Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought to replace a Klipsch R-52C. To be completely honest, it was comparable at best. Ended up having to return it. Is it a bad product? No. But definitely not an upgrade from what I was hoping it would be.

Sounds a little boxy, but a huge improvement over my old speaker. Dialog is very clear.

The items we purchased was what we were looking for

looking for a center speaker found Klipsch 34 good price good sound

I really haven’t figured out the benefit of a high end speaker.

ive installed in my basement and it works just as fine

in any home theater, probably the single most important component is the center channel. it’s where the vast majority of the dialogue comes from, and it’s what keeps things anchored to the screen. crisp, clear, full of body…all important features for a center channel to have. this new reference II from Klipsch fits that bill quite nicely and then some. the good: -sound quality - this center channel really shines doing exactly what it was designed for, onscreen dialogue. amazing highs and wonderfully full bodied, i really get the sense of cinema quality immersion with it. -wide imaging - perfect for a home theater, dialogue feels as if it’s popping off the screen. -matches sound quality and timbre perfectly with the reference II floors. -understated design, as with all of the new reference II series. the bad: -absolutely nothing overall: wow! this replaced a really good polk center channel in my home theater. the polk was good, but as soon as i put this center channel in its place, what a difference. i paired this center with the matching reference II floor speakers, and i can honestly say that my home theater is approaching cinema quality sound. the value here for your money is outstanding. 5 stars easily.

Only bought this to complete my home theater system. Wasn’t impressed for the money. I own 4 of the klipsch 12 inch subs. There great. I have 4 tower speakers. 2 duel 6.5’s, and 2 duel 8’s. I bought every speaker at almost half off at different sales. Couldn’t ever find a sell on the center speaker but needed it to complete my look and sound. Not to mention it’s taller than I wanted so I had to move my 75 inch LG from the TV stand to the wall. I’m not a fan of the wall mounts. Just my personal preference is all!

Bought a 2K klipsch home theatre system and came with zero speaker wires. Not even a 16 awg. Shame on you klipsch.

It is ok but not enough to keep up with my bigger right and left speakers.

This just feels cheap compared the the RC-62 II I compared it against. The RC62 II was also $168 shipped on sale.

Purchased this only returned because found bigger center for cheaper price. No complaints

I think this unit little expensive but not power enother for my system..

These sound pretty good but the tweeters are a bit harsh.

Was kind of a let down, reminded me of a soundbar speaker, ended up returning this and picking up an RP504C center, it was more than worth the extra price. The only way I could reccomend this speaker is if you can fin it for sub $250

Got this model due to space restrictions. Okay for watching movies, but when I played music (at a bit high volume), the woofer started to make weird surround. It just could not handle the sound. I reduced the volume down the weird sound went away. But what's point of spending $400 bucks when it can't handle bass from music. I am Klipsch fan and have four sets of floor standing speaker along with with other surround speakers, but this is the first one to give me a problem. I wish I had gotten the premier version which was just slightly more, but I wanted a compact speaker due to space constraints hence chose this one reluctantly, Now I really regret it.

We had s great system but didn’t need a new one. Ugh.

Sounds muffled and boxy. Really boxy. Does not blend well with the rest of the Reference Series Speakers. Purchased the Klipsch R-52C for $200 and absolutely LOVE the sound of this one and it blends with my 4 R51M Klipsch speakers perfectly.

3 years later this speaker still sounds like it did day one bass is amazing and voice in movies is also just as amazing. I recommend this speaker to anyone that wants amazing sound that lasts for years.

Speaker does not provide clear and defined verbal center sound. At times the sound can distort. Other review are good so this may be just one bad apple.
