Review on Klipsch RP-450C Walnut Center Channel Speaker with Enhanced SEO by William Whisperer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Klipsch, I've never had a bad experience

As for the seller, Audio Distributors, I'm glad they made a profit on this sale. I was ready to receive this center speaker and really wanted it to arrive by the weekend. He only had the hazel color in stock so I informed him of the color and he responded within minutes. The 2-day delivery was tight, but since he responds quickly, it arrived on time. He hasn't had the black in weeks so he upgraded me to a newer model which will reflect the review below but this seller is on point and to say it is very helpful would be a sale below value. Thank you for great customer service and customer satisfaction. As for the product, it's 504c, basically the same specs, just a few years newer model. It's got about 6 hours of playtime, so it's still relaxing, but the dialogue in both the movies and the music is clear as day. I'm a person who loves heavy bass and while this isn't a woofer or subwoofer, the outer speakers go lower and the inner speakers become midrange and horn, the famous Klipsch horn conveys the words perfectly. A little deep bass from the front towers. The side towers and rear towers with subwoofers sound great so far. Not only does this center speaker deliver a serious listening experience because of its size, but the famous Klipsch speaker color is also very nice. We listen to everything from classical to rap and it made me smile to hear the purity of not only the vocals but the instruments as well. As for the films, no one was asked what they said, from loud to whispering, there was no sign of distortion at all. I had the 62ii which is a good mid-range choice but at times I felt empty. While it's still a solid choice, it can't even compare to it for obvious reasons. So for what I paid and what we've heard so far everyone is smiling. It's not cheap, but if you treat your speakers right, they'll last you for years as long as we're getting entertainment that just sounds great. The photo shows the shelf on which it stands. If it's hard to see, it's because this dark black speaker takes up the entire shelf it sits on. Couldn't fit on the top shelf under the TV as the TV is at the highest point and the speaker covers about an inch of the screen a bit. I had to remount the receiver on the bottom shelf as the center speaker doesn't need to be on the floor. Direct to the audience is best, and the sound is so clear that even from the side seats, dialogue sounds like it's coming straight from you. If you're looking in this price range and want serious sound, be prepared to hear it. While any 100-watt receiver will power them, it requires at least 150 watts. I'm just curious how I can further improve the sound performance.
