Perfect
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I purchased the R -34C to replace my Klipsch R-25c. A few places on the websites like to compare two. There's no comparing the two. The dialogue is clean and clear with the 34c. You won't have an issue watching movies and hearing people talk.

Klipsch for the win!!
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Best center channel speaker I've owned. The Polk center channel speaker i had doesn't compare to this R-34C. Doesn't matter what you're listening to, this speaker will reproduce any sound crystal clear. Built quality is excellent! Got it on sale for $299!! Worth every dollar!!

Excellent Center Fits under TV
||Posted .Owned for 11 months when reviewed.The price is a bit hard to swallow especially when you can buy the dual 5.25” center for less. However this one fits under my TV. That is the biggest selling point of this center. I was worried the small speaker size wouldn’t sound good but after calibration on my denon x4700h it sounds good and matches well with my r610f fronts.

R-34C upgrade!
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I switched from the Klipsch R-52C to this R-34C and the difference can be instantly heard. The vocals are more crisp, clear and louder. This is not a knock against the R-52C because I still love it as well. In fact, I’m moving it to my bedroom along with my original towers, that I replaced with the Dolby Atmos R-625FA. You can’t go wrong with Klipsch.

Klipsch pricy but wow what a difference
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This center speaker replaced a small and old Yamaha one. I had a set of JBL towers and we were having trouble hearing the dialog on movies. I thought I had a bad amplifier or just my hearing. My daughter mentioned that she also had a hard time with the dialog. After some investigation I noted that the towers were driving well but very weak center volume even when adjusting the center up 6 dB. So I needed a better center speaker. I didn't want to spend what I ended up paying for this center but I am glad I got it. What a difference to my sound system, crisp and clear dialog. It keeps up with the towers but doesn't overwhelm the 3D sound. It fits nicely on the media center.

Not Impressed
||Posted .Very attractive. This was my first Klipsch product I've ever owned and was not thrilled with the sound quality. For $350 I was expecting much better sound.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionWhat would be the difference in sound between this Klipsch speaker and the "Klipsch Reference Series Dual 6-1/2" 400-Watt Passive 2-Way Floor Speaker" for front left and right channel surround sound speakers (as channel is assigned by the receiver)?
Asked by Ryan.
- A:Answer The difference is the towers sound great and seamlessly blend together very well making u think u have a center channel because of how the tweeter ports are made also the center channel sounds great by itself so if u want more bass go with the towers but if u want clarity but minimal bass response the center channel is for u both work great together
Answered by Brando
Q: QuestionI need to wall mount it over my TV as there is no place between the TV and the mantel over which it is mounted. This would require the speaker to be tilted slightly downwards. Are there mounts available to do this for this speaker or any suggestions?
Asked by Priyo.
- A:Answer If you leave the screws out a little farther the speaker will naturally want to point down. That’s what I did on my wall installation to match the tilt of my TV.

Q: QuestionHello. I started building my home theater system with two Klipsch Reference Series Dual 6-1/2" 400-Watt Passive 2-Way Floor Speakers, and now I want to add this Klipsch center channel speaker to it. Is this a good setup, or should I add wall speakers?
Asked by msajaja.
- A:Answer Do not put floor speakers in the wall!, You need 3 ft. Distance away from the wall for air to travel through speaker. They make interior wall speakers very expensive. You can add this center speaker to you floor speakers and you will be very happy.

Q: Questionhave Pioneer SCLX904 its RMS is rated at 140w per channel, confused at matching new speakers with the receivers RMS and total power. this center is 100rms and 400w peak. do you stay at or below the receivers rms for speakers ?
Asked by preorder.
- A:Answer Basically, You want to ensure, that your peek is not exceeded and you have a good margin, if the numbers you posted are accurate. I'd say you are perfect. Keep in mind, that the center channel, which primarily handles dialog, will most likely need to be adjusted in your setup +/- db...

Q: QuestionI want to use this center with R-820-F floor standing speakers. Think it is a good match? I currently have the RW-12D subwoofer.
Asked by SixtiesWereBest.
- A:Answer ABSOLUTELY!! I currently use the R-34C center speaker with the same Reference Series R-620F's, R-100SW, R-51M's & R-41SA's speakers with an Onkyo TX-RZ620 home theater receiver and they rock the house. The sound is powerful and crisp. This is an excellent center speaker and you wont be disappointed.

Q: QuestionWill my Denon AVR S760H 7.2ch 8K AV Receiver be able to handle this center-channel speaker?
Asked by nouseforaname.
- A:Answer The Denon AVR S760H supplies 75 watts per channel into 8 ohms (20-20,000 Hz) at 0.08% THD, with 2 channels driven. This receiver would be okay to drive the R-34C at moderate volume levels. To get the most out of this speaker, we suggest pairing the speaker with a receiver that supplies close to 100 Watts at 8 Ohms.
