Klipsch RP-5000FWII Floor Standing Speaker
The Klipsch RP-5000FWII is a floor standing speaker designed for home audio enthusiasts seeking high-fidelity stereo or multi-channel surround sound. Its horn-loaded design focuses high frequencies toward the listening area for detailed audio reproduction. This single unit suits buyers building a premium music or home theater system.
Dual Input Terminals and Tractrix Ports
Dual input terminals on the rear panel allow bi-wiring or bi-amping configurations for greater signal control. Bass reflex is handled by dual chamber rear-firing Tractrix ports that extend low-frequency response. Additional internal bracing and a divided cabinet structure reduce unwanted resonance. Rear port placement requires clearance from the back wall for optimal performance.
Horn-Loaded Design and Sensitivity
The enlarged horn increases soundstage width and improves directivity control across the listening area. High sensitivity from horn loading delivers ample volume with modest amplifier power. Buyers needing deep sub-bass extension below the port tuning frequency will require a separate subwoofer. The passive design also means an external amplifier or receiver is mandatory.

Questions about this item
What do the dual input terminals on the Klipsch RP-5000FWII enable?
The dual input terminals support bi-wiring or bi-amping configurations, allowing separate cable runs for the high and low frequency drivers to reduce interference and improve clarity.
How much rear clearance does the rear-firing Tractrix port design require?
The dual-chamber rear-firing ports need several inches of space from the back wall to prevent bass boom and allow the reflex tuning to work as intended.
What is the correct way to connect speaker wire to the bi-wire terminals?
Remove the metal jumpers linking the upper and lower binding posts, then run separate wire pairs from the amplifier to each terminal set for true bi-wiring or bi-amping.
