WOW!! 2 subwoofers?!!? Nice set up!! :) I was lucky enough to inherit my uncle's Klipsch tower speakers which were top of the line back in the 80's when he bought them. They're one of my most prized possessions. I absolutely love the sound of them. So I can only imagine what Klipsch's high end speakers 30 years later sound like. Maybe some day I'll be able to experience that, but in the mean time I'm in musical bliss every time I get to listen to my music through these wonderful speakers. Klipsch rocks!

+Tick Tock ..... Dude I bought 5 of the RCX-4's (Centers) 2014 models a while back when a company was selling due to old stock..... Paid $60 each, but now I wish that I could have bought more of them at the time. They are absolutely awesome even though they are a Center Speaker, but can be run as mains also cos of the power handling. So you can't go wrong for buying the new edition unit, just the price will bork a few people until they realise their worthiness. I hope I can get something as good or better myself soon, even that set would be the last I'd ever have to purchase. Though might be time until I get my money aside to purchase them.

I have the same Klipsch computer speakers with subwoofer and surround that I purchased over 6 years ago and still ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM! Have not disappointed me at any point in time.

Sets up an $8000 speaker system, then makes a 6 minute video about it WITHOUT letting us hear it. Brilliant sir................just brilliant!

Sure that let's you tell the difference between good and bad sound, but you still won't hear the details that make up a different speakers unique tonality, so hearing them through KZread's compression would simply be satisfying a few people's emotional urge. No professional speaker reviewer demos sound for this reason.

I've been using Klipsch for years now and have always been happy with the sound. I have 3 different sets of their speaker systems and they've all performed well for my uses. All my music and movies sound great on them.

I like them I got this at home and it is awesome. the first day I set it and cranked it up you can literally feel the bass all the way to the street

Thank you for this sweet to the point review. I was thinking of picking up a set of the RF-82 ll but after seeing more of these new Premiere series, I think I will go after a variation of this set instead. (I'll opt for wall mounted versus the floors for the rear, and I'm not doing the Atmos setup) Cheers!

I have exactly this setup minus a second R-115W and it's AWESOME!!!!! I dare to say even better than going to the cinema. Hell, even better than Dolby Cinema! I also got the Klipsch Atmos modules going on. 😁

Why oh why do people continue to separate sub units. Anything below about 130HZ is omnidirectional. Take a lesson from professional sound engineers at a big concert. The many subs & infra subs are placed just in front of the stage, usually starting at the centre working their way outwards. They dont usually place subs either side, under the line arays.

@graciousSenor

I've never liked the look of symmetry in that way. Some people want them asymmetrical.

That's actually a great price. BTW if anyone out there has a wider room, you can increase horizontal dispersion and decrease phasing by standing the center channel on end. The best sounding thing to do is to have a center channel speaker match the main left and right speakers, but you would have to have the space for that.

Amazon has a klipsch bundle for $2695 I plan on buying it next year honestly sounds like freaking sweet deal to me seriously can’t wait to get it .

Love Klipsch! I will get this set up in the future.

I can only imagine how bright that system sounds. Titanium horn loaded tweeter with solid state electronics and all those hard surfaces can't be a good combination. I'm currently using a pair of KLF-10's with Crites tweeters powered by an 8 watt 300b set tube amp and it sounds so much better than my Anthem MRX receiver. Same goes for the Klipsch La Scala's , KLF 30's and Heresy 2's

Hi Caleb, Can you please tell me what speaker stands you use with the RP-250S side surrounds? I just bought a set of RP-250S and really like the stands. You did a great job on this review! Todd

My theater will definitely house a Klipsch speaker system in the future. My current Infinity Kappas are aging and not entirely gracefully, but they're good enough for now. They'll have to last a couple more years until I can afford a Klipsch system anyway. This is mostly the system I want, but my room is relatively small, so I'd downsize the rear surrounds to match the sides, downsize the subs to 12s, and add 4 in ceiling speakers for full 7.4.2 Dolby Atmos and DTS X capability! That should still cost less than $5000, which is an absolute steal!

Looks like a great sounding set-up. What cables were you using to connect the speakers? I'm also assuming banana connections as well?

Looking at this inspires me to do better in life to get this kind of stuff.😎

are these good? my dads 30 year old paradigm towers sound amazing

anyone know which speaker stands are attached to rp250s

More like I remember Thanks so much Deb.✌👍

I just spent all my mula on this exact system, right now its DEC 12th and my company's profit sharing is coming up in couple of weeks and a new receiver is on my list, do you guys think SONY ES makes one that will drive all of these speakers?

I just bought a set in niiice shape for cheap hooked up to my ole school Sansui 4000 receiver they sound nice ,see alot of people on the forums knocking them i like the sound ,next a stout klipsch powered sub.

Great review. I would like to ask a question: can I combine a sealed subwoofer with a ported subwoofer, for example an SVS SB13 Ultra with an SVS PB13 Ultra? Thank you.

