    This center speaker is a great size for my small to medium size room. It sounds amazing and is the workhorse of my system. Voices are natural sounding and the speaker fits great in the cabinet below my big screen. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Klipsch are great products for the money, you won't be disappointed.

    Incredible center channel speaker

    I replaced an older Sony center channel speaker after upgrading my home theater system from a 5.1 to 7.2. Then I decided to go with the Klipsch R - 25c. Wow !!! what a big difference did it make on movies on Blu ray and DVD on how crisp and clear the audio is. Voices are stronger and more vibrant. Makes an excellent addition to a home theater setup.

    If you are hesitating to buy this, DON'T. GO out and buy it. I have this along with 2 of the bookshelf Klipsch Speakers with the 5.25" drivers. All I can say is wow. Movies are amazing and more fun to watch now!

    I placed an old center channel speaker (different brand) that was of lower quality with this one. Wow, very impressive. I am quite pleased.

    Went into store to look at this unit before purchase, found on sale. Sounded amazing, just what I needed for my home system. Looks as good as it sounds. Now thinking about the Klipsch sub.

    Klipsch Center...

    Heavy, well built and efficient. Excellent center for medium sized set-ups and very receiver friendly. Good bass response from the 2 drivers too. Crispy highs and well balanced. I use this with a pair of L/R Reference Infinity bookshelfs and they match very well together.

    The klipsch reference center tied off my 5.1 setup and man was it head and shoulders above what it replaced. Ive owned this for years now and continue to be impressed by it. Would recommend klipsch everytime.

    I needed a replacement for my existing center channel and I'm glad I picked this model. Good, clear sound. After a little tweaking with me receiver settings, I couldn't be happier with this choice. I haven't listened to a soundtrack yet that the center channel has not performed well with yet.

    Matched this center speaker with a set of 5" bookshelf speakers and 10" Sub (all Klipsch) and all I can say is WOW... Great highs, mids and lows. Don't hesitate on this one.

    Get the Klipsch RP250C

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I mistakenly bought the R25C, thinking it was the RP250C. Totally my fault. I ordered it on the Best Buy online store, not realizing it was a different model. The R25C is a very stripped down version of the RP250C. Way overpriced at $250. The RP250C is far nicer, for only $50 more. Look closely at the specs, and pics for both models. Aluminum vs. Titanium tweeters. New vs. old tractix horn design. Rear horn port vs. no port. Eight ugly speaker grill holes vs. magnetic closures. Much nicer speaker grill vs. plain crummy grill. Much nicer finish, with choice of black or Cherrywood laminate. Best Buy does not carry the RP250C in their stores. But can be ordered from their online store via third party suppliers. Don't make the same mistake I did. I'm returning the R25C and ordering the RP250C. best regards, lm
