Crisp and clear
||Posted .This little center channel work high above its paygrade. This thing offers clean crisp sound and drives hard the most important part of any movie, the dialog. This is just as good as any center twice its price. Highly recommend.

Cant go wrong with Klipsch
||Posted .One thing I would be Wary of is, How sensitive are you to sound? Klipsch are known to be very bright. If you can handle the highs I would go with a Klipsch set up! This center chain brings everything to life

Worth the upgrade.
||Posted .I upgraded from a smaller Klipsch center channel so this was an easy decision. The difference in upgraded clarity and volume is substantial. I highly recommend this speaker.

So much clarity
||Posted .Huge improvement over my old Yahama speakers I had. I coupled the R-25C with the R-15m for fronts and rear surrounds.

Solid sound
||Posted .Nice look, good sound with clear voices. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that the first one I bought I had to exchange because it was dead. I'm sure that's a rarity with speakers which is why I must have spent 30 min trying to trouble shoot something on my end before driving back to the store. The 2nd one worked like a charm.

Q: Questionwill I ruin the speaker using a 150watt rms amp, yamaha 679 model
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer No, you will be fine. In fact, the more power you have available, the safer it is for your speaker. What blows speakers isn't having too much power... It's having too little power, and the weaker amp is producing distortion trying to pump out high volume with too little power. The result is called "clipping", where the high-frequency noise created by a weak amp shreds the speakers. Having a high-powered amp doesn't mean that that power is constantly being delivered to your speakers. It means that that is the power that is AVAILABLE when needed, and that is usually in very short bursts. Most of the time, your amp is loafing, at 1 to 10% of its power. It's sort of like how you CAN lift 150 pounds, but that doesn't mean that you are always walking around carrying that much weight... But the ability to lift 150 pounds is there when you need it. So your speakers are in good hands with your powerful amp.

Q: QuestionCan I combine r-25c with rf-52 II towers
Asked by Prasad.
- A:Answer Absolutely!
Answered by Jay2thaC
Q: QuestionWould it be bad to pair this with my 2 T-50 Polk towers as my right and left fronts for a theater surround sound? Or do you recommend a Polk Center channel?? If so what do you recommend
Asked by KB.
- A:Answer Since the center speaker is an individual channel it doesn't matter what your side tower speakers are. It isn't a sole source system say like Bose or Sonos that only work with their systems only.

Q: Questionis there a difference between book shelf speakers and a center-channel speaker
Asked by lansolot.
- A:Answer Wow, all of these answers are bad. Center speakers are a compromise. They have worse off axis performance than bookshelves. If you can fit bookshelf speaker, fit a bookshelf. Having all matching speakers across the front, Left Center Right, is best for timbre matching. The next best thing is to match the brand and series of speaker. So for instance, If you have SVS ultra bookshelves, and cannot fit a another ultra bookshelf under your screen, you would want an SVS ultra center, and not an SVS Pinnacle or Aerial 5B. Timbre matching allows for a smooth transition when a sound pans from speaker to speaker. I cannot emphasize this enough, center speakers underperform against equivalent bookshelves. They may look more impressive, but their tweeter axis is inferior.

Q: Questioncan i wall mount this speaker
Asked by Duggineni.
- A:Answer Directly, no. It's not light, and I wouldn't recommend drilling or cutting into the housing. I built a small, stud mounted shelf for it to sit on. The shelf isn't even noticeable.
