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.
Available in either a cherry or black real wood
veneer finish, the RF-83 comes with a knife-edge
back and low-diffraction, magnetically attached
grille to further accentuate the elegance of this
speaker. www.klipsch.com
