Customer Ratings & Reviews

I hear every word with this center channel. The dialogue is more apparent. To start, the look and style of this speaker are great, just like the rest of the reference series, with black on black and magnetic grilles, copper woofers and that famous Klipsch horn tweeter. I like the act that the speaker itself is somewhat low profile and does not sit to high up. The width of the speaker is about average compared to the center channel this replaced. I like the mounting holes on the back, which opens up more options for mounting to a wall, which is great for saving space on my entertainment stand. The highs and mid range are detailed and clear thanks to that horn tweeter. The four woofers provide excellent mid-bass and low end. Combined, these drivers provide a depth to the sound that really brings the dialogue to life. The sound blends well with the rest of the speakers, that are also the same series by Klipsch. The connections are simple, yet effective, banana plug binding posts. I like this cause it makes it easy to connect and disconnect when using banana plugs instead of bare wire. Overall, I am very pleased with this center channel.

If there is anything you need to know about speakers, then its this. This brand is one of the top retail options out there without breaking the bank. I recently installed a surround sound system and added this center channel into the mix. The center channel speaker is build very sturdy and is capable of pumping out some serious sound. The speaker it self is as straight forward as possible as it only has 2 speaker inputs on the back which makes it super self explanatory for any future DIY surround sounders out there. Assuming that the speaker is properly plugged into the correct respective outputs on your receiver then you should be good to go. The base is deep and the treble is as crisp as can be. One small thing I would change would be the height, my previous center channel is a smidge smaller and still pumps out comparative sound. All in all, if you are looking for a very solid, retail speaker set and unit then I would highly recommend this and any accompanying speakers for your future set up.

Really like the sound quality and ease of setup. Good value.

Ohh man when you see bronzy/gold base with a nicely polished wooden frame, it screams awesomeness! Im a happy camper with this purchase. The sound is what we pay for, aside from the cosmetics. Ya def recommend, the accoustics & base are well balanced & the money you fork out, isn't regretted, def recommend!

Quite easily the BEST speakers ever built. Anyone looking for a robust sound for your Home theater system, you can NEVER go wrong with Klipsch...ask anyone who owns any of their speakers...they will tell you the exact thing.

Great center channel The sound that comes out is great and so clean and looks great

This review is for the following 7.1 setup: Onkyo TX-NR6100 receiver Klipsch R-101SW subwoofer Klipsch R-30C - center Klipsch R-40SA - height surround Klipsch R-50M - back surround Klipsch R-600F - front speakers It was time to upgrade my 20 year old 5.1 system that didn't really have much bass to the latest technology. Let me just tell you, huge difference. Speech comes through nice and clear in the center channel. This has got to be the best 10" subwoofer I have ever heard. It completely fills the whole room with bass. No weird distortions from the speaker or box, Just awesome bass. You can control the bass with the gain and low pass knobs on the back to get the perfect punch that you want. You can also put it on standby mode so that it will shut off if it doesn't detect any sound. Speakers arrived on a palette. The boxes made them seem larger but it was just good packaging. The grill came with some packing behind them for protection. The grill is also magnetic except on the subwoofer, so they are really easy to remove and put back on. On the back of the R-600F it has two connections at the bottom. The main and the height. You can connect your R-40SA with supplied cables to the Dolby Atmos connection in one of the pictures as long as you have wires running to the height connection at the bottom. I have included pictures that show the vinyl up close and they look great with the copper colored speakers. The tweeters on these speakers let you stand anywhere in the room and still get about the same awesome sound. The copper colored speakers provide a nice mid-range. Each speaker on its own doesn't do much but when you combine them all it is audio bliss. Sounds just come from every where while watching a movie and the explosions make you feel like you are in the scene. I can actually hear things in songs I didn't hear before. Even at high levels they still sound great. You will not regret this purchase. Really happy to own this setup.

This made the difference in my sound system. It matches my side speakers same brand. I love it!

El mejor center Chanel que he comprado, buena fidelidad, voces se escuchan perfectamente

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.

Great Center channel Spear, crisp clean sound!! Football games came Alive....

My 20 year old sub woofer died yesterday, so today I refreshed my home theater setup with a 12" Klipsch sub, a pair of 5¼" bookshelf speakers for fronts and this center speaker. I can now hear the dialog without having to ride the volume up and down. My old stuff was 20+ years old and served me well, but the Klipsch line is next level. After calibrating everything, I started playing the first 15 minutes of several movies and was totally blown away. I was only going to get a new sub, but thanks to awesome BB Black Friday deals, I went all-in. Now, my home theater system sounds as good as if I were sitting in a theater. I run them all through my Denon X-3711 AVR. I highly recommend Klipsch, who put out high-quality products!

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.

Plug and play. I like that it is passively powered and doesnt require external power. Sounds great too. I got the open box from a local store, has no visual or material defects. I paired it with two reference speakers for a 3.1 setup. Upgraded from a 5.1 sound bar setup, very happy with it so far. Voices are much clearer compared to the soundbar.

Love them speakers they are good quality it’s worth the money

Great sound! I was in need of a center channel speaker that was small enough to fit my entertainment center. This exceeded my expectations.

This works great for my entertainment setup. Very satisfying with the quality of the product.

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.

Its awesome, it looks great and sounds even better.

Incredible sound and worth the investment. Would buy again.
