    I bought this to finish my system- two Bose bookshelf speakers from the nineties, a Klipsch subwoofer and Sony AVR. Couldn't figure out why the music would boom but you couldn't hear the dialogue-after a little research I decided on this center speaker and it has made all the difference. very happy with this.

    Top Shelf Speaker Performs

    If you want a high end center channel speaker, this Klipsch delivers! Crystal dear highs, full, well rounded mids, and decent lows. It is a little costly but you pay for what you get. I love this speaker! Sounds phenomenal with the rest of my Klipsch surround setup on my Denon AL-24 home theater receiver.

    Important piece of the puzzle

    I got the BIG left and right speakers. I wasn't sure if I'd need the center channel, but it's obvious I did when I plugged it in. It's the difference in not just feeling the bass, but also hearing clearly the words behind the bass from the booms, bangs, and roars of your favorite action movie.

    I bought this center channel speaker to complement by Klipsch R-28F's and Klipsch sub. Its an extremely great speaker. I have it paired up with an older Onkyo amp and it sounds excellent! Voices sound so clear and distinct. They are perfectly matched with the other Klipsch speakers. Great buy!

    I picked up this center speaker when I replace my home audio system and it is a night and day difference compared to the Boston accoustic center speaker I had before. It's nice and loud and crystal clear. Performs very well. Definetly recommend, along with the rest of the Klipsch reference line.

    This was the last speaker in our surround system (we purchased all of the other Klipsch speakers that go with this particular one.) We can tell a noticeable difference, especially when watching movies. Voices are clearer and gives an overall better experience!

    Always try to support local business, but was a die-hard Sony fan - until I made this purchase. Klipsch sound quality and projection is outstanding! So much so, I just bought tw Klipsch tower speakers to further complete my 7 point surround sound. Can't wait to hear the whole system!

    Upgraded from Bose

    I upgraded to this center channel from a Bose VCS-10, which to some audio enthusiasts may merit an entire discussion on its own. I have a soft spot for Bose, even if some of the audio quality is... lacking. I had the Bose for about 11 years, however, I now wish I had gone to Klipsch sooner. I will admit, the level of detail the R-25C is giving will take a little getting used to, (I can hear EVERYTHING in a scene now) I can safely say it blows the VCS-10 out of the water. I recently threw in the Blu-Ray of Dunkirk and pushed my surround system as high as necessary, and the R-25C did not falter on the more intense dialog scenes. I originally had my heart set on the R-250, but could not justify the much higher expense. But for my setup, where I am sitting about 15 feet away from the speaker, the R-25C is a perfect for handling the center channel duties.

    When all the reviews are a 5, believe it. This center speaker is clear and goes well with the rest of the speaker set. The copper look is very stylish or put the cover on. Worth the money, spent months researching, before making the plunge.

    I have two Klipsh floor speakers, which are great but I had a hard time hearing movie dialog. The center channel works great at boosting the dialogue and mids. The sound is tight, and well balanced.

    This speaker works excellent with my pioneer receiver and gives very clear vocal sounds when watching tv/movies. It compliments the Klipsch subwoofer very well.

    Last piece I needed for the 5.1 experience. What a difference, I can't believe how much better a movie sounds with the center channel. Perfect match with the Klipsch towers. Highly recommended!

    What a wonderful speaker. I'm using this in my home theater with matching Klipsch Left and Rights and a Sony STR DN850 Receiver and it kicks some serious butt. Vocals and dialog that seemed so muffled on my old yamahas are now crisp and clean.
