Patented Wave Launch technology creates the illusion that the speakers are in front of you, not above you

  • Two 5-1/4 inch cast basket drivers and 6-1/2 inch pressure-coupled Low Bass radiators for impressive deep bass with high impact punch
  • Integrated wood enclosure ensures consistent high performance every time
  • One 1 inch Pure aluminum dome tweeter
  • Installs in either new or existing construction applications

Definitive Reference Architectural Speakers are perfect for bringing spectacular-sounding, high-performance "invisible" home theater systems into every room in your house.

The Reference Ceiling Speaker II (RCS II) is intended for use as an in-ceiling front main left, center or right channel speaker in custom installed home theater systems of the highest quality. In addition, it can be used as a superb left or right speaker in a high quality stereo music system.

The RCS II features a non-resonant sealed medite (a dense wood product) enclosure to deliver the tight, detailed bass and uncolored midrange of audiophile free-standing speakers in every installation. The performance of open back built-in speakers will vary depending on the nature of the wall/ceiling cavity behind the speaker. But Definitive Reference speakers with integrated enclosures sound superb every time. Six rotating dogleg clamps and beefy wood screws make the RCS II easy to install in either new or existing construction and provide secure, non-resonant mounting for ultimate audiophile performance free of vibrations and buzzes.

The RCS II features a D'Appolito driver array angled down and aimed at the listening area (two 5-1/4" cast-basket bass/midrange drivers and a 1" pure aluminum tweeter) as well as two 6-1/2" pressure-coupled planar low bass radiators. Proprietary Wave Launch (patent pending) baffle geometry and acoustic treatment materials serve to create the illusion that the speakers are directly in front of the listener rather than up in the ceiling. The precisely configured dual angled baffles incorporate a uniquely effective acoustic treatment which combines a computer-optimized ribbed surface with special dampening panels in order to achieve a linear uncolored sound combined with box-less three-dimensional imaging in which acoustic events seem to effortlessly float in space. In fact, the overall sonic performance of the RCS II is truly remarkable, combining breath-taking dynamics, engrossing musical subtlety and amazingly spacious imaging that totally belies its in-ceiling configuration.

In addition, the RCS II with its active driver/bass radiator combination achieves an extended low-frequency response, which is deep and dynamic with a smooth and controlled roll-off that allows it to seamlessly blend with a subwoofer with a quality that has never been previously achieved in an in-ceiling system. Of course, the in-wall IWSub 10/10 or UIW Sub Reference are perfect complements to the RCS II for unmatched performance in a stealth home theater.

Hearing things I never heard before! Awesome sound and clarity…..

Fast customer service. Mounted the speakers under the roof overhang of sun room facing my pool.sound fills the pool deck area, sound great, and have great power. Would buy again

Safe and Sound was right this table is beautiful once out of the box

It just what I expected, I'm just enjoying all the sounds from the "Music "

Thank you Safe and Sound for the attention to detail with my order! My speàkers were securely packaged for shipping and arrived in perfect condition! Outstanding service!

These are my favorite Klipsch bookshelf speakers, this is my third pair to purchase

The power conditioner is working great and i am very happy with it.

Great recommendation. Great equipment.

I love being able to give my Forte IVs a completely different vintage look by easily swapping my grill sets out.

Showed up literally the next day, and would have never known that it was an open box. This is the 2nd time I have purchased a large ticket item from them and the 2nd time they have absolutely impressed.

Fantastic!! They sound great!!

Well built and generally sound design. Two flaws (one apparent and one potential); transport appears clunky and flimsy and although it shows in its photos having power meters, there are no obvious ways to access that feature as there is no manual and the online manual doesn’t discuss it. Lastly, I seem to keep having drop outs with Apple Music streaming. Not sure if it is the Apple App, the wifi or BT reception.

Significant step up from the 2M Blue. Very happy with this purchase.

Actually heavier than it looks, which suggests some real components inside. Setup was super easy. The sound through my Rotel RC10670 and RB1070 feeding B&W 805 S speakers and HSU subwoofer is great. Dead silent when there’s no music. VeryAccurate sound.

Very impressive and easy to use. Great for streaming music!

The cables are settling in and sounding great.
By chance do you have a Martin Logan Stage X inventory or know where I can get one?

sounds great - color isn't excactly what I saw online

Easy to use; quiet operation; music quality very good for the price.

the cable is what it states it is big and heavy and flows a lot of power needed

Great streaning amp. I love that it looks like my old Yamaha CA-810 amp. However, all of the new tech and connections make the R-N2000A a more than worthy successor.

Great entry level audiophile turntable!

The Eversolo A-8 is a beautiful and very functional DAC Streamers. Aaron service was on point. All thumbs up for Safe and Sound
