Klipsch R52C 100-Watt Centre Channel Speaker - Black

I bought this center channel speaker for my system after trying to use my old Energy center channel speaker and finding out it was simply too small for the room. The Energy was great for the old house but the new house has a bonus room that is 2+ time the size of the old one. I got tired of constantly fooling with the volume on the receiver to make the old Energy speaker work. Now I set it and forget it. I have the speaker paired with some Mica (don't knock it until you try it) in wall speakers. Since 60% of the sound of the system is from the center channel it makes sense to spend the money on the center channel speaker. I had to adjust the equalizer level by -2 dB for the Klipsch center channel speaker since the sensitivity and efficiency is so good. I adjusted the crossover to the subwoofer to 100 Hz so there is plenty of bottom end without being boomy. I'd buy it again in a heart beat. The system has never sounded better. This is my first Klispch. I can see why they carry the reputation they do. PS. The pics show the speaker under an 82" TV. Yes it is a big speaker.

I love Klipsch speakers and this center channel speaker doesn't disappoint! I upgraded my system in late 2019 to the Klipsch Reference Series R620F towers and about a month later, bought the R-52-C center. I was simply amazed by the R620F speakers and the R-52-C just added to my amazement. The R-52-C has amazing clarity, great range and great volume. The center channel is one of the most used speaker in any 5.1 or higher system! Main dialogue comes out nice and clear and I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a high quality center channel speaker. I also recommend checking out the other Reference Series speakers as well!

The sounds are so clear and amazing, this center speaker is worth every penny. I no longer have to increase the volume when talking and then turn it down with an action scene occurs. I now want to replace the other surround sound speakers with Klipsch and the Sub eventually to complete the 5.1 from Polk Audio to Klipsch!

I used center channel for watching blurays and its dialog is very good when paired with 12yr old Harman receiver. But pairing it wit 2yr old Denon 4k receiver didn't match well. This one replaces my Sony CS center as it is a notch better since it puts out more audio output at the same volume level on my Harman. For twice the price at $200 last sale, Its a keeper since my bonus room needed this power. But that Sony one is also very good, I moved it to my smaller room.

This center channel is such a really good purchase for the price. It provides clear audio for Home Theater dialogue. I have zero complaints for this speaker at all. It pairs almost perfectly with the other Reference speakers. Obviously with this you need a subwoofer set up as it does not provide enough bass for full range sound. Don't expect booming sound for an audiophile home theater experience and it won't disappoint.
