The RP-8000F II is Klipsch's second-generation Reference Premiere floorstander, a two-and-a-half-way tower built around a 1-inch titanium LTS tweeter in a 90° x 90° silicon composite Tractrix horn and dual 8-inch spun-copper woofers. The larger horn and updated crossover aim for a wider soundstage and smoother high-frequency response than the first RP-8000F. Its high sensitivity means modest amplifiers drive it to loud levels easily, which suits home theater and rock-friendly two-channel setups. Against rivals like the Polk R700 or Wharfedale Evo 4.4, it is more efficient and more forward in the treble, a character some listeners love and others find bright.

Owners and reviewers generally rate the RP-8000F II highly for dynamics, efficiency and movie impact. Many praise the wide soundstage and clean detail; a recurring complaint is that the treble can sound bright or harsh on some recordings and in lively rooms.
The Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-8000F II is a floorstanding speaker. Its tweeter sits in a 90° x 90° hybrid Tractrix horn made of silicon composite. The horn focuses high frequencies toward the listening area.
The Tractrix horn geometry is designed to transfer high-frequency waves efficiently into the room. A phase plug and a compressed molded silicon face help keep the frequency response smooth. This second-generation design uses a larger horn for a larger soundstage and better directivity.
The tweeter has a titanium diaphragm and Linear Travel Suspension (LTS), which is designed to minimize distortion. The tweeter is also vented.
