I bought my original RP setup in 2018 from Paducah Home Theater, much respect to Cory, Steven (Scrappy Doo) and Team. I think they are experts when it comes to Klipsch.

That being said, the only way to convince someone to buy the next and newest model is to provide reasons why it is better than the old. My understanding is that Reference Premier is several steps ahead of standard Reference. However, I've listened to Reference Premier Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 3 and I cannot tell the difference other than the appearance has changed, I cannot tell the sonic difference between a vented tweeter and a non-vented tweeter. Those with super sonic hearing, I'm sure can tell the difference, but honestly you will be paying 30-50% more for only a 5% gain, it's not worth to me personally. Price being equal, yes buy the Gen 3 always, but paying that much more for only a minor gain doesn't seem worth it.

I've listened to all three also and I would agree, the difference was subtle at best.

Placement would probably make a bigger difference.

If there was an issue(s) it's either still there or never there.

Agreed on all. I also have had these for several years from the same source. It's amazing how cheap we paid for them back then.

These are a great price and great quality.

FANTASTIC DEAL on the 8000's & the 600m's in Piano black..

Can't go wrong w/ the 8000's at $698 a pair!!
Wellll… I got the RP-280FA (last generation of these + atoms speakers on top) for $320 each a few years back. Although we have had absurd inflation since then, so this is actually a fantastic deal. TU

Might have to check, but I think the 8000Fs replaced the 280Fs.
That's exactly right, these are the latest model. I started my dedicated home theater with a pair of the Rp-280FAs (Same speakers but with integrated upfiring Atmos speakers on the tops) in 2018 and they still anchor my setup today. Awesome movie speakers I must say! I went cheaper on my center and surround initially.. but this hobby is a sickness, so ended up eventually upgrading everything to match in the Reference Premier line (RP-450C, 2x RP-240S surrounds and a pair of 2x RP-250S as height speakers). Didn't stick with the Klipsch subs after some years got a pair of SVS PB-2000s a year ago and just did Buttshaker transducers in all my seats a few months back. NEVER going to a movie theater again haha.

That was an absurdly good price! I got my RP-280FAs at $450 each in 2018 and that was a pretty decent deal at the time (Was same price as the RP-280F, so figured why not?). Ended up wiring the Atmos up firing speakers into a new AVR a year later and wow am I glad I got the FAs!

Why does Adorama not price match their deal on Amazon? Adorama is the seller but the 50 off discount isn't applied. That's a shame.

Asking as someone fairly new to this whole area what combination of the above speakers would be best for a 5.1.4 or 7.1.4 dolby Atmos home theater system. I understand this doesn't have a sub or center speaker so any suggestions there would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you're after object based soundtracks, I would suggest 1st figuring out which layout/configuration you want/works for you.
They vary in quality and proper setup is critical for each for optimal performance.

https://www.dolby.com/about/suppo...ker-setup/

I would start by building a good 5.1(2) and build from there.

Most will point to the 504c as a center.

As for a sub I would suggest something from SVS/Monolith and depending on the size of your layout, might warrant two subs.

I would get the newer version set of RP8060 FA !! deal that sells for 1499 at adorma posted a week ago here on sd. that's 5.1.2. add Rp 500SA from this sale and you get a good 5.1.4 for 1800 some.
