Reference Premiere III brings advanced acoustics and refined design to deliver legendary sound to a broader range of listeners.

RALEIGH, NC (August 7, 2026) — Klipsch, celebrating 80 years of legendary American Sound, today unveils the latest evolution of its acclaimed Reference Premiere loudspeakers and announces the global debut of the new Reference PremiereIII Series at Audio Advice Live 2026 in Raleigh, NC.

The RP III Series features advanced acoustics and refined design in its focused nine-model lineup, meeting the needs of today’s consumers and offering premium listening solutions for everything from high-performance two-channel music systems to immersive home theaters.

• Floorstanding speakers: RP-8263FA (Dolby Atmos integrated), RP-8020F, and RP-6203F
• Monitors: RP-6103M and RP-5103M
• Center-channel speakers: RP-5203C and RP-5403C
• Surround speakers: RP-5203S and RP-5103SA (Dolby Atmos enabled)

The two-way design of the Reference Premiere III series features a new high-density axial Tractrix^® horn tweeter with upgraded BMC material to reduce resonance, flush-mounted to the cabinet to minimize wave breakup and measurably improve off-axis response for a wider sweet spot. Klipsch’s signature copper Cerametallic™ woofers deliver powerful, controlled bass. Together they create the dynamic, detailed sound that has made the Klipsch a worldwide favorite among music lovers and home theater enthusiasts alike. New metal outrigging feet help isolate the cabinet from the floor, further reducing cabinet resonance and tightening response.

The series supports immersive Dolby Atmos home theater configurations, with the flagship RP-8263FA floorstanding speaker featuring integrated upfiring height drivers. Alternatively, the versatile RP-5103SA can be used as a Dolby Atmos elevation speaker positioned atop floorstanding or bookshelf models, or mounted to the wall.

For listeners seeking even greater low-frequency performance, the series seamlessly pairs with Klipsch Reference Premiere Subwoofers, now with a choice of compact sealed or full-size ported models, making it easy to create a complete home-theater system capable of delivering powerful, room-filling bass while maintaining the visual appeal with the classic black and copper aesthetic for the system.

Klipsch’s Reference Premiere speakers also pair easily with compatible Onkyo A/V receivers through the Klipsch Optimized Mode. This incredibly convenient feature simplifies setup by automatically applying crossover settings designed for select models, to help users get the most from their systems.

The Reference Premiere III Series introduces a sleek, refined industrial design that fits well within modern living spaces. Available in Ebony and Walnut finishes, the new knife-edge cabinets improve structural rigidity while delivering a clean, contemporary appearance. The floorstanding models include adjustable metal outrigger feet that provide increased stability and precise positioning, while all models feature iconic copper accents, floating fabric grilles, and updated rear input panels to reinforce the RP III Series premium look and feel.

Designed and engineered in the USA, the RP III series builds on eight decades of acoustic innovation to bring Klipsch’s legendary sound to more music lovers and home-theater enthusiasts.

All models will be available in October on www.Homepageklipsch.com and from Klipsch authorized retailers.
