*My day system is a Marantz 7705 flagship Pre-amp, paired with the Marantz 7055, 5 channel surround amp using MIT interconnects. I use just 3 channels for my day system, two Kilpsch Heresy's for main L&R and this Klipsch R-52C center channel. Speakers are wired using 256 strand, pure OFC 10 ga wire with gold plated banana plug terminations. The subwoofer in the day system is the McIntosh MT-2, dual 12" giant 100 pound passive sub, 4 Ohm, hooked to a 300W plate amp made for subs only, and made for 4 Ohm speakers/subs.
First thing one notices is this little center channel speaker is HEAVY, and clearly well constructed! For those familiar with specs, this speaker is efficient and easy for an amp to run. All Klipsch products can get loud yet remain clear - though this is far from my top priority. But, presenting an easy load to your amp to run is a win win. The Heresy's also present a very manageable load to an amp, so all 3 hooked to my day system is not a rough load to handle as most 4 Ohm speakers WILL be. Always try to match speakers impedance hooked to one surround amp. Other words, keep all of them 8 Ohm or 6 Ohm - even if different brands. FEW amps will run 4 Ohm speakers well, (cheap amps might even struggle with 6 Ohm speakers at volume) or long, so be careful when buying speakers.
This center channel provided exactly what I'd hoped as it does a good job with human voice articulation and clarity. If you feed it a quality signal, you get a quality result. I do have a spare Pioneer Elite disc player with excellent audio quality for CD's hooked to this system for casual listening while cleaning house, working on projects, and non-critical listening.
While this modest center channel is excellent for voices, movies, TV shows, non-critical sit down listening sessions - especially after fine tuning the signals reaching it via the VERY adjustable Marantz 7705 Pre, it's performance on audio while entirely listenable, fits into it's price range niche. For most if not all non-audiophiles this center channel would be a very nice addition to their system for years of enjoyment.
It does not however, have the depth, width, sound stage to hear fine details such as a performer taking a barely audible quiet breath while singing on a well recorded SACD as more expensive units might. Or present a virtual "being there" sense of space more expensive models might - and some do. That said, to step up to "being there" sound staging, depth, space, width and presence - you ARE going to HAVE to spend at least likely triple - or more .......... to attain that level of engineering and delicacy of sound that entails.
In summary, for 90% of the people reading this, for modest yet capable systems hooked to this Klipsch, you will have made an excellent purchase and enjoy it for many years. If you are younger and want LOUD rock shows, this speaker will do that, and survive to do it again, and again. Clean, precise, clear audio signals is not what generally harms a speakers components, dirty or distorted signals do.
For the NEW price of $149 (I just paid $179 a month ago), you honestly could not go wrong provided you don't think you are buying a $1,400 Dyneaudio center channel.
The center channel speaker is an essential part of a home theater system as it is responsible for delivering dialogue and other important audio cues. I was struggling with earing vocals in the past but with the Klipsch speaker, I am able to hear every word of dialogue clearly, even during action-packed scenes. Exactly what I was looking for!
The speaker also has a wide frequency response range, allowing it to reproduce both low and high frequencies accurately to my ears. This results in a truly immersive audio experience that makes me feel like I am part of the movie.
One of the standout features of the Klipsch center channel speaker is its horn-loaded tweeter, which produces a dynamic and detailed soundstage. The horn shape helps to direct the sound directly towards the listener, resulting in a more focused and accurate sound. This makes a huge difference in my movie watching experience, as I am able to pick out individual sounds and effects with ease.
In addition to its impressive sound quality, the Klipsch center channel speaker is also incredibly easy to set up and use so was able to get it up and running in no time. The speaker is also compatible with a wide range of home theater receivers (6ohms), making it a versatile and reliable addition to most home theater setup.
Please note that the speaker is bigger that I tought.
It could be advisable to purchase some “Speakers wall brackets” because there’s no holes in the back of the speakers.
The speaker comes very well packed too.
The construction have some heft and I see quality craftsmanship.
Overall, I am extremely impressed with the Klipsch home theater center channel speaker. Its high-quality sound and sleek design make it a great addition to my home theater system. I would highly recommend this speaker to anyone looking to enhance their home theater experience
