![]() ![]() They have concave dust caps that integrate nicely with the cone. These particular cones have a copper color to match the rest of the trim theme for the line. This material has the desirable properties of being both lightweight and very stiff. Cerametallic™ is Klipsch’s proprietary implementation of coated anodized aluminum cone technology. The mid/bass drivers are two 8″ Cerametallic™ cones. The horn itself is molded plastic that seamlessly transitions to the plastic baffle cover. The driver is mounted in a 90° x 60° square Tractrix® horn. Klipsch says that this tweeter is a “trickle-down” design courtesy of their flagship Palladium speakers. (The crossover is 1,500 Hz in the smaller speakers of this surround system.) The driver is a 1″ titanium compression driver with a linear suspension. In the RF-82 II’s, the tweeter handles the frequencies over an extended range from 1,400 Hz to 24,000 Hz. The newest Reference Series speakers have updated drivers, re-engineered crossovers and a refreshed look. For example, the Reference II’s are already on their fifth update in just over 10 years of product life. They are always testing, tweaking and improving their products. Klipsch, like many speaker companies, is never stagnant. ![]() EQ Presets and Adaptive Room Correction with 12 EQ Bands.Inputs: L/R Line-level RCA jacks, USB, 12V Trigger, MIC, WA port.Maximum Acoustic Output: 118 dB 30 Hz 1/8 Space, 1M.Amplifier: 500 Watts RMS, 1,200 Watts Peak.Driver: One 10″ Active, Two 10″ Passive Radiators.Power Handling: 100 Watts RMS / 400 Watts Peak.Drivers: Two 1″ Titanium Diaphragm Compression Tweeters, Two 5.25 Ceramic/Metallic Woofers.Power Handling: 150 Watts RMS, 600 Watts Peak.Drivers: One 1″ Titanium Diaphragm Compression Tweeters, Two 6.5″ Ceramic/Metallic Woofers.Finishes: Black Ash and Cherry Woodgrain Vinyl.Power Handling: 150 Watts RMS / 600 Watts Peak.Drivers: One 1″ Titanium Diaphragm Compression Tweeter, Two 8″ Ceramic/Metallic Woofers.So it was with great anticipation that I decided to review a Reference II 5.1 speaker system based on the RF-82 II floor standing speakers, and also including the RC-62 II Center, RS-52 II Surrounds, and SW-311 Subwoofer. The old speakers sounded good, but when the newer ones were toggled on, I heard a whole new level of detail, openness and a sound that was unrestrained by the cabinets. All I can say is that the demo really impressed me. The fine people from Klipsch had an A/B demo set up to compare the latest version of the Reference II’s to last year’s model. I was most impressed with a demo of the updated Klipsch Reference II speakers. Each company had some new products on display. owns a total of four speaker companies – Klipsch, Jamo, Mirage and Energy. Undaunted, I was able to find my way there and boy was I glad that I took the extra time to seek them out! The Klipsch Group, Inc. At last year’s CEDIA Expo in Atlanta, Klipsch set up their demo in a room that was more than just a little bit off the beaten path. ![]()
