I bought this on sale with the RP-600 MKII speakers for a home theater set up. The sound dispersion is a bit narrow so if you have a set up for more than a couple of seating positions there will be a difference in sound if you are more than 30 degrees off to side of the speaker, but that is the case for most center channel speakers. If you are within that window, the sound is great. Dialogue is clear and crisp with weight to the sound. It can get quite loud and with the RP-600 Mkii for the front and rear surround i can hit 100Db making for a great home theater set up in a medium size room.

Movies and music sound amazing. Had to use 3 of these for my front soundstage due to space limitations ( see picture ). Many reviews say klipsch has a bright sound stage, but after listening, and returning many brands ( getting banned for excessive returns ), to me, the klipsch sound hits a home run. Love at first sound it was.

Ive done the proper 100 hour break-in on my Marantz Cinema 60. The textures, the details, and the midrange are very clean and well balanced. This speaker is not great with horizontal axis, meaning youll want to make sure it is tilted up directly to ear level. Once adjusted, it just sounds smooth and sweet. Dialogue is clear without any added sharpness. Well done Klipsch! This thing is a bargain.
