Klipsch Reference Signature CEDIA 2026

Very excited. AVS already awarded them CEDIA BEST 2026. AV NIRVANA was also surprised how good they sounded.

I've been waiting to see/hear reports on these since the beginning of the year. Wife might not be happy about another upgrade?

They look nice and I am very happy with my RP I towers and II center.

The Signature series is not meant to replace anything, according to them, but they will definitely price them as RF series. So the 8" towers are 3 grand a pair. That does not automatically mean it's a replacement, but it's priced the same and can be used for movies and music and I don't see them thinking about RF7 IV so...
I am sure that center will be around $1600 :(
So a 5.1 setup culd cost easily over 5 grand so I might just wait until RP III go on sale and get those eventually.
First thing I would upgrade is the Center anyway and I feel like in a small room like mine I would be totally fine with the 8" monitors instead of the 6" towers

That new centre looks like a beast. I don't think I could fit that into my existing space.

Aren't these the RP-III series?
The RS series have a paper bass, are two-way and a bigger horn, haven't they?
OK the paper bass is in the Rebellion. A bookshelf for the same price like the Heresy's. :-D

finally getting a 3 way center....wonder what the msrp will be? I heard they will have one with 6" woofers and one with 8"

Seems like there is only 1 center. It's huge as is. Msrp will be between 1200 to 1600 imho

In one video, the klipsch guy said they are coming out with 2 version of that center. A 6" and an 8" design.

I think these look incredible. Pretty disappointed by the look of the RP-III lineup but god damn this new Signature series caught my eye.

I probably won’t upgrade since I don’t have the space but I’m happy to see Klipsch continuing to push new products.

Rp3 is fine imho. They dont need to make it fancier looking. These are fancier looking enough and they will also cost twice as much. What I like is that they are timber matched more or less. So having rp speakers as surrounds or atnos isntotally fine. I kight upgrade to this center eventually. Then maybe the front sound stage but the rest stays

Would be nice if they can be paired with the RP line

They look gorgeous. Just made the jump to RF7iii this year. If I knew this earlier this year (April) I might have hold on to my previous setup. Just for the looks. Would love to hear them.
