tubetwister Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I have a fairly new pair of 820F’s. Got them for a steal at $249/each. I think they sound absolutely fantastic! How much improvement in sound would there be with the RP-8000 speakers? Would the expense be justified? I’m shocked at just how good these 820F’s are with both music, and movie soundtracks. They shake the whole house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamBamKam Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I had a pair of R-620F. Bought them brand new and they were a upgrade from what I had before(Bose system). I just bought the RP-6000F and the RP-600c and it was a major upgrade. The sound was night and day different. I wish I didn’t waste my money on the Reference series first. I think the biggest upgrade was going from the R-34C to the RP-600C. If you have the room and a little more money I would go with the Reference Premier.

I can use the R-820F’s in another room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadBlue Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I went from base Reference to RF-7iii's so ya big difference there. 4 months later I got a deal on a pair of La ScalaII and sold the RF-7's. A few months after that I put my old Reference towers ( RF-800's) for sale . An elderly Asian man showed up to buy them and he brought an 8w/chn tube amp of his own design and build. We hooked them up and I was amazed a how good the Reference line can sound, I had forgotten over the near 1yr since I last had them hooked up. I would suggest you just stay with them(was a sweet deal ya got) and just enjoy until you really start feeling the need to upgrade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an opportunity presents itself to get the 8000F’s on sale, I just might jump on it. Found several reviews that were stellar in their praise for these.
