased with them, haven't hooked up the 504C yet but just these two alone really shake things up. *Watching "Lovecraft Country" at 62% volume made the couch's shake, I hadn't even hooked up the sub and was watching with just two speakers, phenomenal ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
