Summary and Impressions:
The Klipsch RF 6000F II Floor standing speakers are well built, attractive, and sonically sound. Although to achieve their highest potential it requires careful attention to gear selection and the proper room environment. It sounded significantly better when driven at 200W added amplification compared to 105W from receiver only. The sound improved when I added more carpeting in the room and wall dampening foam board. Additionally, speaker placement and vertical tilt improved my listening experience.
I listened to variety of musical genres for specific tacks and songs I’m familiar to.
I listened for female and male vocals. Rhythmic drums and guitar riffs in rock and roll tracks. I also listened to Dance/R&B music which have superior recording with clear and detailed tracks.
I’ve listened to the above playlist on numerous floor standing, bookshelf, and receiver/amplification combinations over the years and know well to listen to different subtleties in each playback experience.
Sonic Signature with only Denon 3600H:
At 105W x 2 channel showed the RP 6000F II shortcomings when paired with lower watt receivers and amps. Although they are rated above 90 sensitivity, they only come alive at higher quality and quantity watt amps paired with a warmer signature PreAmp/Processor/Receiver unlike the dryer Denon natural sound signature.
Highs: the upper octave is more pronounced, and the middle and bottom are lacking
Mids: Low mids is more pronounced but lacking in the middle and upper chest hitting drum rhythmics
Bass: The most low end bass is lacking but good mid to upper bass
Sonic Signature with Emotiva external amp attached to the only 3600H:
Driven at above 200W with my higher quality and double the wattage the RP 6000F II instantly becomes more authoritative and mature sounding bringing the room alive. All the absent gaps in the highs, mids, and bass are filled in sounding complete to compete with any audio playback thrown at it.
Highs: The middle and bottom octaves are filled in to better match naturally pronounced upper octaves
Mids: Upper mids improves to match low mids that’s naturally pronounced but still lacks a bit in the middle chest hitting drum rhythmics
Bass: The upper and middle bass tightened up and are more authoritative. The most low end bass is better but still lacking given its only a six inch woofer with dual rear ports.
Imaging:
The most surprising thing was how sensitive the speakers are to tow in placement, room insulation environment, and vertical off axis imaging. Standing versus sitting greatly improved how much bass is available to feel and listen while walking and standing. The speakers are naturally tilted up which explains it. The horn tweeter imaged vertical and horizontally very well and a lot better than I’m used to from previous horn loaded tweeter of similar size.

The instructions are just pictorial, but ultimately you are just hooking up speaker wires. I love that they have a pass through for Atmos speakers to be added on. This allows you to expand easily in the future, especially if utilizing for a movie room.
There is nothing missing from the sound quality, and even at the highest output of my receiver there is no distortion.
