KlipschRP-450C Center Channel Speaker - Ebony

I upgraded from a 404c which I gave to my aunt and uncle for their home theater and just wow oh wow the sound is very impressive… no more what did they say!!! It’s a beast in size and sound!! I had to Jerry rig a desk to hold it till I can find a good stand I like….. I ended up purchasing two of these bad boys one for living room and one for bedroom. Movies are theater quality again… I have a Pioneer Elite lx 305 driving it…. And great price as of now they only have 3 left so 300 bucks you can not beat the quality….. I have one small quarrel but it doesn’t effect performance… the cabinet on both speakers chipped rather easier thank any other I’ve had before but it was underneath so not a big deal just must be the material…. But like I said for the price it can’t be beat!!! Just make sure you have enough space for it

Perfect with exceptional performance

The Good or should I say Great.The sound out of this speaker is fantastic. I originally bought a Denon receiver and 4 in ceiling Yamaha speakers. It sounded good but lacking while I decided on the center channel. I did not Like the look of most of them and the wall was too full to hide it. I decided I like the looks and reviews of the Klipsch speakers, and the first one did not match the amp rating I was looking for to match the system I was building. The dimensions on that one fit well also. I clicked this one and it fit well with all the other specs I was looking for, but I did not check its size.The I don't want to say bad, but I'll go with less welcome...Check the size and make sure you have room for it. It is huge .... massiveIt sounds so good it worth it but wow it big

I have a RP-500C and it was great, but like all of us I wanted more. I pulled the trigger for the RP-450C and it does not disappoint! From the moment I installed, it sounded great out the box and once the system was calibrated, Whoa! If you have the space for this center speaker buy it! You will not be disappointed.

I've only had it for 2 days now and so far it has done exactly what I wanted it to do which was to widen my dialog sound and better bridge the gap between the 2 fronts I have. Shipping was fast for a 50lb item. Thing is huge so make sure you have the space for it. So far loving it!

As for the seller, sound distributors, I am glad to have him get his profit from this sale. I was prepared to get this center speaker and anxious for having it in time for this weekend. He had only walnut color in stock so I messaged him about color and he responded in minutes. 2 day shipping was already close but because he responds quick it made it in time. He did not have black for few weeks so he upgraded me to newer model which will reflect review below but this seller is on point and to say very helpful would be selling him short. Thanks for great customer service and over satisfying customers.As for the productIt's a 504c, basically exact same specs just a few years newer model. It has about 6 hours of play time so still loosening up but dialog in both movies and music is clear as day. I am a person that enjoys bass on the heavy side and while this is not a bass speaker or sub, the outer speakers get lower while inner speakers get mid and horn, famous klipsch horn gives words perfectly. A liitle deep end bass from front towers. Side towers and rear towers with a sub for now sounds excellent. This center speaker not only suggests serious listening by just the size of it but again klipsch famous spun speaker color is so pretty. We listen to everything from classical to rap music and it has brought a smile to my face by hearing the clarity not only in vocals but instruments. As for movies, there was not one time anyone asked what did they say, from loud to whispers, there was no sign of distortion at all. I had the 62ii which is a good center choice but seemed hollow at times. While it is still a good choice it couldnt even be compared to this for obvious reasons. So for what i paid and what we have heard so far everyone is smiling. This is not cheap but if you treat speakers right they last for years in the meantime we get entertainment that sounds simply outstanding. From the pic you can see into the shelf it sits on. If it is tough to see it's because this dark black speaker takes up the entire shelf it is on. Couldn't fit on top shelf under TV cuz tv is at highest point mounted and speaker will slightly cover about an inch of the screen, I had to rewire my receiver to bottom shelf since a center speaker should not be on the floor. Pointed straight at the audience is best and this sound it produces is so clear that even from the side seats, dialog sound like it comes straight as you. If you are searching in this price range and want serious sound get ready to hear. While any 100 w channel receiver will push these, it does ask for 150 minimum. I am only curious as to correct power sounding even better.
