Product Details

Klipsch Dual 5.25" Two-Way Center Channel Speaker, Model RC52

Because the center channel speaker reproduces more than 60 percent of a movie soundtrack, Klipsch spared no expense when developing the Reference Series RC-52. With its ideal combination of technology, performance and design, this speaker delivers a seamless, engaging soundstage that puts listeners inside the action. Exclusive Tractrix® Horns have always been the key component of this critically acclaimed series. In the RC-52, this technology has been refined to include improved throat geometry for a more genuine, lifelike sound. Behind the horn lies a 1-inch titanium tweeter with a powerful neodymium magnet motor structure to provide a unique combination of precision, clarity and effortless dynamics.

    Comments about Klipsch Dual 5.25" Two-Way Center Channel Speaker - Black Finish:

    I use this, with rb 61 fronts, rs 42 surrounds, and a BA subwoofer, in an 8x8 home theater setup, powered by a Denon 2310. It's massive, but unobtrusive, and I'd recommend a stand for alignment with the fronts. Effect has been fantastic, as it brings out dialog/vocals that otherwise tend to get "smothered" by other components.

    Comments about Klipsch Dual 5.25" Two-Way Center Channel Speaker - Black Finish:

    I've had the Klipsch RC52 for about a month and we are amazed at the sound quality difference it has made in our home theater system. Before I purchased the RC52 center speaker we rarely used our surround sound system because it never really seemed balanced - voices were hard to hear and explosions would knock pictures off the wall. A friend told me that surround sound relies heavily on the center speaker and that I should invest in a quality one in order to get the most out of our system, and recommended the RC52. Now, because of the RC52 center speaker, almost all of our television listening is done through our home theater system. After some comparison shopping we decided to purchase the RC52 from Abt. Abt had a very competitive price on the RC52[...]

      Replaced an older ADS Center Channel with this one-unbelievable. The first Blu Ray I watched-X3, I actually ducked when something exploded. The high end is so crisp-blew me away. This is the ONLY speaker I replaced in my entire system, based on my experience, the two front channels are next.

        I can finally hear dialogue! This center channel is crystal clear. The sound is bright and very loud, which is perfect for cutting through the mix of fronts/surrounds/backs. It's also a very solid piece of hardware.

        Service and delivery comments:

        Delivery was on time/as expected. Shipping was fast. Wonderful.

          This center channel speaker is very crisp and clean. It finished out my now 5.1 system. It sounds great with my older Klipsch KP 101's in the front. For the money it just doesn't get any better.
