My review of the Klipsch RP8000F speaker
I personally prefer it over the RP600M and am impressed with what budget speakers today can do.
The speaker is easy to drive and I had great success with
IOTAVX SA3+PA3 with external DAC
Yamaha WXA50 with external DAC
Exasound E28+Modwright LS100+Moon W5.3
REL T7i subwoofers.
If you want to experience the full range sound, you will need to pair with subwoofers. However, I would say for most people, it is good enough.

One thing I forgot to mention in the video is that these speakers don't disappear. You can localize the tweeter especially when something sharp plays. If enough people ask for the RF7 III, I will reach out to Klipsch, it would help if you can send them an email too. Don't forget to like and subscribe.
Please review the RF7 III. The 8000F and the RF7's were on my shortlist. In the end I went with their heritage line and got some Cornwalls. Definitely not a bright sounding speaker, but with amazing dynamics.
Yes, please review. I'm really looking into getting those.
@@Ba09035 Nice, if you can help me send them an email too, it will help. Thanks!
@@crh4878 Thanks Carlton, if you can send them an email too, it will help me.
@@ThomasAndStereo Can I ask you how I go about this? I will do it.
You do great reviews. I appreciate that you focus on your impressions of the speakers' performance, and not the specs.
Loved your review, thank you. I’m using Klipsch / REL for a 7.1.4 home theater and Naim/REL for music.
Thank you for making a direct comparison between these and the LSiM, as it was a subject that had crossed my mind. My LSiM 5.0 set up sounds terrific with a Denon x7200. But the Klipsch RP sound amazing in a demo room. With no way to pair them for a side-by-side, I rely on word of mouth. Your vids provide authentic, no frills assessments that have enough credibility for my peace of mind.
Thomas,
You really, really helped me pick the right speakers for my setup. I watch a lot of audio review channels, and you are one of the best! It's obvious when you're excited about a speaker, and you are so good at articulately describing your experience so that I feel that I have just demoed them myself. I ended up buying the RP8000F towers, the 504c center, RP500 SA atmos speakers, a couple of Polk 265 RT in walls and an SVS PB-3000 subwoofer for a 5.1.2. I'm using the Denon X3700H and an Emotiva amp to help drive these bad boys. Eventually I will pump this thing up to a 7.1.4, but my only hurdle is that one of the surrounds will be in a wall with a gas fireplace below it. The sheetrock gets darn right hot, and I'm concerned that the heat will ruin the speakers. What do you think about putting an in wall speaker in a wall that has a gas fireplace in it?
Great channel and a great review! I'm happy I found you. I own the Klipsch RP-280F that came out before the RP800F and they are exactly what you said in the review. That's pretty impressive, you now got a new subscriber. Keep it up!
Welcome aboard!
I really enjoy all of your videos. Have been watching all that I can.
Glad you like them!
Been waiting for this - thanks as always Thomas!
Hope it is not bad for your wallet :)
@@ThomasAndStereo Heh, I can always get a new wallet - not a problem. The wife however...:)
Thanks Thomas for the review it really helped me to plan my home theater
Your video quality is getting better and better Thomas, good job!
Thanks, I try!
Thank you for another wonderful video
Good review Thomas.
"You can just Google the specs." That's when I liked and subscribed. Thank you.
Thomas, congratulations on another entertaining review, particularly one that a wide range of people can relate to. I've owned both those since they first came out and concur with your experience with each, however, I usually listen to them in a surround setup, but have spent a lot of time pairing them with several amps in stereo application. What I conclude is that the RP series are fundamentally, sound reinforcement speakers, intended to deliver clean dynamics, i.e. fast transition in dB as one would appreciate in an action movie sound effects. When I have used them strictly in stereo, they lack frequency response in the mid band, particularly when played at moderate levels. When belting out sound, they tend to come into better balance through the frequency band (high to low). When playing live music recordings, they can shine nicely over more expensive gear, but they really come together when used in a full 7 or 5 channel setup. The Klipsch center brings out all the missing vocals from the towers or bookshelf types. Then you get true instrument separation with the singer in the middle as in a real live venue. I also own the previous model RF towers with the newest RF center. Although these components are a good bit better than the RP series, the same thing tends to be true. When paired with their center channel, absolutely glorious. Without, as you say, meh. It is simply that the 6.5" and 8" woofers have a significant dB drop off from about 800hz and up, so those speakers rely on the wave guide tweeter (i.e. horn) to pick up the slack. Problem is that those horns only dip down to about 2Khz, thus leaving a void in part of the vocal range. Some think the RP series is warm, but it only seems that way from lack of lower vocal range. The center channel corrects most of this shortcoming. Still, they are a lot of fun, especially for the budget pricing. Won't be using any of my RP gear to replace stereo listening of my Cornwall 3s any time soon though. Cheers Thomas!
