The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

The center was taken as part of a set of 5 Klipsch columns. Prior to that, the center was Heko Aurora. As if not a bad center, but the sound did not suit me. This Klipsh is superior to Aurora in everything except the legs. But you need to adjust the sound with an equalizer. Let now someone notably light up the fifth point from the word "equalizer", but I want to listen as I like. Maybe someday I'll make up my mind and disassemble this column in order to dampen the rumble of the case with…

Pros
  • First of all, the appearance and the fact that the crossover is three lanes. The sound, for my taste and needs, is good, but you have to conjure.
Cons
  • The greed of manufacturers who feel sorry for at least some semblance of legs to make, instead of indistinct squares, 2 mm thick. Before that, there was a Heko Aurora center and the Germans were not too lazy in it, they made normal rubber legs with bolts. Klipsch's body is 35 cm deep, which already pushes it decently away from the TV, and the phase inverter pipe requires it to be pushed at least another 20 centimeters forward. I think developers don't care about consumer convenience. Well, or it is meant to put a column in the center of the hall. Such a volume requires much more rigidity. Make the walls thicker or put more spacers or paste over with a sound absorber. But there is none of that. Greed again. The case, especially in the middle, responds to tapping with a low sound, and when played back, it resonates well, adding a rumble to male voices, making them louder, but less legible. Baritones are hard to listen to. And in general, the rumble of the case is wildly unpleasant. Therefore, I had to play around with the equalizer in order to compensate for the rumble and increase the intelligibility of voices and the overall detail of the sounds.

Klipsch for Klipsch

Bought this center channel to replace the Klipsch RP-440C. Absolutely everything was fine with the 440C, I just wanted more presence in the center when installing my new theater space. I'm definitely happy with the purchase, the dialogue is centered and the action is more intense now, of course it could be a placebo but I'm swallowing that pill and sticking with my ear's conviction. The sound is a good Klipsch standard and goes well with the Klipsch RP-250F front, surround and surrounds in my…

  • Fingers crossed

Perfect center channel

Much larger than the R-52C it replaces. It definitely sounds clearer. The style of reference and reference premieres is different. I like the gold screws on the reference, but the wood finish on the premiere is much nicer. It's a lot heavier, probably around 50 pounds. Great for movies. You need a good home theater center. *Please note that Klipsch speakers accept banana plugs. You need to remove the cap, see photo. I've seen a few reviews from other speakers complaining that this isn't the…

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Best investment for my home theater

I had an old Yamaha center speaker, I could never hear 5.1 surround dialogue clearly. I always had to mute the TV to compensate or switch to 2.1 stereo. I think my center speaker wasn't powerful enough. I'm not a music lover or a techie when it comes to stereo systems. I only know if it sounds good or bad. I decided to up my game with these powerful center speakers. Don't laugh but I thought it has 4 speakers compared to the two on my Yamaha, that should be better right? I have a pair of…

Pros
  • Special offer
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Sounds good, not quite sky high

This is a pretty good center speaker and a big improvement over our 25 year old Qef. If anyone is impressed by the shear weight and number of drivers then this is for you. It's better to have a big, solid place to put it. As for the audio, the propaganda made me think I could hear clear dialogue again. Well, not like that. It's been greatly improved, but we still frequently turn on subtitles. Despite the massive size and cost, it can be 30-40% better than the old single Qef speaker. Since we…

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • New Competitors

Huge size! Huge weight! Massive sound presence!

This is a high quality center channel speaker. Incredibly clear dialogue and central presence make watching a movie a real pleasure. Paired with a set of reference Klipsch RF-280F Premier main speakers, this is the real deal. It's like having a real band in my living room. The bass isn't as pronounced as I expected given the massive size of these furniture-grade speakers, but the Sub really is designed for audible bass. When the material calls for subtle low frequencies as a reference speaker…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Useless functions
