About the RF3
The Klipsch RF-3 is a Reference Series floorstanding loudspeaker introduced in 1999 and manufactured until 2001. It features a Tractrix horn-loaded titanium compression driver paired with two 8-inch aluminum cone woofers in a bass-reflex cabinet. Known for exceptional sensitivity of 98 dB/W/m, it delivers high sound pressure levels with minimal amplifier power, ideal for both two-channel audio and home theater systems. The speakers support bi-wiring, include adjustable spikes or damping feet, and are magnetically shielded for TV placement. Available in black or cherry finish, they offer dynamic performance and value, originally priced at around $800 per pair.
