So far this has been a awesome experience and the sound is awesome. I also purchased the R-620F floorstanding speakers and they are awesome as well. I wish I had purchased them a long time ago as the sound is uncompairable with my old speakers. You will not be unhappy if you get these. And the price is awesome as well. Thanks Adorama for the business....

I bought this center channel speaker for my system after trying to use my old Energy center channel speaker and finding out it was simply too small for the room. The Energy was great for the old house but the new house has a bonus room that is 2+ time the size of the old one. I got tired of constantly fooling with the volume on the receiver to make the old Energy speaker work. Now I set it and forget it. I have the speaker paired with some Mica (don't knock it until you try it) in wall speakers. Since 60% of the sound of the system is from the center channel it makes sense to spend the money on the center channel speaker. I had to adjust the equalizer level by -2 dB for the Klipsch center channel speaker since the sensitivity and efficiency is so good. I adjusted ... MoreI bought this center channel speaker for my system after trying to use my old Energy center channel speaker and finding out it was simply too small for the room.

I adjusted the crossover to the subwoofer to 100 Hz so there is plenty of bottom end without being boomy. I'd buy it again in a heart beat. The system has never sounded better. This is my first Klispch. I can see why they carry the reputation they do. PS. The pics show the speaker under an 82" TV. Yes it is a big speaker.

We added the klipsch R-50C and couldn’t be happier. Great sound quality and clean bass. What I’m more impressed with is it’s ability to keep the words loud and clear without the music overpowering. Often times speakers have too much bass or get too loud during music, muffling out the dialogue. They did a great job with the set up of subs and tweeters here to ensure that doesn’t happen. Couldn’t be happier with this center speaker!

I have a system that I use for Video games, movies, TVs, and music. This replaced an older speaker I had, and what a difference it has made! The quality of the speaker is evident out of the box, but I was still surprised by sound quality. Crystal clear, and excellent quality. The speaker looks great, and doesn't have to be hidden. An excellent addition to my system, and I look forward to replacing more parts of it with Klipsch speakers.
I wasn't expecting great quality out of this center speaker from what I saw in the reviews on other websites. I'm hard of hearing in the higher tones and I have had Bose and Sony center speakers and had to jack up the sound and still couldn't hear the dialog clearly. But as soon as I installed this what a world of difference, I had to go into settings and lower the dB settings because it was drowning out my front speakers. For what is called a low-end speaker it sounds great.
Ok so I have in front me, Klipsch R-50c and R-30. I couldn't decide between them so I ordered two. At the moment I have Bose Acustimass IV and Yamaha 3060. It's a great match, but my centre needs an upgrade.Klipsch was my dream speakers for a long time. Now when I have them, they are connected to my home cinema, next to my tiny Bose centre speaker... I have no words. Klipsch's sound quality is very poor. Missing mids. High hearting my ears. Cost 5-6x more than my Bose... I'm posting them back first thing in the morning.I fought my house will be full of bearufill looking Klipsch but now I need to find good sounding speaker - not just good looking.

After quite a bit of reading and speaking with a number of folks, I finally decided on the R-52C as my center channel in my modest home theater setup. It is paired with the Klipsch RP-600M mains (yes, I've moved to small bookshelf speakers now). My rears and sub remain as Polk and an older Klispch 15" for now. I'm very happy with the sound from the R-52C, dialog is about 25-30% improved over my older center, which I'm very happy about. Can't wait to begin filling out the other channels.
The Klipsch brand is what my son talked me into. He is a huge Klipsch fan (and me too). We are from Indianapolis and find the Klipsch family story very inspiring. The speakers have incredible definition. The computerized, self-starting speaker balancing system is AWESOME. The speakers are more beautiful naked than with their clothes on (unlike some of us). They are powered by a new ONKYO system.BUT here is the icing on the cake: The superb attention to packaging and shipment by ADORAMA was outstanding. The delivery times were met or arrived sooner than expected. Order fulfillment was almost immediate and email communication from ADORAMA was outstanding.Thanks for a great product and great service ADORAMA!!
As a Klipsch owner for most of my life, I love their characteristic sound and nothing else in the price range can really compare. I have a decent set of the Andrew Jones designed Pioneer F52's and the matching center channel. On a super cheap budget those are hard to beat. But when the time comes to take your sound to the next level, this 'entry level' Reference line from Klipsch are worlds apart. It's not that the Pioneer are bad, it's that the Klipsch are that much better. Great for home theater, crisp clear dialog, everything you expect from a good center channel. It's even relatively musical. It is a sealed box enclosure which tightens up the bass response at the expense of hitting ultimate low end. Plan on running a larger set of main speakers or a sub in order ... MoreAs a Klipsch owner for most of my life, I love their characteristic sound and nothing else in the price range can really compare.

Plan on running a larger set of main speakers or a sub in order to get any meaningful bass from your system. This speaker is not designed to produce bass, and it doesn't. Regardless, they look great, sound better, and it's just a very hard line of speakers to ignore. Give it a listen - you won't be sorry!
