Klipsch RP-500C Center Channel Speaker (Ebony), 1065819

This was purchased to replace a Klipsch R-80. I was never satisfied with the 25C center. The sound was tinny and muddy, with voices that were neither clear nor "mellow. " It was the weak link in my Klipsch 5, and I probably got what I paid for (not a lot). 1 system. I also had to work within the confines of a built-in cabinet, so a wider 5-foot table was the only option. It wouldn't be possible to put a speaker center there. br>br>This is the RP- I bought. I bought the 500C as soon as it was released, and I'm very happy with it. It's a significant improvement in terms of clarity and presence, and it goes well with my RP fronts. Closed captioning is no longer required, and previously unseen details can now be heard in the center. The voices, in particular, are natural and clear. My system is now balanced (all RP) and sounds exactly as I had hoped. Don't skimp out on the center speaker!.

I've had three different surround speaker lines, two subwoofers, and Pro Media computer speakers in that time. I've heard a lot of different speakers, but the Klipsch sound is by far my favorite. I recently upgraded from the Icon line (predecessor to the Refrence line) to the Refrence Premier line, and I replaced my front channels (KB-1) last year. 15) in conjunction with the R-P-P-P-P-P-P-P They're 160m and they're incredible. It was a significant enhancement. The only drawback is that they made my KC-related information public. It's a midrange speaker with a 25 center channel. It's not bad, but it couldn't compete with my new RP speakers. In comparison, the center became dim and subdued. The center should be leading, but it was being overshadowed on both sides, necessitating the need for a stronger center. I knew I wanted to stay with Klipsch as I started looking for a new center. It was only a matter of deciding which one. Due to a lack of space and a low price, the decision was made to go with the RP-. 500 as well as RP- 600 I chose the 500 because it was over $100 cheaper and had a good reputation. br>I wasted no time connecting the speaker (which I purchased from 3rd party seller IQ Home Entertainment) and trying out a variety of movies and music after receiving it. The difference between this speaker and my previous one was immediately apparent; it was as if someone had previously stood in front of the speaker and had now moved out of the way. The voices have become much louder and clearer. The voices now have a lot more depth and breath to them. Low, solemn voices have become much deeper and thicker than before. This is undoubtedly due to the RP-'s much wider frequency range. 500c. It has a much wider range of frequencies than my previous speaker, and it can go much lower and higher. If it had only been a minor difference, I would have been disappointed, but the price I paid has proven to be well worth it. Everything seems so good right now that I can't imagine wanting or needing anything else. I was also relieved to discover that the build quality was comparable to that of my new bookshelf speakers. The copper woofers are the same color, have the same smooth feel, and are very attractive. The only difference is that the woofer and tweeter are surrounded by extra copper rings. The Reference Premier line is a significant improvement over the Icons I've been replacing. The additional cost is clearly visible and audible. It has a very high-end appearance and feel to it. br>When I think of Klipsch, I think of clear, clean audio that makes you smile and feel good while listening to music or watching movies. Being able to hear things the way they were meant to be heard. High-end quality at an affordable price, with the most important feature being the ability to have fun. You'll want to listen to it all over again, taking in every detail. That's exactly what I want and expect from high-end speakers, and Klipsch has never let me down. This book comes highly recommended.

If you can't fit the 504c/600c in your home theater or don't have the budget, or simply prefer the sound of the 5" driver, this will do an excellent job. The single most important speaker for movies and television is the center channel. It can handle almost all dialogue as well as a variety of spatial effects. Simply because of this, you must ensure that this is your most thoroughly researched speaker. Because of its size, I went with the 500c, which cost half as much as the 600c and a third as much as the 504c. I demoed them all at a local store, and the price differences didn't justify the price differences. If the 504c receives a perfect score of ten out of ten. The 600c is a nine-digit number. The 500c is a 9 on a scale of 1 to 5. There's no need with my 8000fs at work. The value king is 500 cents.

It. Now. I, like a lot of other people, purchased the RP- To replace an R-, heat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. I purchased the 25C because it was the "right" center speaker for my R-series. Mains are 625FA, but the R- is a little different. The temperature of 25 degrees Celsius is a sham. There was no way to make it sound anything other than boxy, muddled, and harsh, no matter how much I tweaked it. Klipsch should be embarrassed, to say the least. br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>The The 500C, on the other hand, is well worth the money. It's clean, powerful, and crisp. It does a fantastic job with dialogue, music, and sound effects. br>br>Audiophiles will tell you that the RP- is one of the best. True, the 500C does not have the same timbre as my mains. Is it tempting for me to upgrade my mains as a result of this? Yes. However, because I almost exclusively watch movies on my system, I'd much rather have my center outshine my mains than the other way around. br>br>So, if you're on the fence about whether or not to go with the R-, here's what you should know. 25C (or the newer R-) is a temperature that is comfortable for most people. 52C) if you want to save some cash, don't. It'll be a mistake you'll come to regret. Obtain the RP- 500C. You're not going to be let down. Buy it. br>br> It. Now.

The high frequencies are a little "bright. " However, by using a power amplifier, I was able to reduce the frequency response. It's far superior to what I was previously using! I attempted to contact Klipsch to learn what the minimum distance from a wall for the rear-facing speakers is. I only received a delaying message that they would contact me later when I was facing the port. It's been more than a week since I last saw you. It's a pity, because they make some excellent products. Customer service is a serious problem.

This is an excellent front-facing speaker. It's been paired with Synergy Series F30 fronts and Synergy S-Series backs. A total of ten rears are included, as well as an R-. 115 watts with a Klipsch 12" subwoofer. I had a synergy C- that I needed to get rid of. That was before I added the new 15 to the home theater, when I was constantly adjusting the center channel to hear dialogue. That is no longer the case! I can turn up the volume to the point where the subs are pounding bass and still hear everything. I'm confident that the RP- will be successful. The 540 is a fantastic speaker, but I couldn't fit it in my room because I had an 85-inch TV on a tv stand crammed with consoles and a big receiver. br>br>I honestly can't tell the difference in timbre between my synergy fronts and the center for all the audiophiles out there. I can tell a significant difference between this center and my previous synergy center. I intend to upgrade everything to the RP series in the future, but none of our local stores have the RP-series available. I'd like to hear the difference between the 280 and the new 8000 in stock before I go out and spend another 2 or 3 grand. br>br>Only because Klipsch makes beautiful sounding, ugly speakers did I give 4 stars for "material quality. ".
