Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-8060FA II Floorstanding Speaker - Each

The Flagship Reference Premiere II Tower, With Atmos Built In

The Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-8060FA II is the Atmos-enabled flagship of the Reference Premiere II line: a 1-inch Titanium LTS tweeter and dual 8-inch Cerametallic woofers, in a deeper cabinet that adds a built-in, up-firing Dolby Atmos elevation driver.

Klipsch rates the main channel's sensitivity at 98 dB into a nominal 8 ohms, with 150 watts of continuous power handling on the main channel, plus a dedicated 100-watt elevation channel with more headroom than Klipsch's own separate RP-500SA II add-on module.

The cabinet ships in Ebony vinyl with a satin-painted baffle, and sold each, so a stereo pair is two — order one to match an existing speaker, or a matching pair to start a system from scratch.

Where the Built-In Elevation Driver Earns Its Keep

The Same Main Drivers, a Dedicated Atmos Channel

The main channel's 1-inch Titanium LTS tweeter and dual 8-inch Cerametallic woofers cross over at 1,630 Hz, the same as the largest non-Atmos tower in this line — the deeper 20.80-inch cabinet exists to house the elevation driver, not to change the main speaker's sound.

A dedicated 6.5-inch up-firing Dolby Atmos driver, in its own sealed enclosure and crossing over at 2,000 Hz, is rated at 100 watts continuous, 400 watts peak — more power handling than Klipsch's separate RP-500SA II add-on speaker (75 watts continuous, 300 watts peak) offers as a stand-alone module.

The Numbers, and What They Ask of Your Amplifier

Klipsch quotes a main-channel frequency range of 35 Hz to 25 kHz within 3 dB. Sensitivity is 98 dB, nominal impedance is 8 ohms compatible, and Klipsch rates main-channel power handling at 150 watts continuous, 600 watts peak.

Dual aluminum binding posts feed the main channel and support bi-wiring and bi-amping; a single binding post low on the cabinet feeds the elevation driver. Klipsch's own manual recommends a minimum 150 Hz crossover point when connecting the height channel.

Who Is This Floorstanding Speaker Best For?

• You want the flagship Reference Premiere II tower with Atmos built in — the largest driver complement in this line, plus a dedicated elevation channel with more power handling than the separate add-on module
• You don't want a second speaker box on top of your tower — the up-firing driver is already in the cabinet, wired and ready
• Your amplifier is modest — 98 dB main-channel sensitivity means a home-theater receiver drives it with ease
• You want one speaker per cabinet, priced and shipped that way — the RP-8060FA II is sold each, so order two for a stereo pair
• You want real floorstanding bass without a separate subwoofer — the RP-8060FA II reaches to 35 Hz within 3 dB on its own. For the deepest home-theater effects, add one of our subwoofers and let the towers do what they do best

How Does It Connect to Your System?

Dual aluminum binding posts feed the main channel and accept a single-wire or bi-wire/bi-amp connection; a separate binding post low on the cabinet feeds the elevation driver from your receiver's height-channel output.

Give the cabinet a few inches of clearance from the wall behind it for its rear-firing ports to breathe, and keep the top of the cabinet clear so the up-firing driver has a clean path to the ceiling.

Two cable runs per tower, and you are listening.

Pairs Well With

What finishes the system around a pair of RP-8060FA II towers:

• AV receivers — a Dolby Atmos-capable receiver is what unlocks the built-in elevation driver
• Integrated amplifiers — 98 dB main-channel sensitivity means a quality integrated amplifier drives the stereo side with ease
• Speaker cables — single-wire or bi-wire runs for the main channel, plus one more run for the elevation driver
• Audio racks — house the electronics driving the flagship of this line

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the price for one speaker or a pair?

One. The RP-8060FA II is sold each, so order two for a stereo pair, or one to match an existing speaker.

What comes in the box?

The speaker with its magnetic grille and the owner's manual.

Do I still need a separate RP-500SA II elevation speaker?

No — the RP-8060FA II already has an up-firing Atmos driver built in, with more power handling than the separate add-on module offers.

Can I bi-wire the RP-8060FA II?

Yes, on the main channel. Dual aluminum binding posts support bi-wiring and bi-amping; the elevation driver has its own separate binding post.

What amplifier do I need?

Klipsch rates main-channel power handling at 150 watts continuous, 600 watts peak, and the elevation channel at 100 watts continuous. Most home-theater receivers drive both with ease.

What finishes are available?

Ebony vinyl with a satin-painted baffle.
