Questions & Answers

What is the rationale for having so many woofers in a single speaker? What are the advantages of having four identical mid-career professionals? Do you have a center speaker with a range of woofers?

This is a three-part series. The sound is split into three frequency ranges using a three-way speaker. To handle the mids, the closest driver to the center on the left is paired with the outside driver on the right, and the other two drivers are paired to handle the lower frequencies. If you're using larger main speakers (such as the Klipsch RP-100), You'll need a center channel speaker that can keep up with those big mains, whether you're using the 280F or FAs. This is the person who is speaking. If your main speakers are smaller, such as bookshelf speakers, you won't need this center channel speaker. Unless you turn down the volume on your center channel speakers, it will overpower them.

Is it new or open box when it comes to shipping?

They will, in fact. when you bought a box that was already opened The item(s) will be sealed for delivery by the seller.

Would these work as L/R speakers if they were mounted vertically?

Yes, these speakers can be installed vertically or horizontally.

I've got an Onkyo TX-RX-RX-RX-RX-RX-RX-RX Klipsch senergy3 front speakers and a sr 805 receiver Is the 450c a good fit?

Yes, it should; it's a powerful center speaker, and you may need to adjust the volume through the AV receiver's controls.

Love it! Marriage necessitates compromise, which for a man means ensuring that his wife is content
5/5

For a long time, I had my heart set on this speaker, as well as a subwoofer and 280 tower speakers; I had a great sound system before I got married, but we couldn't afford to upgrade for years because we were focused on other priorities. After much lobbying, I purchased the 280 towers last year, and I can honestly say that our music sounds so pure through these that I wasn't sure our eclectic musical tastes could sound any better. Before I bought the 280 tower speakers, I read a review that said you don't get "listening fatigue," and I had no idea what they meant until I heard my music through them. I didn't realize what I had been missing until we installed the 450 center speaker. The lyrics are crystal clear now, and the midranges are, well, it's like a baby who was born deaf and had a cochlear implant and heard things for the first time; I don't know how else to explain it; it simply makes me happy. I rarely write reviews, but when a company does something so well, it deserves to be recognized. Some authors write in such a way that you don't even realize they're there. This is what Klipsch has accomplished in the realm of sound!.

Huge
5/5

It's also a piece that makes a bold statement. The cherry finish is attractive, and despite the fact that the other speakers are black, it works well as an accent piece. br>The drawbacks.
1. For balance, there should be two tweeters. At all volume levels, the single tweeter sings. Even if the woofers are barely audible. A bi amp, on the other hand, allows for individual adjustments.
2. It's big. Also, make sure you have a place set aside for it. br>br>The positive.
1. It was very clear and loud. With the addition of a subwoofer, the system could be considered complete. And you'd be missing out on absolutely nothing.
2. It's well-made and attractive. Its cost ($350 on sale) can be determined simply by looking at it.
3. In between periods, there is a short break. She was fine after 3 hours of playing loud music. Whenever it is necessary.
4. Using a Denon 3600, I had to run it at a lower volume dB than the front and surrounds 28fsbr>5. Looks 5. size 4. sound 5.

At this price point, this is most likely the best center channel
5/5

If you're lucky enough to have enough room. This device SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVES YOUR OBJECTIVE A 3- With a clear, loud sound, this is a two-way speaker. It is, however, quite large. I didn't pay attention to the measurements, and when it arrived, I was surprised by its size. It takes up the majority of the top surface of my TV stand, which isn't a problem because my TV is mounted on the wall above it, but double-check dimensions before ordering.

It adds a nice finishing touch to the rest of my Klipsch system
5/5

I needed to replace my center channel with something that could handle my new receiver's power. That's exactly what this 450 did. It looks great, sounds great, and fits perfectly in my cabinet. And, once I set my crossovers to the proper frequency, it produces new sounds that I didn't hear with my previous center channel. At a great price, this Authorized Dealer offers Klipsch quality and performance. This isn't even a "B" stock. This purchase has made me very happy. A++.

The sound quality is excellent
5/5

The speaker makes a fantastic sound. It was bigger than I anticipated, and it only just fit in the spot I had planned. I was able to find a new home for it and am now completely satisfied. The speaker is large and heavy, especially in terms of depth. I ended up purchasing mounting brackets for the speaker to ensure that it did not fall off the wall. This is in addition to a hook-and-loop fastener. I live in earthquake country, so I need a mounting bracket that prevents the speaker from sliding off the underside brackets. A seven-foot drop to the ground would be disastrous!.

Warning! There is a risk of heart attack
5/5

The best thing I can say about this speaker is that I came charging into the living room shortly after installing it to my system, thinking I heard yelling. Two other dogs were of the same mind. When I arrived in the living room, my heart was pounding, but my wife was completely unimpressed, wondering what all the fuss was about over an old episode of Law and Order. I'd like to say we've all gotten used to it (me and the dogs), but I have to admit it still fools us on occasion. Even my wife admits the dialog is impressive, and the center channel handles all other sound equally well. I can't imagine a better center speaker!.

It's a big step up from the RC-style model
5/5

I'd always wanted this, and I'm glad I finally got it. br>At first, I was disappointed because it sounded eerily similar to the previous RC- 62, but it took a week or so for it to sink in. RF7 and RF5 now better match the rest of the system. br>Very smooth, with a lot of details that don't draw attention to themselves. br>Whereas the previous one sounded a little dead, this one sounds more alive and smooth. br>I have no regrets.

Amazing! I got this speaker today, unplugged a Polk S35 center, found a spot for it (it's huge), watched a couple of movies and listened to some music, and it's a game changer for my home theater system
5/5

All voices are crystal clear and crisp, and I even heard actors breathing in some situations, which I couldn't hear with the polk or the infinity center channels before that. My fiancee returned home and immediately noticed a significant difference, so she began preparing the return paperwork for the polk that evening. It may appear expensive at 349 dollars, but it is nearly half the price (from 649) and represents an investment in your home entertainment system that will pay off for many years due to its high quality. I strongly advise you to purchase this as soon as possible; unlike the Polk, you will not experience buyer's remorse.
