Klipsch 2-Way Black Reference Series Floorstanding Loudspeaker

RF83 BLACK SPEAKER (Black)

A force to be reckoned with, the Reference Series RF-83 floorstander sets a new standard in both sound and style. With its high-end materials and slender design, this flagship tower delivers unrivaled audio performance for those who demand the very best. The demise of compromise is at hand.

What's Inside

The best of the best, the Klipsch Reference Series speakers represent the pinnacle of high-performance consumer loudspeakers. At the heart of these speakers is the same compression driver technology used in Klipsch professional cinema speakers. Their extraordinary design, featuring a Tractrix Horn and Cerametallic Cones, delivers clarity, efficiency, power handling, freedom from distortion, and reliability that sets new standards for home speaker systems. High-quality internal wiring is used to ensure superior connection from the voice coils all the way to the electronics. The RF-83 is a loudspeaker that truly lets you hear through to the original performance, to experience every detail and feel all the emotion.

Tractrix What?

Tractrix Horns have always been the key component of this critically acclaimed series. In the RF-83, this technology has been refined to include improved throat geometry for a more genuine, lifelike sound. Molded into a sculpted, low-diffraction baffle, the RF-83's 8-inch Tractrix Horn tweeter delivers effortlessly detailed midrange and treble. The Tractrix Horn's carefully calculated flare dramatically increases driver efficiency, allowing production of very high sound levels with minimal amplifier power and no strain or distortion. It also controls the sound's directivity (90 degrees horizontal x 60 degrees vertical dispersion), ensuring excellent coverage of the listening area while minimizing detail-obscuring reflections off of walls, floor, and ceiling. Fed by a smooth, accurate 1.25" titanium-dome tweeter, the Tractrix Horn is the key to the vibrantly realistic, emotionally compelling Klipsch Sound Experience.

Bass To Brag About

So much more than just a pretty face, the RF-83'S rugged, TRIPLE Cerametallic Cone woofers with massive, video-shielded magnets generate deep, powerful bass. Their distinctive anodized-aluminum -- and oh-so-pretty -- copper-colored cones exhibit a very high stiffness-to-mass ratio and superb damping characteristics that translate to outstanding responsiveness and near-total absence of resonance and breakup. The result is quick, clean, articulate low-frequency reproduction. Rigid cast frames -- far superior to conventional stamped-steel baskets -- maintain perfect alignment of the large, high-temperature voice coils. Beauty and beast, all in one speaker, yes!

Better Heard And Seen

These loudspeakers are finished in luxurious hardwood veneers and constructed, like all Reference Series models, to the highest standard throughout. From the drivers to the cabinets to the crossovers, cabling, and electronics, everything is built to deliver maximum performance for many years to come. Capable of filling any room with rich, full-range sound, the elegant, wood-veneered RF-83 is a tasteful complement to other furniture. It stands out in performance and blends in to your decor.
