RP-6000F II
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 6.5" 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.
(jumper wires included in the box)

The Klipsch RP-6000F II brings bold floorstanding presence and a clean spectral decay that hints at lively, direct performance. GR Research notes improved cabinet bracing and upgraded-looking terminals, while also identifying its crossover as a clear opportunity for enthusiasts seeking more precise imaging, smoother integration and greater bass definition.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Pros
Stock measurements showed relatively clean spectral decay, with no major stored-energy issues highlighted beyond the crossover region.
Version II uses improved cabinet bracing and more substantial-looking individual binding posts versus the prior version.
&
Cons
The reviewer found a driver-phase mismatch around the crossover that can compromise imaging and create a pronounced vertical off-axis response dip.
Its impedance was measured as dipping to 3.8 ohms, making it a more demanding load than the reviewer’s revised crossover design.
GR Research criticized the stock crossover components, wiring and cabinet damping as limiting resolution, vocal cleanliness and bass definition.
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 76/100
The available review focuses on an aftermarket redesign rather than a conventional assessment of the stock speaker. It identifies time-arrival issues affecting imaging, unwanted noise through the vocal range, and bass resonances that the modification is intended to address; claims of very smooth response and decay apply to the modified version, not the standard RP-6000F II.
Bass
78/100
GR Research says damping the cabinet treatment reveals more bass resolution, implying that resonant behavior obscures some low-frequency definition in the standard speaker. The review does not provide a fuller account of the stock model's extension, weight, or control on music.
Mid
77/100
The reviewer reports a noticeably cleaner vocal region after removing what it characterizes as noise from the system. This points to a meaningful concern with midrange cleanliness in the unmodified speaker, though vocal timbre and tonal balance are not explored in depth.
Treble
75/100
The review mentions upgraded capacitors and resistors in the tweeter circuit, but offers no direct listening description of the stock speaker's treble extension, air, detail, or harshness. Its strong comments on smooth response apply after modification.
Soundstage Imaging
76/100
GR Research specifically says that driver time arrival is off and that this affects imaging. It says the modified speaker has more even off-axis behavior, but does not describe the stock speaker's stage width, depth, or image stability beyond that criticism.
Dynamics
75/100
The reviewer says the revised crossover produces a smoother, easier-to-drive impedance load, particularly for AV receivers. That is useful amplifier-load commentary, but the review says little about the stock speaker's musical slam, headroom, or behavior at high volume.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
76/100
The review's proposed upgrade replaces crossover parts with higher-grade inductors, capacitors, and resistors, indicating that GR Research sees room for improvement in the stock implementation. It does not otherwise assess cabinet fit and finish, terminals, driver durability, or long-term ownership quality.
Value for Money
85/100
At a listed price range of $1,349 to $1,739, this is positioned in a competitive mid-priced floorstanding market. The review does not directly compare its value with competing speakers or say whether the standard model justifies its asking price; its discussion is instead centered on the cost and benefits of modification.
