Customer Ratings & Reviews

For whatever reason the streaming services with Dolby Atmos just has issues with voice volume when there is monologue conversation. These speakers really helps bring those voices back. Great looking and is wall mountable. Highly recommend. I am running 9.2 Marantz.

Sometimes you have to read reviews and take a chance. Just like the other reviews, I’ m so impressed. You can hear every word so clear with this center piece that I’m shocked. It’s not big and bulky either. I didn’t want a center piece that would take up the whole wall. Lol . Buy it and you won’t be dissatisfied.

Have had these for 1 year and sound great. They were easy to install. I use them in a meeting room.

Awesome sound and replaced a center speaker half of the size. This should have been when I replaced the satellite speakers. They are bigger than the originals and costly but worth it. Speakers can run into the thousands of dollars but decent ones can be bought in the hundreds. Many folks are happy with a simple sound bar but for the theater experience good speakers on a great system work quite well.

My surround system was good but the center channel was my weak link until I upgraded to this Klipsch center channel. Before I was frustrated by sometimes missing the dialogue in movies. This upgrade has solved that problem. Despite the smaller drivers, this speaker has plenty of power and detailed sound. I like that it fits in the slot under my TV in my TV stand. A larger center channel speaker would not. Highly recommended.

My original setup was a Denon 7.1 receiver and Sonance in ceiling surround speakers. It sounded great, but with the center channel high in the ceiling, dialogue was sometimes lost in the mix and felt like it was falling short. I added in this center channel speaker and was amazed with how much of a difference it made. Pros: - Size: Short but wide, makes for a profile similar to a soundbar but with more presence. - Sound: Crisp and clear dialogue and some added punch in the mid range. - Price: Was able to get it on sale for $299 and I feel like that's the perfect price point for a dedicated center channel in an average home theater setup. Cons: - Made me want to completely overhaul my setup to all reference series speakers. If you're currently running an in ceiling setup but struggle with dialogue, this is an excellent purchase. If you're looking to build out a whole system, definitely consider the Klipsch Reference series.

Great midsize center, I’ve had definitive, paradigm and now klipsch centers, this is my favorite, klipsch is well known for crisp highs and this horn loaded center has plenty, I have Yamaha 870 Adventage powering and it keeps up nicely with Klipasch 82ii mains, 12” klipsch subs, and has a footprint small enough to wall hang or sit. Don’t think you will be disappointed

I found this speaker open box and it has not dispappointed. I upgraded from the Sony center channel speaker and it has provided a noticeable improvement in clarity and quality of voice. I would recommend this even at full price.

The most clear sound output I've ever experienced. Almost have to keep it lower so the other speakers can catch up. My first Klipsch speaker and will not be my last. I recommend highly.

I bought this open box - excellent so I was able to save a little money vs. new. First off, it looks cool (and I have matching bookshelf speakers) - you might as well leave the covers off as long as you don't have toddlers with sticky fingers running the joint. Secondly, it pumps out a lot of sound. My receiver's auto-calibration wants to lower the decibels on this center speaker while increasing the output to my other speakers, but I turned this one back up some. It sounds great, voices are loud and clear. I would purchase again for sure. I probably didn't need a center this big/powerful, and could have saved some money going with something else, but where is the fun in that?! Sorry wifey!

They say great surround starts with center and your left and right channels. I purchased this and the 820f towers and 12 inch sub. You will not be disappointed by this setup at all. My surround sound has became so great and exciting to listen too I found myself addicted! My whole family and especially my daughter loves listening to music as well on these. It really sounds like your front stage! Clarity is flawless and bass is room filling. I can hear ever bit of dialogue with this center. Never asking or missing what some character said. Klipsch fan for live now!! Hard to listen to any other speaker even in the car.

Love this thing. It's sleek and sexy, and I can hear conversations crystal-clear. However, I dislike the mounting options on its backside. For some reason, Klipsch decided to place the brackets right in the middle where the center of gravity pulls the speaker forward from a wall. And, the placement makes it a real pain in the keister to wall mount...at least it was for us. We decided to go with this mount from WALI on Amazon and it has worked perfectly mounted into the studs. Look up: "WALI Center Channel Speaker Wall Mount Dual Bracket Holder Stands, Hold up to 30 lbs, Arms Extend Adjustment from 7 to 11.5 inch (SLK201), Black" Happy listening!

The R-34C provides excellent sound. We always had troubles with dialog from videos, music and regular tv but no more. Dialog now is crisp and crystal clear and this quad has plenty of power to compliment any surround sound system but just sounds amazing matched with other Klipsch speakers. This center channel replaces a older bigger Paradigm and sounds so much better. The R-34C paired with the Klipsch R-820F front floor standing speakers, R-120SW sub and RP-6000F for the rear surrounds just sounds amazing but it will shine in any system though.

This center channel speaker is superb. It has great clarity and has the bass to match. Please adjust your center volume wisely because this speaker is loud.

Really happy with this center channel. Very crisp sound quality. Heard things I never heard before with this speaker. Definitely would recommend!

Works great for us. We already had the other pieces of a surround system and this improved overall system.

Great sounding speaker, from a Klipsch fan. Also purchased Klipsch R820F speakers and R-100 sub woofer. Paired with Onkyo TX-NR6100

First off, give it a few days of constant use as this speaker needs to break in. Right out of the gate the sound was clear, crisp, and wonderful! I replaced an undersized Bose center channel (junk as it turns out) with this masterpiece! I have it hooked up to an older Yamaha vx 675 in conjunction with multiple other Klipsch Reference series speakers. Let me just say HECK YES! This speaker doesn't take up all that much space, has incredibly immersive sound, and when you find it on sale... FAR exceeds the expectations at its price point! I held off on buying this for way too long. Don't make the same mistake I did and you won't be disappointed!

This was the most expensive speaker I had bought to date, and it was intended to replace a 8 year old Sony center channel. The difference was night and day vs the old speaker and I was super happy with my purchase... until the R820F floor speaker towers went on sale and I went nuts building a whole new home theater. Klipsch recommends this combo, but I think when you mix a massive dual 8" tower speaker next to a relatively small 3.5" driver you are in for a disappointing time. When the action on screen is at a lull you can hear dialog pretty well, but as soon as anything happens on L&R channels it starts getting hard to hear the center channel, even with the levels cranked up +6dB. When the much larger RP504C goes on sale, I will upgrade to that and put this center speaker back where I meant to put it (and replace my old Sony center). If you have a smaller room, or need a slim speaker this is a great choice. Look elsewhere if you have large, or highly efficient L&R speakers next to it.

I had a Klipsch center speaker before from a 5.1 set. it was a good speaker but this speaker is better. not by leaps and bounds but better. the highs are crisper and the lows are deeper. spoken words sound better more defined and standout better. its not the best speaker they make but it is good if you don't want to spend a crazy amount of money. I bet unless you spend over $800 on Klipsch speakers you probably won't get much better than these a little better but not a huge difference.
