Overview
The Klipsch RP-5000F II + RP-500C II + RP-500M II speaker package offers a versatile audio solution for high-fidelity and home theater enthusiasts. Featuring the latest technologies from Klipsch’s Reference Premiere range, it delivers precise and immersive sound reproduction suitable for a variety of uses.
A Symphony of Acoustic Technologies
At the heart of this package lies Klipsch’s iconic technology: the Tractrix horn. This new generation of Reference Premiere speakers features a 90° x 90° hybrid Tractrix horn made of silicone composite, larger than previous versions. This enhancement ensures more efficient propagation of high-frequency sound waves to the listening area, resulting in clearer and more precise sound. The phase plug and compression-molded silicone face ensure smooth frequency response, eliminating unwanted distortions.
The 1-inch titanium Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) tweeters, present in every speaker in the package, minimize distortion for enhanced and detailed performance. This technology, a hallmark of previous Reference Premiere series, is a key element in delivering high-quality sound. The vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves, further improving detail and clarity in high frequencies.
Redesigned Woofers for Controlled Power
Klipsch engineers have completely redesigned the Cerametallic woofers for this new generation. The RP-5000F II floorstanding speakers are equipped with two 5.25-inch woofers, while the RP-500C II center speaker and RP-500M II bookshelf speakers feature two and one, respectively. These new woofers deliver impeccable sound reproduction with minimal distortion and maximum efficiency.
The Cerametallic design, which combines a rigid yet lightweight diaphragm with a thin layer of spun copper, produces deep and precise bass. The voice coil, now 70% larger in diameter, significantly improves power handling and diaphragm control. This evolution results in more linear and faithful reproduction, capable of capturing the subtlest nuances of music or cinematic sound effects.
Thoughtful Acoustic Architecture
Each speaker in the package benefits from meticulous design aimed at optimizing acoustic performance. The cabinets are made of thick MDF, reinforced with strategically placed internal bracing. This robust construction eliminates unwanted vibrations and resonances, preserving the purity of the sound emitted by the drivers.
The bass-reflex system, present in the floorstanding and bookshelf speakers, uses rear Tractrix ports. This specific geometry ensures smoother airflow and reduces turbulence, thereby minimizing port noise. The result is cleaner, more powerful, and better-defined low-frequency reproduction.
Unmatched Versatility
This Klipsch package stands out for its versatility, capable of adapting to various configurations and uses. The RP-5000F II floorstanding speakers, with their power handling of 100W RMS (400W peak), provide a solid foundation for a high-end stereo system or the main channels of a home theater setup.
The RP-500C II center speaker, a crucial element for reproducing dialogue and central effects in a multichannel system, shares similar characteristics with the floorstanding speakers. Its horizontal design and Tractrix horn tweeter ensure optimal sound dispersion, allowing all listeners to enjoy exceptional dialogue clarity.
The RP-500M II bookshelf speakers, more compact yet equally capable, can serve as surround speakers or be used in a stereo system for smaller spaces. Their high sensitivity (92 dB) makes them particularly easy to drive, even with moderately powered amplifiers.

Frequently asked questions
What is the recommended amplifier power for this package?
To get the best performance from this package, it is recommended to use an amplifier capable of delivering between 75 and 150W per channel at 8 ohms. However, the high sensitivity of the speakers ensures good results even with lower-powered amplifiers.
Are these speakers suitable for a large room?
Yes, this package is perfectly suited for large rooms. The RP-5000F II floorstanding speakers and RP-500C II center speaker have enough power and dynamics to fill large spaces. For very large rooms, adding a subwoofer may be beneficial to enhance low-frequency performance.
Can this package be used for stereo listening only?
Absolutely. The RP-5000F II floorstanding speakers deliver exceptional performance in a stereo configuration. The RP-500M II bookshelf speakers can also be used alone for a more compact stereo system. The center speaker and additional speakers can be added later to evolve into a full home theater system.
How do these speakers compare to the previous generation of the Reference Premiere range?
This new generation brings several notable improvements. The Tractrix horn has been enlarged for better high-frequency dispersion. The Cerametallic woofers have been completely redesigned with a larger voice coil and a new magnetic structure, offering better power handling and reduced distortion. The overall design has also been refined for a more modern and elegant aesthetic.