I have the same setup except for I have two r 112sw subwoofers in my living room that is about a quarter size of the room you have those in. My wife loves it lol

I see that you have your left and right front speakers and the subs next to them and I noticed you have one closer to the TV than one of the front speakers and one further away from the other front speaker. I have a 5.1.2 system and I have always heard different things as to where to place my sub, and that is with me just having one sub should I place it closer to the TV than my front speaker or should I place it further away from the tv than the front speaker, my concern is that if I place it closer to the TV than my front speaker is that it will drowned out the sound coming from the speaker next to it. If you have any advice on this issue I would like to hear about it. BTW I don't have a large living room which is why I'm not running a 7.2.4 system and for the size of my living room my sub is way overkill, it's a Klipsch reference 400watt 12" sub.

My dad has a Klishp 12 inch bass speaker, and those things pump some air if you have a good receiver

I like my adcom gfa 555's and reference six. Old school. What would I even want to change. Everyone has something they like and it works. I personally don't need 9 giant boxes scattered around the great room.

You guys just reviewed these legendary speakers in a god damn cafeteria which has absolutely no acoustic room treatment? DA HELL !!!

" The Klipsch already has a sparkly top end ". That is reviewer speak ( Klipsch loaned us these speakers and I don't want to piss them off) for brighter than they should be.

Hell, in my second system, my surrounds were $2000/pr in 1994 and my center channel is $2000 and my surround backs were $2000 new and my sub is 21 inches. I would call it a decent average setup.

What's the of the speaker stands you are using?

I would love to have that entire speaker system in my living room right now , even a demo set . I'm static , and disabled and I could REALLY use this system daily . Considering most of what I do is watch movies and play guitar . But I'm not a wealth guy . So , maybe one day I will get a used set , and redo em . Etc .

How does this system compare to the older Reference 7 System, RF7 front, FC7 Center, RB75 Surrounds, and RSW15 Sub?

Klipsch’s Reference Premiere system aims to deliver some serious bang for your buck. The technology behind some of its ultra-high-end speakers has trickled down to the Reference Premiere series, offering the company’s best sound for the dollar yet. The over-the-top system featured here runs $5500, and that includes towers in the rear surround position, which is completely unnecessary (but, hey, we were really going for it here!) We used the Klipsch RP-280F ($579/each) for the front left/right and rear surround channels, with dual 8-inch drivers and a 1-inch Tractrix Horn tweeter in each. For the center channel, we got the big boy: an RP-450C with four 5.25-inch drivers and 1-inch horn tweeter. The side surround channels were held down by the RP-250S, with dual 5.25-inch drivers and 1-inch tweeters each. And finally, LFE information was belted out by two gargantuan R-115SW subwoofers, with 15-inch drivers and 800-watts of power each. Total system weight- 480 pounds. Total system cost- $5500

I love my "RB-81's Mk I" !!! As far as i know, there are no other bookshelf ( ?? ) speakers with such dinamics in this range of prices. I bought'em used for 250eur in mint condicion, one y.a. and they play along with the great Pathos "Classic One Mk II". I shall replace the Klipsch caps for the much, much better Mundorf MCap EVO Oil Capacitors and the Mundorf M-Resist Metal Oxide Resistors. The same goes for the ReL "Storm III" subwoofer, Mundorf caps. Some love Klipsch, and there are the others... !!! I will never sell my Klipsch speakers !!! Cheers from Portugal.

Awesome setup , Klipsch sounds amazing🎵🎵

I'm wondering why the new Reference Premier line is a bit less in money than the older RF82ii's I bought. They run about 100-200 less than they did a year or two back. I know the center has smaller drivers now, went down from 6" to the 5.25", so that justifies a price drop. That being said, from the reviews I've read the newer towers out perform the older ones. If Klipsch can do this all while dropping the price, that's awesome. Buy a set, I love mine.

will cleaning the speaker rubber with tap water, damage the rubber over time? getting worried. thanks

Hi Caleb, I too would be interested in learning which stands you used for the side channels.

I would like to know if it is a good idea to add a pair of RF-7 II to this system and use them for music and as front L/R for movies while moving RP-280f to the sides.

We wanted to hear the system! Grated phone speakers won't do justice to the sound quality,but would have at least to have heard it.

I forgot to mention three are 6 subs in the system as well 16 inch D-FRE Abd12 front,-fire..

How do you callibrate everything ? What crossover and levels are used here ? It is a great system for sure ! Thanks in advance 😉

great vid and very interesting, but seen a lot of requests where can you hook a guy up with this system for $5500, great statement but how about the real place to grab a deal?

I have a Pioneer Elite Sc-07 and some older klipsch speakers klf 20 and Sp1 powered 8 towers with a kv-4 top of the older liner center channel. dual 8s with a over sized tweeter. How much was the receiver and blu Ray player you had for your klipsch? what did the receiver push power wise. I wish i had one of those 15s! wow. I also have a Rw12d sub. they had to re design the amp on those speakers as I went through several and paid alot of money to fix it until they actually up graded the amp. but the speaker sounds really good on my Sc-07

Set of speakers match with AV Recivers? With choice of options?

this is an excellent price point for such a system.