Thanks Taz for the clarification. Man I wish I would have spoken to you before I made the review. If I ask for the RF7III, I wonder if I should also ask for the center...
@@ThomasAndStereo Yes, definitely ask for the center RF 64 III, they are great and pairs well with the RF 7 III's..
@@ThomasAndStereo yes, definitely try the center and place the towers as far apart as possible. Even in 3 channel mode, the experience is incredible.
@@CUDAbuster Thanks, I wonder if the 'hole' is the reason why it is so easy to localize the tweeter in the room...
You are a very authentic reviewer. Most reviewers would just be saying Klipsch walks on water, but you point out the "brightness" which a lot of people won't like in a speaker. And your favourite speaker is Polk which is a favourite of the top reviewers I notice, although it is a bit of an obscure brand. And you *own* Polk speakers, not just review them for a couple of days.
Thanks for the video review of one of my favorite brands Thomas.
It would be cool to hear some Klipsch on some $10K front end for sure!
I have never warmed to the Spun Copper Cerametallic™ Woofers since their inception, for my ears it killied the dynamic mid bass.
What would be cool to see you review is the KLIPSCHORN AK6...?
The other side of Klipsch is their pro line cinema speaker that are very cool.
Been looking at this for some time. Just sold my 21 yr old PSB Stratus Silver Floorstanding and Klipsch pops in my mind everytime I go to London Drugs electronics department. Thanks for the review
I almost LIVE at London drugs! I am literally on a first name basis with staff!
I wanted to say they have bent over backwards for me with honoring expired sales pricing, most recently they honored the sale of the SPL100 sub at $599 vs $799 on 2 separate occasions. They also matched The Bricks pricing on a Klipsch R52C center channel for my wife!
SUCH GREAT SERVICE
Lastly, having seen the Klipsch RP504C on sale somewhere for $750 (reg $999) I made EVERY effort to have someone honor that and that wasn't happening... knowing that Visions sells select RP speakers I pushed & they agreed to sell it at $750+tax!!!
Long and short, KLIPSCH is fantastic, way out performs its price point and deals pop up often!!!
Last thing... when I excitedly arrived home with the RP260F'S (the predisessor to the RP6000) I wanted to hear them so bad that I just quickly hooked them to our center channel in our small theater on our main floor.
I was giddy like a kid seeing a new bike in the living room! Out of a large showroom and in a more easily filled room these BLEW my mind! Clear/Bright & PUNCHY!!!
AMAZINGLY FULL SOUND
GOOD LUCK
Nice review Thomas, would of liked to see them hooked up to tube front end. I like your unique way of describing how equipment sounds.First review of 2020, Happy New Year & keep up the good work!
Thanks, happy new year. I need to get a tube integrated Amp again. I sold all mine.
They drive nicely with an 'warmer' Denon AVR-X6200W .. they take a while to run in.... luv em
Thank you for a great review Thomas, regards, Antony, Warrington...
So many great speakers under 2k right now, I just want all of them in my house, one for each day of the week lol 🤣
Thanks Thomas, for another great review! Really enjoy hearing your stories. You probably should try getting more sleep rather than staying up late listening to all of your gear though 😴
Haha...yeah, I need sleep.
You are an entertaining reviewer, Thomas. I enjoy watching your reviews because I am entertained and I learn a lot from you.
