Klipsch RP-450C Center Channel Speaker - Ebony

Generally it looks like a quality build. However, Im sending this back as the horn distorts reproducing a womans voice or piano notes. It does so at all volume levels. I bought a replacement from Crutchfield and its doing the same thing. It seems to be nominally related to the source material. With high quality CDs such as those from Sheffield or Concord Jazz, the buzz/rasp/crackle is far less. Nevertheless is is there. Its absent in the horn tweeters on the main Klipsch speakers and the height speakers of my 7.2 Denon driven system. Im a little disappointed and will be calling Klipsch.

as with all my klipsch speakers this thing rocks..it sets the front stage up nicely....my Denon can push this thing to levels i cant even take anymore! Movie DIalogue has increased perfectly..just cant say enough about this center channel speaker!

Best Center channel I​ have ever heard!

This thing is a beast! Now I can hear the movies I watch instead of trying to adjust the center speaker volume. I laughed when I seen the size of this thing, it is huge. I stood it up on its end, its 8 inches shorter than my tower speakers. Your going to want to make sure you have room. I love the how crisp and clear the sound is. Never knew how much I was missing before. Im sold on Klipsch!

Absolutely fantastic. Some of the most crisp sound I have ever heard coming from a center channel. Klipsch promises big and definitely deliver with this speaker. Not going to lie, it a monster, but boy is it worth it.

all good indeed

A wonderful custom alternative designed for surround theater systems that separates sound better than all-in-one solutions.

I’ve had soooo many center channels in my lifetime. RC-62 II was my favorite, I thought this RP-450C would be better but I was wrong! The RC-62II still my favorite

Absolutely amazing speaker Im running this with Denon x4500 with rf820s and the sound is incredible. Dont buy into the new line of klipsch speakers they are exactly the same. If you dont have a subwoofer you can run it as large but I wouldnt advise it set all your speakers to small and let your subs do the low frequencies. Set the crossover to Center and floor speakers to 90hertz and then set all your other speakers to a hundred hertz 120 max this will leave way more wattage for your speakers and you will be in heaven. LFE 120 for subwoofer. Put it in the cart you wont regret it.

I was actually looking at a lower model of Klipsch center when I saw this one priced lower due to being a refurb. I feel so fortunate to have caught this deal. the sound is amazing, the voices coming from the center channel are incredibly clear and easy to understand. I have used regular stereo speakers as a center before and the voices were always boomy. Not the case with this speaker. I would recommend this Klipsch center to anyone who is building a home theater system.
