Klipsch has become synonymous with horn driver technology since its foundations in 1946.  Over the years, one horn innovation that has outlasted many others is the TracTrix design, utilized by many but possibly perfected by Paul Klipsch when combined with his LTS (Linear Travel Suspension) compression tweeter design.  

The Klipsch Reference R-820F floorstanding speaker stands as a striking embodiment of Klipsch’s decades-long dedication to delivering powerful, lifelike sound with remarkable clarity, efficiency, and dynamic range. The R-820F was part of a well-regarded Reference line approximately 6-7 years ago. The R-820F blends cutting-edge acoustic technology with unmistakable Klipsch aesthetics. At its heart is a 1-inch aluminum LTS tweeter mounted in a 90° x 90° Tractrix horn, a hallmark feature that improves high-frequency response and directs sound more precisely into the listening area. This results in the kind of crisp detail and spatial realism that audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts alike find captivating.

Complementing the highs are twin 8-inch spun-copper IMG (Injection Molded Graphite) woofers, which provide deep, tight bass with impressive power handling and minimal distortion. These drivers not only lend the speaker its authoritative low-end punch but also contribute to its signature visual appeal with their shimmering copper-colored cones. The synergy between tweeter and woofers is handled by a carefully engineered crossover network.

The cabinet is acoustically tuned and internally braced to reduce resonance, and its sleek black woodgrain vinyl finish gives the speaker a refined, modern look that suits a wide range of décor styles. Though designed with home theater systems in mind, the R-802F performs just as confidently in two-channel stereo setups, revealing layers of musical texture that lesser speakers often obscure.

With a sensitivity rating of 98 dB (a Klipsch hallmark), this speaker can deliver room-filling sound even with modest power input, making it an excellent match for a wide variety of amplifiers and receivers. Whether you’re spinning vinyl, streaming digital music, or diving into a blockbuster film, the R-820F delivers a dynamic, immersive listening experience that pulls you in and holds your attention.

This set is in "as-new" condition. Barely any signs of wear and only used sparingly.
