Seek New Heights

Immersive sound comes alive from all directions, including overhead, with these Dolby Atmos enabled speakers. Add them to any monitor or tower speaker, or use as surround speakers for a hemisphere of rich, detailed sound.

Elevation Built-In

Not just your typical full-range tower speaker, the R-605FA features a high performance up-firing Dolby Atmos speaker integrated in the top for an enveloping soundstage. It's a perfectly matched setup that virtually disappears.

All New 90° x 90° Tractrix® Horn

An updated horn design, including increased outer horn dimensions, will deliver more power and emotion to your music and movies. Bigger definitely means better, with directivity control over a larger bandwidth of frequencies, resulting in a more accurate sound stage.

Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) Aluminum Tweeter

A hallmark of Klipsch speakers, the exclusive 1" LTS with Kapton Suspension tweeter minimizes distortion for more detailed performances. Aluminum is an extremely light and rigid material used in the tweeter assembly to provide high efficiency.

Spun-Copper Thermoformed Crystalline Polymer Woofers

Utilizing trickle-down technology from Klipsch's highly acclaimed Reference Premiere series of speakers, the 6.5" TCP woofers have steeper angling of the cones for a smoother response and improved accuracy and transparency.

Rear Tractrix Port

The rear Tractrix port is perfectly matched to the cabinet and woofers, creating ideal airflow with minimal distortion or turbulence even at the lowest frequencies.

High-Quality Cabinet Design & Appearance

Hidden fasteners, edge-to-edge horn, and low-profile magnetic grilles give the speakers a polished, modern appearance. MDF cabinets with scratch-resistant, textured wood grain to fit right into your home décor.

Reference Redefined

Check out all of the speakers in the newest generation of the legendary Klipsch Reference series speakers and prepare to have your world rocked.

Overall Score 89/100

Nicely Roasted

With built-in Dolby Atmos up-firing drivers, the R-605FA brings immersive overhead presence and punchy low end while retaining Klipsch's lively horn character. Robert Silva highlights the 90º Tractrix horns, LTS tweeters and spun-copper woofers that yield strong dynamics, articulate mids and extended highs.

Pros

Built-in Dolby Atmos up-firing drivers deliver convincing height effects for immersive home cinema.
90º Tractrix horns paired with LTS tweeters produce clear, efficient highs and forward, articulate mids.
Spun-copper TCP woofers provide smooth, controlled low end with punch and good extension for a tower this size.

Sound Quality

90/100

Bass

92/100

Inferred mid‑tower class (dual ~6.5" woofers). Klipsch Reference towers typically deliver punchy, well‑controlled bass with strong extension for their size; score reflects substantial low‑end authority without subwoofer assistance. No user reviews provided; score derived from product family characteristics and price point.

Mid

89/100

Expect forward, present mids characteristic of Klipsch horn‑loaded designs — clear, energetic vocals and good coherence through crossover regions. Slight brightness sometimes noted for this family is considered, so score is high but not maximal. No review excerpts were available; inference from Reference series voicing.

Treble

88/100

Horn‑loaded tweeter likely provides excellent extension, detail and efficiency with notable air, but can trend bright at high levels. Score balances refinement and potential for on‑axis brightness typical of Klipsch speakers; based on product lineage rather than supplied reviews.

Soundstage Imaging

87/100

Expect wide, lively soundstage with well‑defined center imaging and good lateral dispersion from horn loading. Not positioned as ultra‑laid‑back or hyper‑layered reference imaging, so score reflects strong width and clarity but moderate depth compared with flagship designs.

Dynamics

93/100

High sensitivity and horn tweeter deliver excellent micro/macro dynamics and punch; well suited to effortless dynamics and headroom. Score reflects reputation for energetic slam and transient speed in the Reference line.

Build Quality

86/100

Klipsch Reference towers generally have solid cabinetry and finishes (bracing, ports, binding posts) though not at boutique reference levels. Durable construction expected; some cost‑saving materials compared with flagship lines temper a top‑tier score.

Features Connectivity

80/100

Passive tower baseline applied (fixed score). No deduction for lack of DSP/app/streaming. If dual binding posts (bi‑wire) or included accessories exist, those could be noted but passive baseline rules cap this at 80.

Value for Money

90/100

At the listed price (~$849.99), the R‑605FA likely represents strong performance per dollar among mid‑priced floorstanders, especially given built‑in Atmos up‑firing capability and Klipsch efficiency. Score based on price and Reference‑series positioning; direct reviewer praise was not supplied.
