What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Klipsch RP-8000F Floorstanding Speaker (Ebony)

They are well built, good looking and a very good addition to my audio addiction. Great size and weight.
Absolutely love these speakers! Aside from the incredible sound, they also look amazing and it looks compact in my room!
Not only do these look fantastic in my room and are the perfect size, they are surprisingly powerful and also detailed in sound.
These are well-made, heavy, great-sounding speakers. I would recommend for a home theater system.
First thing I noticed when I got them was they are very big and heavy which really upset me.

Klipsch RF-7 III Floorstanding Speaker - each (Cherry)

Despite its heavy weight, the speaker looks quite compact next to the TV.
Very good speakers, playing fairly bright and detail, they are not big.
These are REALLY big. Make sure you have a strong marriage before dropping these in the living room.
The speaker is bulky and heavy so you need help installing it.
Most of all I was upset about its weight, which hurt my back.

What customers say about "Audio"

Klipsch RP-8000F Floorstanding Speaker (Ebony)

The mid and highs are beautiful. You don’t need a lot of power to drive them as they are amazingly efficient.
The speakers sound pretty good, cabinet seems decent quality. Sound is maybe a touch bright.
Big sound, very crisp, strong base even without added subwoofer. A few tweeks of the preamp and these babies did what I wanted.
The mid level was impressive. They are very detailed you hear everything.
These sound super clear and natural the best high level sound I've heard from a speaker.

Klipsch RF-7 III Floorstanding Speaker - each (Cherry)

These are beautiful sounding speakers- a big clear sound which I will be driving with a Crestron SWAMP 24x8.
I could hear every nuance of every instrument driven at 150 watts all the way down to a low volume. I was very impressed.
Speakers are great. The dual 10’ drivers are what I was looking for. High band and twitter is acceptable.
Agility is good and over sound quality are good and warm. Surprisingly sensitive for all bands even during night at whisper volume.
The bass is strong and powerful with the dual 10" woofers, pairing perfectly with the Klipsch RC-64 II center and the R-115SW subwoofers for well rounded bass.

What customers say about "Features"

Klipsch RP-8000F Floorstanding Speaker (Ebony)

The Klipsch just outperforms all of them. The bass is room thumping; I do have a velodyne sub, but it’s not really necessary and I have it on minimum setting.
The rp 8000f’s faithfully reproduces every note. You can hear Paul Desmond’s sax and joe morellos brushes on the drums as if you were there live.
These speakers are exactly what I was looking for! Very musical and detailed, with the "authority" only a larger speaker can deliver - even at low volume.
I love the build quality and how they look. I keep the grills on; while I do like the look of the drivers, I prefer the understated "blend in" look in my living room. They use durable material.
The connectors in the back are a major annoyance. The indentation where the terminals are, are fairly tight and its hard to get wires fed through if you have larger hands - was very annoying.

Klipsch RF-7 III Floorstanding Speaker - each (Cherry)

These speakers are perfect for a Dolby Atmos, DTS-X or Auro 3D setup, to make your home theater a movie theater! Clean powerful sound. It is invigorating.
The looks of the copper spun woofers and grains of the wood work in black look great, further drawing attention to the impressive woofers.
The RF-7 III has the clear treble, the heavy and punchy bass, and above all else, the enormous sound stage and presence. The sound is very immersive and all encompassing.
They sounded good. Nice bass response and great imaging.
Incredible sound. Great bass. The horn is detailed, yet you can listen to them for long periods of time.