I couldn’t decide between the 2 pairs, so....................I got both, love them!
Great review!
RF7III next?? Great review. Thanks for the honesty
Thanks, if enough people want it, sure. Can you drop Klispch an email? I will reach out to them too if enough people ask for it.
Finally. Many thanks
Decided to go for the rp8000f after listening to kefs, bw, ca and all the regulars. By far the best choice.
Thanks again Thomas. I I’ll be replacing some old JBL’s that have EV horns in them. With the Klipsh 8000 F’s was just waiting to see what your take on them was. As always you seem to have come up with the best and most definitive last words on the subject! I hope I have a good enough front end to do them justice in my McIntosh
Well if you have some old JBL horns, I don't think a 8000F will be an upgrade for you. For me, an upgrade is 2 levels up at least. These are still consider budget line.
Went from the MA bronze 1 to the Klipsch RP-160M (I'm 15 so couldn't afford the RP600(they cost almost 900 USD here in Norway.) paired with a Hegel HD11 and NAD D3045. And to be honest, I totally agree that the RP line Klipsch's are really fun listening to. You're one of the reasons I decided to buy the RP-160M. They're not sharp at all (a lot of people complain about Klipsch speakers being sharp) They're incredibly loud, Still maintain their "fullness" and doesn't get tinny/or sharp when you turn them up. Yet to break them in so can't judge them, wish they went a little lower (even though I've got a SVS PB-1000). But their bass is quite impressive down to 40 Hz. Keep up your work man, really enjoy your content. Cheers from Norway :)
Thanks for the feedback.
I bet this system sounds killer.
I have my 8000 RF connected to Audio quest 14 gauge pure copper wire no bananas and Sydney's Rca connectors on a Bie wired fashion Awesome sound clarity and datails
ANOTHER GREAT REVIEW THANKS
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Thomas! Greetings from New Zealand! Just ordered a pair of RP-8000f's a hour ago, after watching your video. Been considering it for a while, but your wife reaction, convinced me its the way to go! :) Crossing fingers they work well with my 12-watt tube amp!
Haha..but don't you guys pay crazy shipping charges at NZ? I was driving the klipsch with a 200w class D amp so I really hope the 12w tube amp can do it! Remember to give it a lot of time to break in.
Just got them! 98db they go super loud. Sounded horrible straight out the box, but everything started to gel after a couple of hours. Happy days!
@@scubalbany Nice, give it about 50 to 100 hours. (Well not playing at low volume) The top end will smoothen out and the bass will get tighter.
Thomas great review, thank you. Are the 8000 detailed ? Like close to focal details ? Thanks
The smile on your face says all we need to know. Try them with tube gear if you haven't already. My upgraded Klipsch Forte II with my Primaluna Dialogue Premium gear is outstanding. Makes me smile just like you. Thanks for the review as always
Yeah, I need to get myself some tube gears again. I sold everything and I regret it. Yup, you can just tell with my big smile :)
Thomas great video as always.
Thanks Felix
Thomas & Stereo ur welcome buddy.
Thank you for the comparison. I currently have a pair of RP-4000F which I love. Would the RP-600M be upgrade at all? Already have a subwoofer.
My gf loves the Pink/Nate duet. I have heard it 4 times in the last month. I have it going through 2 canton le290/2 klipsch rp160m/svspb12/klipsch sw112 and a onkyo nr709/sr603 zone2. The vocals are top notch.
That was a very good review.
I have both, the 8000's are awesome! VERY picky on placement and amplification, and correct they scale really well. I improved Base definition by leaning foam wall treatment at a 45deg angle against the speakers rear port.
Hola, valen la pena comprar los RP600M?
Hey Thomas, very nice video, I really enjoy listening to you! I plan to buy the RP8000 along with the WXA50 should I buy a DAC aswell and if so, which one would you recommend?
Hey great review. I was thinking to have the R8000F with RP600M as surrounds as bookshelf speakers can be used as surround. Do you think its a good setup or would you recommend some other surround speakers, if so which one? Also, would you say if I get a good receiver it should give decent bass (with the built in woofers in R8000F) or subwoofer is necessary?
