RP-8000F II Floorstanding Speaker 25% off - 1st sale for RP line

$674.00

RP 8000F is now $674 = 25% off $899 per speaker

Recently introduced revision to the Reference Premiere line of Klipsch speakers are now on sale at 25% off. This is the first sale for the new RP line since it's been released 3-4 months ago. I predict this is within $100 of Black Friday / Christmas pricing. The RP-8000F has been positively reviewed (i.e. Audioholics.com and Andrew Robinson on YouTube) and represents a tremendous value. Other RP models are also discounted (I.e. RP600M ii etc…) The mark ii update features a more neutral frequency response which should appeal to an even wider audience. Available from Klipsch.com, Crutchfield, and other authorized dealers.

RP-600M ii is now $572 per pair = 25% off of $749
RP-500M ii is now $449 per pair = 25% off of $599

The RP-600m (not the Rp-600m II) is still on sale for $300. The reviewers say the new version sounds better overall, but I wonder if it's something that can be fixed with some EQ.

Sure would be nice to save $272 and get the first version.

I think the blowout pricing on the original RP line are "super slick" in terms of value for the dollar. The one model where I would seriously consider getting the version ii over the previous generation is the RP 8000F. The Previous gen had huge hole in the frequency response that they fixed with an new crossover design. This should allow for more placement flexibility and a more balanced sound. If you're gonna be stuck with a speaker for several years or more… I'd say pay a little more to have the better speaker.

Hopefully im not wrong but i ordered them through best buy for the same price. I got some rewards back, i've been keeping an eye on the price and this is the lowest ive seen them since i started (not to long ago).

We just recently went full send and finally purchased a sound system.

(I know these sales are expired, but for pricing comparison on what you can get in the future. All of these were retail prices after tax excluding the towers we purchased locally)

Prices After Tax:
Center - Klipsch 504c - 297.29 (Adorama) (expired)
R/L - Klipsch RP-8000f - 600 for pair (local classifieds)
Surrounds - Klipsch RP-600m - 321.74 (Adorama) - https://slickdeals.net/share/iphone_app/t/15982438
Subwoofer - Klipsch 121sw - 444 (Best Buy, Open Box)
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/klip...lsrc=aw.ds
Receiver - Denon 6050 - 471.89 (Costco)(Goes on sale frequently)
https://slickdeals.net/f/15948727-costco-members-onkyo-tx-nr6050-7-2-channel-av-receiver-440-free-shipping?attrsrc=search%3Aterm%3AOnkyo%7Csearch%3Apage%3A1%7Csearch%3Aposition%3A1%7Csearch%3Aresult_type%3Athread%7Csearch%3Aresult_id%3A15948727&src=SiteSearchV2Algo1

I LOVE the 8000's.. they're absolutely incredible. And although we got a screaming deal from classifieds on them.. knowing what I know now I would for sure buy them at this price, too. They have such great sound and depth and just really, really special. If you're on the fence at all, I would just send it and you'll regret nothing. I like that the magnetic cover is really nice and can be removed/replaced easily.

I also enjoy the 600's and you can't go wrong there.. but I would definitely recommend spending the extra monies on the towers. The bookshelves are great.. but just the towers are so awesome. I can't recommend them enough! Hope it helps one of y'all purchase these and change your viewing experience exponentially 😍

Overall I think you've got a great system. Congrats and I hope you enjoy it!
In the future, you may want to look at upgrading the subwoofer. The Klipsch subs aren't the greatest value right now, and the Monolith V-10 V2 would have left you with better sound (but it wouldn't match that copper Klipsch like the rest of your system Wink. Of course, you could always add a 2nd sub down the road too.

Appreciate the comment!! It's been STELLAR.. I had no idea just normal tv shows could be so awesome. Haha. Like the subtle transition bass moments is amazing on normal tv shows. We just watched Interstellar and the music+bass from ships was incredible. Thanks for affirming we made good picks!! It's always been too overwhelming for me to send it since there are SO MANY OPTIONS.. 😅


I definitely had some apprehensions with the sub.. but for the price and being able to get it immediately shipped was a deal maker for us. Plus whenever we get our basement finished maybe then I can add the second one like ya mentioned 🤣 Is it really needed!? I feel like this bass shakes our home already haha and I love it. Probably need some tweaking to get the voice to bass radio better, but it's unreal awesome already. Can't imagine what a more expensive sub would do 😂

The original post is for floorstanding as well as bookshelf speakers, if you look at the list of items on sale. The post you replied to is clearly for the RP-600m though, which are bookshelf speakers.

I've seen reviews, they say the crossover is different in the new speakers and they're tuned a little differently. If it was a difference of $100 or so I'd get the new ones. The reviewer said it's very noticeable.

Once you get used to your system and are looking to become a future audiophile, you'll want to upgrade the weakest components of the system first, because you'll get the most improvement for your money that way. In the system you've laid out, the weakest component is the subwoofer.

The Klipsch one you have provides bass, and will shake things around for sure. The difference between it, and higher end subwoofers is that the response of the higher end subs will be tighter, have a more linear sound profile, and achieve lower frequencies. That probably all sounds like garbalygook to someone who hasn't experienced high quality bass, so I can explain a bit further.

A tight/quick subwoofer response will punch you in chest when that shotgun is fired in the movie. A cheaper sub is slower and will sound a bit "boomy" or "muddy" or "rumbly" with the same gunshot.
A more linear sound profile means that the sub will change frequencies smoothly. For example, as a truck drives away, and the sound slowly goes deeper. A cheap sub might cut out, or get louder or more quiet suddenly at certain frequencies. To understand what I mean, you can sing "do re me fa so la ti do", but make one or two of the notes louder or quieter than the others.
Achieving lower frequencies means just that. The higher quality subwoofers can get down below what you can even hear, and you feel the effect because it isn't even audible. They pressurize a room and really immerse you in the movie or music in an emotional way.

Hopefully those explanations help. I have the Monolith 16" sub in my home theater basement. It's total overkill, but it puts a smile on my face every time I watch a great action movie. If I were you, I would NOT get 2 subs before I got rid of the Klipsch and upgraded to something better first in the 12" or larger size. Monolith, SVS, REL, RSL, ELAC, JL, Rythmik and several others ALL make great subs!
