Finally added the center channel to a (now) 7.1 speaker system and the upgrade to dialog is really noticeable. Yeah, should have done it sooner

I recently pulled the trigger on this during a sale to make an addition to my surround which is a hodgepodge of equipment I have had given to me or found online used. My old center channel speaker was mushy sounding and very noticeable after I had upgraded to some nicer floor standing speakers.
This is the only Klipsch/horn speaker in my setup but what it brings to the table for vocals and sound stage is amazing for what I am working with. I have heard people say that horns are harsh, but this leaves me thinking that I need to hear a full set of horns for myself. Much like taste, it differs person to person.
The highs and mids that this brings to the table enhances live performances to me which is what I enjoy the most. Great for movies and it adds a new layer. I recently had some people over for a gathering and noticed some walking up and checking it.
It is larger than I expected but I really did not pay attention to the dimensions when ordering. It blocks the lower part of the tv but to be honest, I rather have better audio than viewing the lower part of the TV. Most movies are Letterbox, so it does not really matter to me. I’m sure I can get a riser or something to fix it.
One day I would love to hear the Cornwalls but due to where I live, I doubt I’ll be able to. Hifi audio stores are few and far between in Kentucky. So feel free to send me some free Klipsch. :)

I bought the center channel to replace a polk center I was using. The polk was good and there was nothing wrong with it whatsoever, but the Klipsch blows it out of the water. When I watch movies my dialogue is much more clear now. It's a dramatic and very noticable improvement. This is a great center channel at a great price and I would highly recommend it.