My endgame tower speakers
Nice review Thomas! I have a hard time imagining you rocking Pink in the middle of the night lol
Me too.lol.
Yes, I have had klipsch for years starting 1974... don't forget to stack them up. Then turn the volume up and she will join you dancing all night long!
Thanks for posting.
RP800F vs RF7III
Would love to here your thoughts on the RF7III
Another great vid, Thanks Thomas
Thanks, perhaps I can reach out to Klipsch and ask them to send me the RF7 if there is enough interest from others in this comment section.
Can you drop Klispch an email? I will reach out to them too if enough people ask for it.
Comparing the 8000f vs the RF7iii vs the Polk lsim 707 would be a crazy good comparison
It’ll let you see how the klipsch sound improves within their line and how they compare to the Polk lsim which was in the same price bracket.
@perl man The Polk LSIM 707's are very good. But I think the RF 7 III's are absolutely astonishing!!! I'll be asking Klipsch to send Thomas a pair for review, meanwhile over the past months I've posted a few videos demonstrating the RF 7 III's performance. If you like, please check them out. Cheers.
ruclips.net/video/M7_zMnd0p9I/видео.html
@perl man Agreed. I'd say it all depends on personal preferences and budget😏. But like you, I did a lot of research before settling on the RF 7III's.
If you click on the image on the top left it should take you to the channel where I have a few videos of the RF 7III's performing in my space. Enjoy.
Great video once again! And would you pick these or the heresy 4?
So Thomas what were the other two speakers that gave you that feeling?
Hi, I am looking at the video and learned a lot of things. I have many questions because I wanted to hear your opinion about which speakers to get under a budget of $3000. I am living in a 34pyeong apartment now, but I am worried about choosing the appropriate speakers for the living room. Because I'm flowered in Klipsch.. I'd like to hear which one you recommend!
Thank you
I respect you as a reviewer because you are not snobbish towards Polk Audio LSiM. Many audiophiles dismiss them regardless of price. But these speakers go toe to toe with many others. As an all rounder, and at the current price, it's impossible to beat. You get a lot of speaker for very little $$. And that is a value that you may not beat in a lifetime. Sure you can spend a lot more and get a better speaker but value wise,. this beats everything out there. I paid $1050 for my pair from Adorama, shipped. I will never part with my pair even though i have other more 'higher' end speakers and brands audiophiles would much rather pay attention too. I am keeping these till the drivers rot.
Thanks, and I can tell you the better frontend gear you give it, the better it will scale.
Hi Thomas love your videos you offer so much information. My question is have you tried these with the willsenton R8 or does it not have enough power to drive them ? Thx in advance
Thanks, I have not but I doubt the R8 will not have enough power to drive it.
Ahhh I am so excited you got these speakers ☺️ thanks for a solid review man. Always top quality. I have a Yamaha receiver and was blown away at how well Klipsch and Yamaha pair. I'd be very curious what you think of the heritage line
Yeah, maybe I will reach out to them eventually for other lines.
@@ThomasAndStereo I hope they send you them man. I'm a part of a Klipsch group on Facebook and from what I hear the rf7s and the Cornwalls are two incredible sounding speakers
Your reviews are awesome Thomas. I have something for you to experiment, just try music with surround - its a different world - if you have not tried them already? And post that You could use RP600M as your surround left and right :) - Let me know what you think?
3:35 This is the exact setup I have in my living room now (WXA-50 and RP600M). I decided to get the WXA-50 instead of something bigger because for the price, it measured really well on this website called Audio Science Review. I really like the sound and how flexible it is. I even tried it with less efficient KEF Q150 that I bought for my office and they sounded, to my surprise, even better (based on my taste/preferences).
yup, I mentioned about that audioscience website in the Zu video. Check it out.
hi Thomas, you are a big fan of KEF, when you try the Q950 and compare agaist this Klipsch? thank you
Another great time listening to your thoughts and stories Thomas! Props on step-in up the video quality and shots. I really enjoyed the one big shot of the front setup panning down.. good stuff man.
