Klipsch RP-504C Center Channel Speaker (Walnut)

The price was well worth the quality of this center speaker. Clear and quality sound from this speaker makes listening to music, games and movies even better.

Better horn, I can feel tweeter, and the vocal sounds better than the old series. I was happy with my old Klipsch center speaker, but I saw the deal get a good deal with Klipsch RP-504C Center Channel Speaker.

I purchased the Klipsch RP-504C Center channel to mate with RP-8060FA fronts after seeing expert reviews on YouTube. Had been running Klipsch R-25C with R-15M fronts. While waiting on the 504C to arrive I had the R-25C running which is basically the same speaker as the RP-504C less 2 ea of the 5.25 copper spun woofers. For the price difference and very little noticeable audio upgrade, the R-25C was just as clear and nearly as full bodied. For the $250 or more price upgrade not nearly worth what you get in my opinion. I did find it to provide clear, unmuddled dialogue for both broadcast TV and Dolby surround movie viewing. Add 20#s for the two woofers and extended, deeper cabinet and you have a formidable obstacle to manage for the average home theater setup. Given the time and logistics I will most likely just keep the addition and I think I may add another R-25C to my setup and use them for Surround and move the R-15M set to rears... another AVR upgrade... ergo my Empty Pockets moniker. Bottom line for the huge price difference youre not getting very much. And if you move up to the latest, greatest Klipsch release with the RP-8060FA II and the RP-504C II, you are really getting drilled for multiples in price point which I expect given this result, receive very little to show for the upgrade except the huge bank account drain. Sorry Klipsch, I like your products but your pricing makes absolutely no sense and the final sound result for the upgrades is negligible. Empty Pockets

I added this speaker to my theater room and the sound is so crisp and clear now. I absolutely love this speaker I wish I would have bought it sooner, I would definitely purchase if you are looking to upgrade your system. the speaker is large so make sure you have room to add it.

Im convinced that Klipsch is a discount brand disguising itself as premium. Sure they are on sale all the time - however, this center channel is so shrill! Dont bother. I sent it back. And I have expensive front speakers...wow these are just ear piercing.

I didnt buy this through Amazon but wish I did because it would have cost a lot less. Nevertheless, I spent $900 and have absolutely no regrets. Never really was a Klipsch lover but fell in love with this center. Its incredibly life like, possesses clear dialogue with incredible depth. Vocals are placed perfectly and clear as a whistle, even during loud action scenes. Very well balanced with immense detail. What blows me away is its soundstage as its WIDE. WOW! I have a full in ceiling Atmos system and even though it sounded great before but this center blends so magnificently that all the height channels sound so much better and are all-encompassing where the sound is very full. Never heard a center that could be so full, blended and a compliment to your surround and height speakers. Its a dramatic upgrade!

For what I got the speaker for was a deal and it’s a 10 out of 10 I am Klipsch fan can say you hear every little detail it doesn’t have to be at high volume to injoy the klipsch Center 504c gets the job done

July 30, 2022 (edited August 7, 2022): The package arrive in tact. I paired the RP-504C with RP-8000Fs, RP-500Ms, and an HSU VTF2-MK5 with Denon AVR. While the Klipsch brand is great, the RP-504C was a great speaker and it did enhance the sound. HOWEVER, it also directed all the sound to the center so much so, that the left, right and surround channels got drowned out. Nothing I did with my AVR could bring it back. The Audassey setup did ask if I wanted to expand the center to the Left and Right channels and I chose No. When I wanted to set it back there was no option to do that, unless I ran the Audassey setup again. So while this DOES sound great and it did improve the center sound, I felt I lost the fidelity of the left/right and surround channels. This made it sound as if the center was over pronounced. Once disconnected I got back that big theater sound I was used to. I do want a center channel, just not one that hogs the middle ground and the sound stage, in my opinion. So the RP-504C was too big for my setup. So I learned that I should have gotten the RP-404C (or an earlier model) for my particular setup. So I returned it the same day I got it for a refund (minus UPS pickup fee). PaulJC

This is a very high profile center channel speaker. The crisp sound of dialogue and center presence is unbelievable making movie watching a real pleasure. Paired with a set of Klipsch RF-280F reference premiere main speakers is the real deal. It’s like having a real band in my living room. Lows are not as pronounced as I expected seeing the massive size of these furniture grade speakers but the sub is really designed for sonic lows. As a reference speaker, if the material calls for subtle lows, the speaker delivers as it was intended with no added bass. Speech is really pronounced overpowering the main speakers as it is supposed to when listening to movies. Music is the opposite whereas the main speakers dominate the center channel very noticeably as they were intended. These however fill the hollow gap between left and right channels so stereo sound is not coming from extreme left and right but instead from a panoramic left to right presence. This effect was AWESOME! The sound is EVERYWHERE simulating a real live event. VERY IMPORTANT...these are like horizontal tower speakers!!! This is a HUGE speaker and very few cabinets and stands support this massive weight and size. MEASURE YOUR PLACEMENT CAREFULLY. After lots of research, I finally found a tempered glass TV stand that supports this size speaker perfectly, so much so that I thought it was designed for this speaker. Amazon sells the AVF SDC1140-A three tier stand as you can see from my photo. The piano-grade cabinet is high-end and too nice to risk damaging it by placing a TV or any component on it. The stand I recommend should compensate for this risk.

I recently upgraded from a Klipsch Rc-62ii center to the RP-504c and the difference was instant. I absolutely love this speaker. This thing packs a power punch with clean sound and vocals. The Walnut finish is beautiful and kind of makes me wish I did the rest if my setup in Walnut instead of black. Ha But this is the final piece to my setup and I couldnt be happier. Klipsch is the best speakers on the market. Put your money into a quality center speaker, you wont regret it!
