Klipsch RP-504C Center Channel Speaker (Walnut)

Looks and sounds great, I’m very happy with Klipsch.

I had no idea the impact a good center speaker would do for my 5.1.4 theater system. I tried a cheaper center speaker but it did not work well. None of the voices in movies came through. Since I upgraded I love it. As soon as I plugged it in my home theater became like sitting in a movie theater.

This piano finish Klipsch RP-504C speaker has exceptional build quality and appearance and was the last piece to complete my all piano finish speaker system. I replaced an older RP-440C and there is a noticeable improvement in sound listening to HD FLAC music and movies. It should get better with a little burn-in time and as I fine tune it. If you like Klipsch speakers I can recommend this one for a bargain price compared to the latest RP-504C II.

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.

Best speaker in my system. A real game changer. Last installment of my new system. Blew me away how one speaker can make all the difference.

Not sure why the piano black was so much cheaper but I really like it. The depth of voice Is much more detailed with this center. You can hear the bass without it all going to my subs. I feel like it’s worth the price of admission. Not sure if I would have paid more for the ebony finish and felt happy with the purchase.

I cant believe it took me so long to step up to real speakers for my home. This center channel sounds great. It really helps complete the surround sound experience that I was previously lacking. Watching movies in my man cave just went up a level.

The speaker is an excellent center channel. The overall design is excellent and easy to install.

Sound picture is perfect. Did a ton of research and found this to be best quality and price. Matched it into an existing Reference Premier 7.1 setup replacing a hi fidelity good brand center speaker and couldn’t be more pleased. It’s worth it.

I like the glossy, piano black finish that Klipsch dropped from the Series II line. The sound is great, an excellent upgrade from my Yamaha CS-N444 MTM center channel (now used for Surround Back). This speaker with MMTMM configuration works great for old monaural soundtrack films, and provides deep, wide center channel projection for 5.1 or 7.1 content. I no longer have to adjust center width with my audio-video receiver to create a full-screen sounding center. The gold colored Klipsch badge on the front is a tiny distraction. I simply colored it carefully with a black Super Sharpie and now it doesnt catch the light while Im watching a movie. (Taking the grill off is more of a visual distraction. See pic.) The grill attaches with hidden magnets, and positions perfectly every time. Rather than using the included rubber feet, I used two oblong Super Slider furniture moving pads (rubber on one side, soft felt on the other) to raise the speaker to the right height for my media console shelf. I couldnt be happier with this speaker!
