A force to be reckoned with, the Reference Series RF-83 floorstander sets a new standard for the line in both sound and style. With its high-end materials and slender design, this flagship tower 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 RF-83, this technology has been refined to include improved throat geometry for a more genuine, lifelike sound. Behind the horn lies a professional-grade 1.25-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver to provide a unique combination of precision, clarity and effortless power.Featuring an all-new driver layout, the RF-83 employs triple 8-inch high-output woofers with large motor structures for a solid bass foundation and greater control, output and power handling. These Cerametallic woofers with inverted copper dust caps exhibit a very high stiffness-to-mass ratio and superb damping characteristics.The RF-83’s rigid cabinet offers improved internal cross-bracing to minimize panel vibrations that can color sound and three rear-firing ports to eliminate turbulence noise. Increased baffle ribbing in the lower panel and around the horn mouth dramatically improve acoustics across the sonic range. For signal purity and perfect driver integration, the crossover on the RF-83 features the finest components and Klipsch custom internal wiring. Premium binding posts ensure superior connectivity.The RF-83 comes with a knife-edge back and low-diffraction, magnetically attached grille to further accentuate the elegance of this speaker.

Klipsch RF-83, an awesome sounding speaker ! ! !
I purchased my pair of Klipsch RF-83 Speakers approx. 1 year ago and shortly after wards noticed a very small indentation when the lighting was directed towards the speakers in a particular angle. I contacted the Klipsch Company and without hesitation they shipped and paid all expenses of the shipping and also the return of the speaker with the very small indentation. Afterwards Klipsch consumer relations department kept in close contact with concern that I was satisfied with everything else pertaining with my purchase of my Klipsch speakers. The deep rich quality of the highs and lows that these speakers produce is nothing short of incredible. I can either turn the volume very low or direct most of the power from my 130 watts per channel onkyo receiver with no distortion or loss of sound quality, in short these speakers are an awesome investment, and I’m completely satisfied with their performance that exceed my expectations that I would expect from the Klipsch Company.
I am glad I bought these speakers
These speakers are replacing some I have had since 1979, I have had the RF-83s for about a month and I am very pleased with them.
The soundstage is deep and the imaging is excellent.
Plus you don’t have to sit in a ’sweet spot’ to get the good sound.
There are details in the instrument’s sound that I have not been able to pick out before.
Initially I was listening to the speakers instead of the music and these speakers are very easy to listen to.
Voices sound natural and the bass is well defined and deep.
The sound of these speakers is rich, full, and very satisfying.
You may see people write that horn tweeters are bright or harsh and cause listening fatigue on other review sites or forums … all I have to say about that is they have not heard these speakers.
In movies I can hear each sound individually instead of it becoming just a loud undefined crash. For example in the movie I Robot when Will Smith is in the house that the demo bot tears down there is a scene where the floor falls and all kinds of debris is sliding down along with Smith and the cat.
I never noticed that this was not just a big crashing noise before, but in this busy scene these speakers keep all those sounds organized and you can hear the individual pieces as they slide down and bump into one another.
Not sure what else to say, if you are looking at speakers in this price class these are certainly worth the time to listen to.
A Worthy Speaker Choice
I have had these speakers for 8 months now and remain very impressed. I traded some Tannoys which were a bit colored and have not regretted the switch. The Tannoys were good but after 10 years I needed a change.
These speakers are clear and have very low distortion. There is no harshness at all from good recordings. I have juggled amps and find my Onkyo gives the best result. I have another amp and get a somewhat thin presentation. So keep in mind this product mirrors the electronic source very faithfully.
Bass is very powerful and extended. The highs are not forward and are accurate. In short, the RF-83s will satisfy audio snobs like myself who also have a limited budget. My digital source is a Sony blu-ray player so I clearly don’t use high end stuff all the way through.
If you are interested in modern Klipsch technology go to a shop and give these speakers listen.
