Amazing center channel!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I want to start by saying that I did not expect this center channel speaker to be so crisp with mids and some lower-end range. Everything sounded so natural and helped immerse me into the videos I tested it with. The usual sounds that I hear but never heard so good were sand blown by the wind, hands clapping, glass breaking, footsteps on dirt/wooden floor/grass/sidewalks, and I could go on but you'd have to hear for yourself. The setup was easy to do with a simple speaker wire to the receiver and about 8 inches off the rear wall for a reverb of the rear-firing port. If you want to know the specifics you can look them up on the website for Klipsch of what everything is made of. I do really like the speaker cover being held by magnets instead of clicking in pins making it easy to show off or cover-up. I did go through some music to see how it handles there with drum solos, rock, hip hop, electronic dance, and blues. It played excellently coming across with crisp percussive sounds, cymbals, guitar riffs, and synthetic tones. The dispersion of this speaker is great as I could stand off to the side and still hear just as well as being in front of it only with a slight fall off of the treble but nothing too major as I was direct to the side of it. This has been the greatest addition to my setup that I feel helped fill a void and a much-needed boost in my sound system. My room sounds like I live in a movie theater and I can't wipe the smile off my face when sitting down and enjoying it all.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Klipsch RP-500 center channel speaker is very impressive!! I have never owned anything like it! The sound quality is incredible!! When I say this speaker rocks, it definitely rocks! Even when turned all the way up, it stays clear as can be! It was very easy hooking up, only took a few minutes. I hooked it up to our radio for now until we get a surround sound. In order to hook this up to the TV, you will need a surround sound system. Next, the quality of the box is outstanding! It has some weight to it, definitely very heavy duty! There are two pieces on the bottom to prevent it from falling or sliding off of anything. The front of the speaker box has a magnetic covering that can be taken on and off.
The entire design is really incredible! I will definitely be purchasing the entire set! If you're looking into this one, I'd highly recommend!!

Great, solid center channel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Klipsch RP-500C II, as a center channel speaker, is an important and central part of my home theater setup. With this center channel speaker isolated, I could hear dialogue and vocals loud and clearly from the center tweeter. The two woofers on the left and right of the tweeter also provide loud and clear sound. Together, I feel it has a very solid, full, and rich sound.
Upon opening the box, I was relieved to see how well packed the speaker is. It has foam pieces that suspend the speaker in the middle of the box with plenty of space to avoid damaging the speaker cones. I do wish there was some type of handle or something to make it easier to pick up and move around, but it’s not important, since it’s not done often.
The short manual said it’s 8-ohms and I had no problem with my A/V receiver. It has high quality connections in the back and was easy to wire up, just two wires.
I was also glad to see the speaker grill is attached magnetically. Older speakers have the snap on type that can sometimes get damaged. This was easy to attach and attached right on, and aligned perfectly on its own.
I tried both music and movies with action and dialogue. All of them were full, rich sounding, and stayed clear at high volumes. I’m glad to have such a high quality center channel speaker from Klipsch in my setup.
