Floorstanding Speaker
Bigger Horn, Better Sound
A new, larger 90 x 90 silicone composite hybrid Tractrix horn provides incredibly efficient transfer of high-frequency waves into the listening area for crisper, clearer sound. The phase plug and compression molded silicone face ensure smooth frequency response.
Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) Titanium Diaphragm Tweeter
The exclusive 1" LTS minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performance. LTS tweeters are a hallmark of previous Reference Premiere Series, making it a core component of some of the best speakers in the world.
Vented Tweeter Design
The vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics, resulting in enhanced detail and clarity in high-frequency reproduction.
All-New Cerametallic Woofers
A signature feature on the Reference Premiere series speakers, the dual 5.25" Cerametallic woofers have been updated for absolutely flawless sound reproduction, minimum distortion, and maximum efficiency. The redesigned woofer will deliver the power, detail, and emotion you expect from a Klipsch Reference Premiere speaker.
Tractrix Port
Utilizing Tractrix geometry, the Reference Premiere port allows for the most efficient, fastest air transfer from the cabinet, which reduces port noise for punchier low frequencies and cleaner, more powerful bass.
Bi-Wiring Bi-Amping Capability
Dual input terminals for bi-wiring / bi-amping capabilities separate high and low-frequency current into different speaker cables, reducing distortion for clearer midrange. Bi-amping allows for further optimization of performance with separate outboard power amplifiers for the high frequency and low-frequency drivers.
Just Add Dolby Atmos
Upgrading to immersive Dolby Atmos sound with the RP-500SA speakers is incredibly easy with simple, hidden connections on the back of the speakers. These refined connections reduce wire visibility while holding them in place for better wire management.

Klipsch RP-5000F II — Lively, punchy floorstander with horn-driven clarity
The Klipsch RP-5000F II is a compact, horn‑loaded tower that punches well above its size, delivering dynamic impact, incisive detail and wide, engaging imaging ideal for music and movies. Dual 5.25" woofers give the cabinet surprising weight and transient control, while the 1" LTS tweeter mounted on a 90x90 Tractrix horn provides an airy, revealing top end.
Sonically the RP-5000F II favours a forward, present midrange that brings vocals and acoustic instruments up front, complemented by energetic treble that exposes microdetail and ambience. Dynamics and transient authority are standout traits: the speaker offers lively macro- and micro-dynamic contrasts and room-filling efficiency for easy pairing with modest amplifiers.
Build quality is robust for the price tier, with well-assembled MDF cabinets and tight driver integration. Connectivity is straightforward passive binding posts—no DSP fuss. Placement and toe-in will tune imaging and perceived brightness, and listeners seeking sub-30Hz extension may opt to add a subwoofer.
At the $420–$600 range the RP-5000F II presents a compelling value proposition: spirited, high-efficiency performance and expressive voicing for those who prioritise punch, detail and staging without massive cabinetry.
Pros
- Very dynamic presentation with strong slam and transient authority for its size.
- Clear, airy treble and wide soundstage from the 90x90 Tractrix horn and LTS tweeter.
- Punchy, well-controlled low end for a slim floorstander—good weight without a large cabinet.
&
Cons
- Limited deep bass extension below the sub-30Hz region; a subwoofer may be needed for the deepest impact.
- Treble can come across as a touch bright on grainy recordings due to horn-associated top-end energy.
- Imaging and tonal balance are somewhat placement- and toe-in-dependent; careful setup improves results.

Bass
89/100
Dual 5.25" woofers in a slim floorstander deliver punchy, well-controlled low end for music and movies but stop short of deep, sub-30Hz extension. Good weight and transient control for the cabinet size; placement/room will affect perceived extension.
Mid
88/100
Forward, present midrange that gives vocals and instruments strong immediacy. Timbre is lively and detailed; slight horn-associated brightness can make female vocals incisive in some systems.
Treble
90/100
1" LTS tweeter on a 90x90 Tractrix horn yields clear, airy top end with excellent detail retrieval. Treble is energetic and revealing; it can be perceived as a touch bright on grainy recordings.
Soundstage Imaging
90/100
Horn-loaded tweeter and mid/woofer alignment produce wide, engaging soundstage with solid image focus and good depth for the class. Imaging is stable but slightly dependent on placement and toe-in adjustments.
Dynamics
92/100
Very dynamic and lively presentation with strong macro and micro-dynamic contrast. High sensitivity and transient authority give excellent slam for a compact tower, though ultimate headroom is limited by driver size.
