Sounds incredible!! Terrific quality!!

[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.

Terrific center channel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely enjoy this center channel. It was very easy to set up and connect. The build and sound quality are phenomenal! The sound is very rich, precise and clear. I love using it to watch movies and music videos because the voices are super crisp and clear. It makes me feel like I am in my own movie theater. Overall, I feel that this center channel speaker is very well made and performs well. I highly recommend it!
