    I had been using the previous generation R-34C center channel since it came out in 2018 was content on keeping it for as long as I could. It sounded great, but at times, voices and music felt tinny, harsh and confined. I saw that Klipsch had recently came out with a new generation of reference speakers that had “trickle down” technology from their reference premier line. I read multiple positive reviews about how much better the sound quality was from the previous generation due to updated driver materials as well as new horn loaded tweeters. I decided to stop at Best Buy and purchase the new gen center channel as well as the new R-50M’s to go with it. If I wasn’t I could always return them. If need be. After connecting the new speakers to my Denon receiver, I was sincerely and truly amazed by how much better the sound quality was. There was not a hint of screeching/over-sibilant highs or muddy lows/mids. Everything was perfectly balanced and smooth and had excellent clarity. They sound MUCH bigger then they are. They also sound as good if not better then more expensive brands. The new horn tech has definitely improved, and I can actually hear so much more detail when watching movies and listening to music. Klipsch absolutely nailed the new generation reference line.

    Doesn't matter if I watch TV, Movies, listen to music or play games....anything and I mean ANYTHING I listen to has the clearest vocal soundstage I have heard. As far as clarity it gives a much higher priced and larger Martin Logan center a run for its money. Once you get past the lower mids is the only place bigger more expensive units may start to take the cake. But for me I have other speakers that are tuned to hit those, plus its wider soundstage allows it to blend seamlessly allowing for the strong clear voices to continue to shine. Plus if you have a receiver that allows you to widen your center stage (if that you thing) because of the 5 speaker design and wide placement, this is the center that will fill your needs while saving you some $$.

    Excellent center channel speaker. My old center channel speaker was just too small. Sometimes my family and I would miss certain words in a movie due to this. This speaker has made a huge difference, I should have upgraded years ago.

    I have a larger version of this speaker in the home theater. Love it. This is not that but it does provide excellent sound in a smaller package. If you are looking for a space saving center channel with great clarity, look no further. Exactly what I wanted in the family room. Bought open box. Great price.

    These speakers are great! Very powerful for your center stage. Build quality is amazing like all Klipsch products. My only slight issue was that the sound is a bit muddy. The center channel is used mostly for dialogue so it needs to be accurate for the high treble, but it's very boomy. I needed to EQ some high end and remove most of its low end for the clarity to really shine. Other than that its great!

    Honestly, I couldn't find any reviews on this piece so I will write my own. Firstly, it's crystal clear and definitely a center piece. Secondly, it looks good. The copper and black just goes together

    Fantastic speakers for a home system. Plugged into an Onkyo tx-nr646 and they sound fantastic and im barely pushing them. I also picked up banana plugs to plug in all the wires, I've just shoved them in the screw holes in the past but wanted to do it right with these.

    Looks great! Sounds better! Full sound. Not tinny. May have to up the dB for center channel on receiver, but it can handle it.
