According to our HiFi speaker expert
With the Klipsch RP-280F, a song or movie soundtrack will sound both solid and detailed. That's because this column speaker has a 2-way design. The LTS titanium tweeter produces clear, high-frequency sounds, while the double woofers fill the room with powerful tones. The bass reflex port on the back of the speaker ensures a a deep bass sound. These tones make an exciting movie scene or the climax of a song extra gripping. You can use 2 column speakers as a stereo set or as front speakers in a surround setup. For deep bass, you'll need to add a subwoofer from the Reference series.
Note: This speaker is supplied per unit. For a stereo sound reproduction, you'll need at least 2 speakers.

After many years of trying certain brands like Sony , magnat , dali and polk audio , decided to go for klipsch klipsch was always a dream , and this dream is now coming true . Started with the center , the klipsch rp 450 c , then the subwoofer , the r 115 sw , then the r-15m's for L-R , but now replaced by the klipsch rp 280f's. And klipsch has for me the most beautiful sound and also the sound that comes closest to cinema sound . Klipsch , power . Detail . emotion.
Klipsch RP-280F ,
The speakers - the finish is very nice. Transparent grill , do not block noise . And very flexible . Seamless design - no screws visible. Mdf satin skirting board Beautiful copper-colored woofers 2x8 inch. Big horn 90x90 . Rubber material . Ability to bi-amp The speakers lean back a bit. This is to better send the sound to you. The speaker cloth is attached with magnets and easy to remove.
Sound of the RP-280F Klipsch is known for its horn loaded speakers It's simple, you like it or not The sound is very beautiful . The large rubber horn reproduces the high tones nicely. Not too sharp or painful. Just loud and clear and Very detailed The 2 x 8 inch woofers provide sufficient bass The 90x90 horn reproduces a good and detailed sound But subwoofer is definitely necessary for watching movies.
My Amp Choice
I chose an onkyo tx-rz800 THX certified Powerful, many options, future proof In short - I think most amps are a good fit with klipsch, it's all about personal taste too.
Placing the klipsch . I started measuring. Speakers at the same distance . Accueq room calibration from onkyo doing its job Did some work afterwards. It 's always better to double check . The rp 280f's are now at 40hz. - 1.5 dB I use konig OFC pure Copper speaker cable 2x4mm with Nakamichi banana plugs
I usually use these tips and they work well. http://www.audioholics.co...ally-level-match-speakers
music . To know what the speakers really have to offer, I added some bass rich music. I like heavy music anyway. First of all, my favorite sounded great through the klipsch 1st song was - Push- universal nation. Deep bass, lots of bells and whistles
2nd song, a hardcore song, a song with a lot of bass and yet also lyrics, The rp 280f's give enough bass and lyrics properly. Paul Elstak- I'm not an addictict
3 , number - one metal song , rough guitars and a lot of roar . You can also hear what the klipsch can do with such a song. I felt like I was at a rock concert , sounded so real . Annihilator - deadlock
For the 4th song I was looking for something quieter . Yes, I like to hear Phil Collins too That man's voice sounds so warm through the horn, I used a familiar one, another day in paradise.
The first movie I watched was Transformers: Age of Extinction. This one has Dolby Atmos encoding, which of course provides a lot of bass and a great surround. No problem for the klipsch either . The voices are so deep , everything sounds so real and close . Of course I did use the subwoofer here. The Klipsch R-115sw . Which is also a perfect combination with the 280f's. In short . The movie is really made with deep bass and lots of effects, whatever you throw at the klipsch they will do anything to keep you happy, I just have to play them loose now. But out of the box, they sound great.
Conclusion . Big speakers You really need the space for it No distortion, suitable for high, but also lower volumes, at lower volumes you will still hear sufficient detail. Nothing is lost They are heavy (30kg each) Solidly built Very nicely finished Spikes included Rubber feet Manual with sufficient explanation about placement and how you can best set them up. And how you assemble or hang everything. They really give a detailed cinema sound.