I have been going back and forth on this same question all year debating between the RP600M due to all the reviews and from some short listening sessions but in the back of my mind I always wondered if bigger would mean better.
I ultimately got lucky enough to hear the 8000F and was blown away but also missed that instrument separation and detail of the RP600M just like you did. So what to do? I purchased the RP 4000F! It seems to be the forgotten child of the lineup because I bought them for an absolute steal brand new, less than the RP600Ms!
I am hoping it will l split the difference and give me that just right Goldilocks experience. I have to admit I am worried that the small drivers may hold it back but the small cabinet for a floor stander really intrigued me and it goes deeper than the RP600M, with maybe even more control due to the small drivers? Thats the hope anyway still need to set up this week hopefully I'll let you know! Keep up the great work it doesn't go unnoticed. Glad you are sticking with it!
Yes, please let me know and appreciate the well-written comment.
O my, loooovvveeee those deeeep cabinets.
Hi Thomas. Thank you for that video!
I did By-Amp them. Big different then, better and stronger. But i miss really the middles.
My setup: Yamaha RX-A 3080 - Denon POA 2800 - Setup 9.1. Subwoofer is a Boston Accoustic SW10.
My own made 3-Way-Speaker have more "clearance".
BTW, by unboxing --> open top and bottom, so you can push it out of the box. ;o)
By from Roly - switzerland.
I also feel that my RB81ii are missing mid's. I purchased a center speaker - rp504c and now I can hear mids finally. Maybe a smaller woofer is better in this regard?
I tried the Klipsch Rp280s without Bi wiring, i didn't like the sound as much as when i did Bi wired them. Separated the instruments, then recently Bi Amped them. Crossovered at 80hrz sent bass to sub, 300watts just feeds the highs n mids. Like it way more now, but also made some dyi wires ofc 12 awg x 3.
Amazing sound to me. Enjoy.
I have the smaller ones here in this video with an Onkyo receiver, along with a Polk Audio 10 for the lows. And blown away at how good they sound. I started small, i see so many love/hate reviews on Klipsh speakers. I guess this is one of thoses brands its either you like them or you hate them. Overall, they sound good. They can be a little harsh on the high end, but toe them in a little bit helps with that.
I like smaller towers and 2 subs for the reason why we explained they sound more open instrument wise
I absolutely love my RP8000F! Glad you like them too. They really do make music fun and enjoyable to listen to! Without any of that old shouty/fatiguing Klipsch sound, that many still think of when they hear about Klipsch.
Ps My goal for getting new speakers was to find something smaller and more design friendly than my old ones, but ending up buying these that are even larger because they sound so well! Haha!
Haha...yeah I know what you mean. If only I had a bigger house...
Thanks heaps for the detailed review Thomas!! Which sound did you prefer more between the IOTAVX stack or Yamaha WXA50 with the Klipsch's?
I like it with the WXA50 more BUT with an external DAC.
he is one of best reviewer on the net, because he gets to point with short video
I’d love to hear about your impressions of Danny Richie’s GR-Research mods for the Klipsch RP-600M speakers if you ever get a chance to hear them. Keep up the fine work!
Yeah, me too! I was drooling when I saw that video!
Can someone out there PLEASE send Thomas a pair of GR-Research-modded RP-600M’s to review? 😊
I've listen to Danny Richie on GR research on the RP 8000f's and I'm confused here's why.
Danny stated the Rp 8000f has a big hole in the middle, tweeter and woofers don't crossover correctly.
But Audioholics Gene D. had his team do the measurements and stated they were awesome. So I'm not sure who to believe, but going on my Sales experience 26yrs. Danny does sell kits, he does state some truth about price pts speaker companies want to hit a exact price pt on each speaker. So cutting costs is the way to get there.
Great job!!! I owned a pair of klipsch rp8000 and I wonder if you had any integrated amp in mind with ht bypass that could match with my speakers. My budget is not over 2000€. I’m sooo confused!!!
Hi Thomas i got myself a kanta n2 and yes it sounded much brighter than my current Kef R700 which i like it been burning it throughout the weekends
It will eventually tone down the brightness but it will still be way more than the R700. Congrats.
