This is a video survey of my Home Theater system featuring 7 Klipsch speakers, a 7. 2 Yamaha Reciever, and a 60 Vizio 4k TV. I purchased the...
The RF-52 helps round out Klipsch's overwhelming popular and extensive reference line of loudspeakers. With an RF model for virtually every taste, budget and system it can be hard deciding which one is right for you, which is why Home Theater Review took the compact RF-52 for a test drive.
The $658.00 per pair (MSRP) RF-52 utilizes a 1-inch titanium tweeter with a neodymium magnet motor structure, mated to a 90 by 60 degree square Tractrix® Horn, the latest generation of its famous horn loudspeaker technology. Klipsch believes in using the least amount of amplifier power as possible when driving a loudspeaker, in that it minimizes amplifier effort and, therefore, distortion. Analogous to the cheerleader"s bullhorn effect, Klipsch attaches a horn to the front of a driver to mechanically amplify its output. While this type of design has certainly fueled more than one argument over the years, it offers a few unequivocal advantages. Klipsch speakers play loud and clear with very little power, and offer sensational dynamic peaks and crispness. According to the company, Tractrix® refines the shape of the horn to improve smoothness and detail. Horn manufacturers have had to refine their basic design in order to reduce the honkiness typically associated with horns, along with directionality and lack of dispersion. The tweeter crosses over at 1.9kHz to two 5.25-inch copper-colored woofers composed of Klipsch"s Cerametallic material (anodized aluminum with a ceramic-like coating) which exhibits a very high stiffness-to-mass ratio and superb damping characteristics, according to the company. The RF-52 employs a rear-firing port, which fits nicely into the cabinet with a plastic fitting. The RF-52 provides dual sets of five-way gold-plated binding posts for bi-wiring/bi-amping. As with the other models in this series, Klipsch did an excellent job with the rear panel. It looks great, and really exudes high quality and design. The RF-52 employs good-looking claw-style feet that protrude from the sides of the cabinet, and includes spikes for easy coupling to the floor. The RF-52 has a Black Woodgrain Vinyl finish, and offers magnetically-attached grills which make removal easy for those that like the slightly aggressive look of the copper woofer, driver arrangement, plastic baffle and set screws. Measuring 37.6 inches high by 6.75 inches wide by 14.25 inches deep and weighing in at 38 pounds, the RF-52 offers a pretty compact footprint and some heft. Overall, the RF-52 provides a very good level of fit and finish, with the baffle"s smooth plastic complemented nicely by the woodgrain vinyl, and the cooper woofers providing an interesting, aggressive look.
The RF-82 loudspeakers from famed manufacturer Klipsch are third in the line among their reference series, sitting below the RF-63 and the largest RF-83. The RF-82 is a compact, high performance loudspeaker that is equally adept at both home theater and two-channel playback.
Part of its diverse Reference Series of slightly upmarket loudspeakers featuring a staggering twenty models, the Klipsch RF-82 Floorstanding Loudspeaker sits third from the top in its six-model floorstanding class (RF-83, RF-63, RF-82, RF-82, RF-52, RF-10).

Rf10 with h100 and rw8 subs. Not bad at all for some 4. 5 woofer.
Second from the top in Klipsch's reference series of loudspeaker the RF-63 packs a lot of the same performance of the larger RF-83 into a slightly more compact and affordable design. The RF-63 is capable of theater like sound levels and possesses Klipsch's signature dynamic capabilities and iconic sound.
Klipsch will never be accused of lack of production, leadership, or general (polite) aggression. This is a company that does things its way, and why shouldn"t they? Klipsch has earned its status as one of the top loudspeaker companies in the world, building on its own product and innovation reputation while also steadily gobbling up its competition. The Klipsch Group now owns Mirage , Energy , Athena, and Jamo , and earlier this year Kadence Designs named Klipsch the official U.S. distributor and licensee of the LightSpeaker , the first product to combine efficient LED lighting and wireless ambient sound into a single unit that installs like a light bulb.
