Product Description
The Klipsch RP-8263FA Reference Premiere Series III floorstanding speaker combines powerful main-channel performance with a built-in Dolby Atmos height channel for an immersive home cinema experience. Designed and engineered in the USA, its internally braced MDF cabinet houses dual 8-inch Cerametallic woofers, a 1-inch titanium LTS tweeter, and a flush-mounted Tractrix horn for detailed highs, controlled bass, and dynamic output. With 98 dB sensitivity, 150 watts continuous power handling, and 600 watts peak capability, it delivers room-filling sound with impressive efficiency. Dual rear-firing Tractrix ports improve airflow, while aluminum binding posts support bi-wiring or bi-amping. Available in Ebony or Walnut, the cabinet includes metal outrigger feet and a floating fabric grille.
Integrated Dolby Atmos Height Channel
Built into the top of the cabinet, the dedicated height channel reflects sound toward the ceiling to create convincing overhead effects without separate ceiling speakers. Its 1-inch titanium LTS tweeter, Tractrix horn, and 6.5-inch Cerametallic woofer operate in an acoustic-suspension enclosure designed to meet Dolby Atmos requirements.
Dual Eight-Inch Cerametallic Woofers
The main channel uses two rigid, lightweight 8-inch Cerametallic cone woofers with Faraday rings for strong bass response and reduced distortion. Their high-efficiency design supports impactful movie soundtracks, energetic music playback, and clean output at demanding listening levels while maintaining accurate cone control.
Titanium Tweeter With Tractrix Horn
A 1-inch titanium LTS vented tweeter is mounted inside a flush BMC axial Tractrix horn to improve high-frequency detail and dispersion. This combination helps direct sound efficiently toward the listening area, producing clear dialogue, precise effects, and an open presentation across a broad seating position.
Highly Efficient Dynamic Performance
With 98 dB sensitivity and an 8-ohm nominal impedance, the RP-8263FA produces impressive volume from available amplifier power. It handles 150 watts continuously and up to 600 watts peak, giving movies and music the headroom needed for wide dynamics, powerful transients, and confident room-filling playback.
Dual Chamber Tractrix Porting
Two rear-firing Tractrix ports use a dual-chamber design to promote smoother airflow and minimize turbulence as bass output increases. The carefully shaped ports complement the bass-reflex enclosure, helping the speaker deliver deeper, cleaner low-frequency performance with reduced port noise during demanding cinematic and musical passages.
Braced MDF Cabinet Construction
The internally braced MDF enclosure is designed to reduce unwanted vibration and cabinet resonance, allowing the drivers to perform with greater clarity. Its knife-edge profile, copper accents, floating fabric grille, and choice of Ebony or Walnut finishes provide a refined appearance suited to modern home cinema spaces.
Flexible Bi-Wire Bi-Amp Connectivity
Dual aluminum binding posts provide conventional speaker connection while also supporting bi-wiring or bi-amping for compatible systems. Separating high- and low-frequency signal paths gives enthusiasts additional setup flexibility, while the dedicated height-channel binding posts make it easy to connect the integrated Dolby Atmos module to an AV receiver.
Stable Adjustable Outrigger Feet
Metal outrigger feet widen the speaker’s support base and allow precise leveling for a stable installation. This thoughtful foundation helps accommodate different flooring surfaces, improves cabinet balance, and gives the tall floorstanding design a secure stance while preserving its clean, premium appearance in dedicated theaters or living rooms.