Probably a crazy question, but any thoughts to these compared with the Tekton DI? Klipsch much more in the budget and I've wanted them for a while. I'm also seriously intrigued about the tekton, just not sure if additional price would be easy to realize
Just subscribe man you get me pumped I haven’t yet bought something Iam on a budget any recommend speakers with amp under $1000
Check out my video on what speaker to buy. Thanks.
Hello, what wall stands do you jave at 1:43 and will those fit the rp600m in that 90 degrees position? Thanks!
Hello Thomas, thanks for the excellent review.
Am considering these speakers to go with my Marantz model 30 amplifier. Buying them online, hence cannot audition them before buying.
Would it be a good match for this amp? My genre of music is Classic rock, jazz, blues....
Thanks in advance.
I personally like it but keep in mind it does have a V curve so the positive is it is very lively and fun, the downside is not all instruments in the presentation will have the same presence. I have not heard the Model 30 so I don't know its sound signature.
Thank you for the comparaison ! Do you think the RP-6000F would be the perfect mittle ground ?
Its hard to say cause the problem with speakers is that the performance is not necessary linear.
Did you have a chance to pair them with the Zen triode I was curious you didn't name the amp that you felt was unsuccessful
Great video and useful info too. How would you rate the Klipsch Reference Series R-620F? I find that there is low volume of bass with these and i needed to add a sub. Should these put out more than im experiencing or they more aimed at the sound of the mids and highs? Thanks
Thanks, I have never heard the R620F.
Thomas, I am looking to purchase the klipsch RP 8000 and 600m set for home theater. Looking for a receiver with pre-out for future addon. Meanwhile, thinking about Denon 3700H or a cheaper Onkyo TXRZ730. Which of the 2 would you think matches better with the klipsch? Or any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.
“I see my wife going, Thomas, what the hell you doing?” Awesome
That might be a good Thing
Thomas, I have a home theater with an acoustically transparent screen, I have two svs subwoofers that I am very happy with, as well as 2 klipsch r-26f floor standing, keeping in mind the subwoofers are a very flat response and integrate seamlessly with a lot of speakers, should I go with the klipsch rp600m as my left right and center? my room is only 12 by 18 feet, would it even be worth getting the floorstanding?
Budget speakers nowadays aren't made in house but are built off-country to specifications with lower labor costs. Snobs might consider these to be more ephemeral than the in-house built ones.
After seeing this video I ordered Rp8000F ..thanks
How are they?
These are excellent for Home Theater. You will need to power them with a more layered amplifier like Anthem. I have an Anthem Statement P5 on RF82s, RC52, and RS62II on the surrounds. Also RF42IIs for surround back with a smaller amp. The P5 is very layered and silky and you'll need a sub for H.T. Best sub for H.T. is SVS and match the crossover settings with the parametric equalizer on the SVS. I use a 13 Ultra. I don't hold Klipsch as much for 2 channel as I do for H.T. For music go for something else.
Also for spl efficiency, Klipsch definitely fudges that stat. They are not as efficient as Klipsch claims. The 8000F is on my replacement list for the RF82s. Everything else stays the same. An upgrade would be Paradigm Prestige. Hope this helps.
Can you compare it with rf 7 iii. I want to see if in its own class and worth 1700k a piece
Where did you get your audio shelf??
Cambridge CXA81 with RP8000F sound so lound and clear! I really like my audio system now, and its sounds " bright " , i like it better then the really expensive audio that are to "correct" sounding..
careful with your hearing though, tinnitus is a real bitch
Hi there,
I’m looking at purchasing these to go with SPL-150. Would this be overkill bass wise? Should I just stick to 6000f instead since my bass is being taken care of the subwoofer? Horns are identical to both models so just missing out on bass being produced by 8” woofers. Thanks.
Hey Thomas, how would these compare both RP models, to the LS50W? Thinking of grabbing something for an NYC apartment. Currently don't own any front end so that's something i'm considering
Not sure your budget or preference style but I like my Klipsch 280f paired with the Yamaha aventage 880 which is laid back. Be prepared for long break in period and hard time getting room correction and placement exactly how you like it unless you're more skilled with it than I was.
