Floorstanding loudspeakers — Klipsch R-605FA

The R-605FA is a floorstanding loudspeaker from Klipsch, sharing the R-600F's electrical specifications with an added upward-firing height-channel driver referenced in the model naming. The R-605FA brings Klipsch's considered engineering to an accessible floorstanding format suited to Dolby Atmos setups.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 38Hz to 21,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB, matching the R-600F. Sensitivity is an extraordinary 96dB into the standard 8 ohm load, also matching. Recommended amplifier power spans a wide 100-400W, also matching. At 101.7 x 24.0 x 46.3cm and 22.7kg, the R-605FA is somewhat deeper and heavier than the R-600F, reflecting the added upward-firing height-channel driver.

Sound and use context

Expect explosive dynamic headroom reflecting the extraordinary 96dB sensitivity, with the added upward-firing driver providing genuine height-channel capability for Dolby Atmos and DTS -X object-based surround formats.

Pairing

The added upward-firing driver integrates directly with a Dolby Atmos or DTS -X-capable AV receiver for genuine height-channel reproduction.

Alternatives

Klipsch's own R-600F offers a more accessible alternative without the height-channel driver within the same broader Reference catalogue.
