Still_A_Kid Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Hello! Curious on anyone's input that has first hand experience with both lines. I currently have the Klipsch RF-82 powering my front stage. Matching Reference Center channel as well. I have had this stage for a while now. I'm contemplating the new RP-8000f II as I can get the left and right for about 40% off right now. Will I notice a big change between these two models or is the difference negligible? Thank you, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 While I have no experience with either speaker, I have heard wonderful things about the RP8000fll. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimanata2007 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Based on what do you expect to hear big difference? Based on specs 33Hz-23kHz ± 3dB vs 35-25kHz +/- 3dB + bigger horns and CROSSOVER FREQUENCY 2000Hz vs 1630Hz I doubt you'll hear any difference... Yes, PR's are newer, but it's the same level of quality and technology, differences are very minimal.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't go specs alone the newest RP series have significantly better / higher quality horns, phase plugs and driver tech. Cabinets bifurcated and heavily braced crossovers are much improved as well. I would expect a much more refined, detailed accurate and smoother, more pleasing sound from the 8000 ii's than the older 82's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we all have seen this info at the RP-8000II products page :). But will it make any noticeable difference? If you have a composers sensitive hearing and listening to classical music in FLAC - maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May always. @Still_A_Kid I got buried with work and lost track of all this tbh. Some great feedback from everyone! Fortunately still seeing some deals and will likely give em' a go. Wife didn't like the Rubicon off roading so have some money to blow on my next favorite hobby haha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
