It uses dual 6.5-inch woofers combined with a 1-inch tweeter and a rear port with inner flares to reduce air turbulence and minimise port noise, and it has a nominal impedance of 8Ω. The Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-6000 is the middle of five floorstanding options in the range. Let's see if the Klipsch Reference Premiere 5.1.2 system delivers the goods. That's a hefty outlay of £3,650, although it's not a ridiculous amount for a higher-end speaker package comprised of eight speakers.

For this review I'm running a 5.1.2-channel system that's composed of the RP-6000F floorstander (£1,100 a pair), the RP-404C dedicated centre speaker (£500), the RP-502S surround speakers (£825 a pair), the RP-500SA Dolby Atmos modules (£575 a pair) and the SPL-120 subwoofer (£650). Klipsch hopes that its latest speaker range will offer a superior level of performance, but without breaking the bank. The company has been perfecting this particular technology for over 70 years, but the new Reference Premiere series also benefits from other audio innovations, as well as the use of better construction materials, and various cosmetic changes. Klipsch's horn-loaded tweeters are synonymous with the manufacturer, and undoubtedly the first thing you think of when you hear the name.


There's also a range of specially engineered subwoofers, and all the speakers use the company's signature horn-loaded tweeter. This new range includes 18 different models that are composed of floorstander, centre, standmount, wide-dispersion surround, and Dolby Atmos speakers. The Klipsch Reference Premiere is the latest entry in the US brand's line-up of home cinema speakers.
