Klipsch Debuts Reference Premiere III Series at Audio Advice Live 2026

Klipsch has unveiled the latest evolution of its Reference Premiere loudspeakers and has announced the global debut of the new Reference Premiere III 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 2-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. 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 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.

Klipsch’s Reference Premiere speakers also pair with compatible Onkyo AV receivers through the Klipsch Optimized Mode. This 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 copper accents, floating fabric grilles, and updated rear input panels to reinforce the RP III Series premium look and feel.

All models will be available in October on www.klipsch.com and from Klipsch authorized retailers at the following MSRPs.
