Review on Klipsch RP 500C Center Channel Speaker by Scott Richardson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Obtain. That. Currently. on speaker

Like many others, I bought the RP-500C to replace the R-25C because it was the "right" center speaker for my R-625FA network, but the R -25C is a piece of garbage. No amount of tuning could make it sound anything but square, intricate and punchy. Frankly, Klipsch should be ashamed. On the other hand, the RP-500C is worth every penny. It's crisp, clear and powerful. It handles dialogue, music, and sound effects with ease. Audiophiles will tell you that the RP-500C doesn't sound like my network, and it's absolutely true. Do I want to upgrade my network? Yes. But since I use my system almost exclusively for watching movies, I'd rather have my hub shadowing my network than the other way around. 52C) to save some money, don't do it. You will regret it. Get RP-500C. You will not be disappointed. Buy it. That. Currently.
