Product Description

A towering achievement in a bookshelf design, the Reference Series RB-81 delivers unrivaled audio performance for those who demand the very best. Exclusive Tractrix Horns have always been the key component of this critically acclaimed series. In the RB-81, this technology has been refined to include improved throat geometry for a more genuine, lifelike sound. Behind the horn lies a 1-inch titanium tweeter with a large ceramic motor structure to provide a unique combination of precision, clarity and effortless power. The RB-81 employs an 8-inch woofer for a solid bass foundation. This Cerametallic woofer with inverted copper dust cap exhibits a very high stiffness-to-mass ratio and superb damping characteristics. The RB-81's front-firing port eliminates turbulence noise and makes installation into custom cabinetry a breeze. Increased baffle ribbing around the horn mouth dramatically improves acoustics across the sonic range. Available in a black woodgrain vinyl finish, the RB-81 comes with a low-diffraction, magnetically attached grille to further accentuate the elegance of this powerful speaker. With its high-end materials and cosmetic elegance, this flagship model is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

This review is from: Klipsch RB-81 Bookshelf Loudspeaker - Black (Personal Computers)
The Klipsch Reference Series RB-81 Speakers are a sonic wonder. I can't say enough good things about them. The soundstage is superb while individual instrument and vocal placement in the stereo field is pronounced and articulated. I am currently running them bi-amped using a 2 year old Denon AVR and feeding them a nice 105 watts RMS per speaker X2 as I have them bi-amped.

These speakers come packed to perfection in boxes that you should save for warranty work (if you ever need it) or moving. As soon as you start unpacking these you will know you just bought some top quality gear! They are on the heavy side so if you plan to use speaker stands make sure they can safely handle these speakers as they do pack some real heft.

Take some time to properly set these speakers up and it will pay off big time! Get them at the correct height for your listening position and make sure they are the same distance apart from each other as you are from them , forming a triangle... Read more
