    This Klipsch center speaker pumps out some decent SPL and is always clear sounding without any breakup at high volume. You can never get this level of sound out of most low cost sound bars.

    I was looking for a new center channel speaker after doing a remodel. I looked at several before deciding on the Klipsch. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Great sound great looks great price.

    Its not as large as the others which is good for placing it on an entertainment center. We used to have to crank the volume to hear people talking in movies but this speaker fixed all that.

    These entry level speakers are affordable while maintaining the same quality materials and powerful sound as their top of the line products that Klipsch is famous for. Great for home theater or music!

    Added the center speaker to the sub and largest towers. Definitely made for an entirely different sound - huge impact for movies for the better, but did not improve sound quality on music.

    Excellent speakers. The sound is crisp and clean. Klipsch is the way to go if you want a really nice set of bookshelf. Best buy have a great price for the whole klipsch line.

    I purchased this speaker because i blew out my Energy center channel. Since Energy is owned by Klipsch, this was the logical choice and I couldn't be happier. Sounds great and looks great!

    Nice Upgrade

    Our viewing area is about 14ft *14ft. After upgrading our television to a samsung65inch mu8000, I am gradually upgrading my yamaha speakers to Klipsch. The R-25c sounds great for what a center channel does. My front mains are the R-15m and have the R-10SW subwoofer. Soon hopefully the R-14m's will be my surrounds.I think staying with the same manufacturer and series is logical. I am very happy with my upgrades. Fortunately, you can make the purchase and compare to what you have. If not happy, you can return it. You can read all the reviews you want, but not know what a product is being compared to. Everyone has different listening desires.

    Speaker has a nice clear sound and I notice I don't have to turn up the volume to hear dialog like I did with my old speaker. Overall I like the sound it produces and it looks nice also.

    Last week, I purchased a pair of the R-28s to replace a pair of Bose 301s I as using as the front speakers for my family room cinema set-up. I just bought this R-25C to replace my Bose center speaker and what a huge difference in terms of depth and clarity! As other reviewers mentioned in their own experiences, I am now hearing voices and sounds I never heard before. I also took a loo at the much cheaper Polk center speaker offering available on display at my local Best Buy but the Klipsch seemed much more substantial in construction. Yes, it cost more than twice but I am glad I made the investment!
