Review on 🔊 Klipsch RC42IIBL Center Speaker - Black Finish - Individual Unit by David Plunkett

Got this to upgrade a normal center channel speaker to the Klipsch Icon Series speakers. Klipsch Icon isn't a "reference" brand, but they had a crazy deal with a local system and sounded really good to me. Icons are no longer created, so this is not an upgrade option. Most importantly, I also needed the new center speaker to fit the small >8" hole in my home theater table and still allow for the enhanced audio fidelity I was looking for. Both requirements were thus perfectly met. I also had some problems. except for installing a small hole. First, will the speaker's small size handle both dialogue and music equally well in a large mix? Second, the speaker's small size will work well with the old Icon 2X8 speakers.” In other words, will the reference speaker sound better than the Icons, and will they sound flat and muffled in comparison? I also noticed that immediately with the old ones on the amplifier, all I had to do was adjust the crossover, the width and the level of the center speaker in the receiver, and this center speaker now sounds like it was made for icons and suppresses the old icons difference in dialogue and claims he hears everything clearly now. I too can hear the difference I've been looking for. The smallest center speaker from Klipsch has a powerful sound and musically pairs well with larger old speakers. Got it at a reduced price and am very happy with my purchase I would recommend Klipsch speakers to anyone looking for greater clarity and production value. Those who want to hear the sound as it is created will not be disappointed by the reference brand.