Please suggest me how much does it cost. Please explain in detail manner of Klipsch 7.2 or 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos setup speakers cost. I want to buy it near future to my new house. How much the exact measurements for having a perfect fitting for this Klipsch 7.2 or 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos setup. I have a small question regarding The Sony DN1080 receiver , the question is would this Sony DN 1080 atmos receiver would be best for Klipsch? Please kindly help me for perfect selection before buying the total equipment.

I got a similar system. a little 10 and 12 inch sub. surrounds and centers are the same 2 towers are the same the second set of towers the 6 inch versions. yamaha amp my space is a little smaller. I listen to variations of rock and rap and some electronic is played on it too. it is louder and cleaner and has more crisp of a sound than most concerts. die hard 2 is also an awesome movie to watch it's the only movie I've seen while using this system. I don't watch TV much but you don't need a stereo this nice to appreciate any of the die hard movies.

What cable wiring did you guys run? Looks like...maybe AQ Type 4? With (2) 26F, (2) R-10SW, and (1) R-25C can I get away with using AudioQuest G-2 cable to a Sony DN1060?

Not the ideal acoustics in such a room tho. and btw, does the calibration you do phase elign every speaker including the subs?

Hi, I bought Rp260f,rp440c,rp150,r110sw. 1.I love rp440c.good mid,high and low frequencies .vocal is nice and clear,Can use as Left and Right.135 watts. two crossover frequencies 500hz and 1500hz. 2.rp150 high and low frequencies are low when compare with others. 3.rp260f is good if u set the crossover in to 80hz. front grill need more support .It always keep a 3mm gap in the top. I tried this with Onkyo txnr 809 and 636.Harman Kardon,Denon and Yamaha. feel good with Yamaha and bore(not detail) with Onkyo. nice with Denon 5200.

my aunt has hemorrhoids on tuesdays, and my garage door is off its track, but my reference premiere system: pr 280f's =front, rp450c center, 3 rp 450 surrounds, 2 psa v3600's pair of dual 18"subwoofers (6.2 sysystem) wow, blows my old paradigm set up in the dirt

Who cares

You should always go as "all out" as you can get. No bookshelve speaker is going to make an action scene let alone music sound any good. You need definition and balance, all frequencies from all angles! Plus, in a big room it just looks sad having small speakers all over the place. I have Jamo S608's in the front and S606's in the back. They all have sidemounted subs (10" and 8") so there's no real need for seperate ones. I don't have a center speaker, but that's just because I don't like how they look in my TV furniture. These four speakers (powered by an Onkyo TX-NR509) are by no means reference quality, but my "4.4" set eats any premium home cinema set with bookshelve speakers and seperate subs for breakfast. So yeah, I really like what you guys did here!

hi can you tell me what stand you using for the sound surround i have some polk audio that looks just like that thanks

I Got a question to ask why is hard floor is not good for surround sound speakers?

Nice,.....I love my Klipsch speakers. I only have Klipsch Pro media 2.1 hooked up to my PC. However I am using an Sound Blaster Audigy 2zs with live drive on my PC for audio which supports 7.1. I have toslink cable hooked up from my PC to my old Yamaha 5.1 receiver and cheap Dayton bookshelf speakers as surrounds. Polk audio subwoofer 10, and 2 cheap jensen center channel speakers with dual 8's each ( I hope to upgrade to Klipsch surrounds someday, I need about $1500 ) However my system sounds pretty good for being a cheap setup. A Behringer UCA-202 USB adapter is also a good inexpensive way to connect a PC/laptop to AV receiver for true 7.1 or atmos surround sound. I use an inexpensive Nvidia GT 610 graphics with 2 HDMI connections to my 60"-TV and the other to my PC monitor display which is a 32-inch TV. works Great for 1080p.

So is this the right setup for a small apartment? It wont disturb the neighbors right.

With the height of that screen you should run 3 towers up front... now that would be great

What did u use to calibrate the levels, looked like an app on your phone?

What side surround floor stands did you use? I am looking for some

what speaker stands are you using for the surround sound rp240s?

I got a room with a size of 300 x 350 centimeters. I was using Logitech Z906 and I was so satisfied because my room is that small. But, I'm crazy like you all who are watching this video and I purchased Edifier S760D and the improvement was on whole other level.. But who says I won't purchase these for my (I repeat) 300x350cm sized room in a few years? Why not...right? Worst thing that can happen is I get kicked out.... or the floor collapses.

What is the price of such a speaker setup? I am considering to upgrade, I currently have a 7.2 Klipsch Synergy setup.

And for music what you think this speakers sound?

please can you tell me where you got your speaker cable from....many thanks...

What speaker stands were used for the surround rp-250

hey there , if you can help me with question it's will be great , I wanna to make 2.1 for music only . I wanna to buy rp280 fa( with atmos) with 115 sw sub and onkyo 646 , this build is good for music or maybe I don't need the rp 280fa and it's maybe better if I use the normal rp 280 f without the atmos? Tell me please the atmos is good also for music or only for movies surrounds ?

Movie that was played is: The Last Knight (transformers)

can you list the speaker models in this video please , i want this exact set up

i can't help but feel that if your side speakers are built multi directional. that the 4 front and back should be built somewhat similarly. where they fit in a corner and have mutli directional.