Last week JBL had the studio 570 for $200 each. I thought that was a good buy so my brother bought a pair. I have the 580 and they're pretty good, too.
Elac ub5 is neutral, kinda boring in my opinion but easy to listen to for long periods of time.
You might find something you like better. I recommend cheap audio man if you're budget is tight.
Can you provide more details on your speaker mounts and stands? I love them and am looking for some.
They are from amazon the home theater mounts on the side. The stand mounts stand are BBC stands but from 20 years ago.
Awesome video as always still been blow away with the bel cantos.
Ah Sylvain, enjoy them as I really liked them too.
@@ThomasAndStereo I took another 2 days off
@@godssoldier597 man, having fun with the bel cantos 🤣
@@ThomasAndStereo 7 to 9 hours of music since friday
What are your thoughts compared to the acoustic energy 309's or 509's?
How does it compare to a b&w 800d3 series? I know it's a lot of price difference but I'm in the running for one of both.
"fun" seems to be a universal modifier when talking about Klipsch. I know Guttenberg loves them! I'm thinking about a pair of the 600Ms for my 2nd system but will need to get them modded to take care of resonance and get better capacitors, etc.
Hi Thomas! Are you using the VideoSecu speaker mounts for the speakers on the wall in this video? Those speakers look pretty large, did you screw them in or use velcro or anything or just the stock Mount clamped in?
www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B004DCAOHK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I screw them into a beam as my speakers are heavy.
Hi Thomas, I'm new to the hifi scene and I'm building my first 5.1 setup. I'm currently looking at the 8000f as my main speakers and I have one quick question, does it pair well with the Denon X1600H?
Sorry need heard that Denon
Hi there my friend has a plan to pair 8000s with Rotel RA-14. Do you think its a good match?
I want to buy them for listening to music on a 2.0 setup hooked to an anthem integrated 225 amp... for their price, I can't find anything better. Is their any advice to keep me from pulling the trigger on these?
Hi Thomas,
I’m wondering if the RP600M would sound good on a vintage Kenwood KR 7600 receiver. I hope to replace the big old floor speakers from the late 70s early 80s. The receiver has been refreshed ,for many more years. Thanks for your time.
Thanks for the question but I never tried it with vintage gear so I don't know.
RP280F vs RP8000F since both are bluetooth wireless, which would be more future proof for compatibility with others into a full HT system?
Thank you Thomas for the review.
I will buy Klipsch set of speakers in a month or two.
8000F
504C
502S
SPL 150
I bought Marantz SR7013 already.
Can't wait to set all up.
Nice!
Hi Thomas, how the 8000F going with Rotel - 1065?
I've had both the 8000f and 600m as well. I noticed the same thing about the 8000f not disappearing into the room as much as I would've liked. The 600m disappeared much more. I was very happy with the 8000f except for that part, I'm having to decide on what's more important to me between the disappearance of the 600m and the mids/bass of the 8000f.
Hi Richel H are you saying that the 600m disappeared when being played ? And how wide is their sweet spot. Thanks
@@hughd7636 Hey Hugh, yes all the music played through the 600m imaged better, at no time can I tell the music is coming from a speaker, it's all coming from the background/air. I could move all around the room and maintain that so it has very big sweet spot. Where as with the 8000f, unless I was sitting dead center I could notice much more the music was coming from the left/right speaker.
I'm between these two. My main problem is the room. It's big but it's an apartment. I'll be listening to mid level volume music. The 8000 looks huge. Wich is better at low volume? the 8000 or the 600m plus a subwoofer?
Cool, I just bought a pair of the Open box RP-160M for $336 to play around with ... I haven't heard Klipsch speakers in almost 20 years !
I wonder if they have the old or new klipsch sound. Give it time to break in.
@@ThomasAndStereo Apparently they are the "newer" sound more laid back, almost identical to the newer RP600M minus the vented tweeter..
When are you going to review the Zu Audio Dirty Weekend MkII speaker? It is very popular. Is the blue Zu in the video an Omen?
