This technology has been refined for the RF-83 to include an improved throat geometry for more genuine, lifelike sound. Behind the horn is a professional grade 1.25" titanium diaphragm compression driver to give precise and clear sound. Below the horn there are triple 8" Cerametallic woofers with inverted copper dust caps. These woofers have a very high stiffness-to-mass ratio and feature superb damping. The cabinet is designed with internal crossbracing to minimize unwanted vibrations and three rear-firing ports eliminate turbulant noise. There is also incresed baffle ribbing around the horn mouth for improved acoustics and premium binding posts for superior connectivity. The Klipsch RF-83 are sold by the pair and available in a cherry or black real wood veneer finish with magnetically attached speaker grills. The RF-83 is also sold as the L/R speakers in the Klipsch RF-83 home theater system.
