- Peak Power Handling: 400 watts (The maximum amount of power an electronic device, like a speaker, can handle without damage. This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)
- Impedance: 8 ohms (Describes the resistance of an electric signal throughout the system. Devices with low impedance require less power to deliver optimal signals but are more at risk for damage from overloading. Higher impedance requires more power but is more protected from overload damage.)
- Minimum Frequency Response: 25 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
- Maximum Frequency Response: 56 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The maximum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)

- High Resolution Audio: true (Hear music the way musicians and sound technicians intended it to be heard. Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)

Good Home theater speaker
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.

Good sound profile.
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.

Reference II Center
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.
