Great Deal!

Best bang for the buck center speaker IMHO. My usage is for home theater movies more than music and it sounds great.

No brainer on same

Given its discounted price this center channel is a no brainier. Nice, clear, full sound without being sibilant. Can play loudly. Are there better centers? Sure! For the same money? No For reference I bought this and the JBL 665C and preferred the RP-504C because of its fuller, more dynamic sound. I also have the Monolith 365C (in another system) and prefer the tonality of this speaker more. I'm the only person in my house who really cares about audio for off axis performance means little to me

Excellent Center Channel

As advertised. Great sound. Excellent buy. Only draw back is it's huge. Now need the 8060fa's ebony for a good price to complete surround system.

Good, but need diy enhancements

I?ve got 50% discount and read a lot of reviews. This speaker is good. But take a look on some DIY kits for improving crossover and wires and connectors. That will bring it to the next level for a reasonable price and you will have some fun by diy easy project.

Upgraded from the Klipsch R-34c. Night and day difference. The 504c is the real deal. Incredible sound that I didn?t know I was missing. Your home theater deserves this center speaker.

Amazing Reference Speaker

Colors and finish look amazing. Sound is top notch (I?m not an audiophile but it?s the best sounding center channel I?ve heard). It?s on the big side so definitely measure your area before buying.

RP-504C

I bought this speaker for my home theater when I upgraded from 2.1 to 5.1 setup. at first I was hesitant with the price tag that comes with it however it is by far the best investment I have made in my setup. there have been times where I am watching a movie and a doorbell would ring and door open and I was legitimately concerned that someone just let themselves into my home. This speaker adds a whole other dimension to watching movies and gaming. voices are always clear and crisp no matter what the scene is.

FEATURED REVIEWS

First Klipsch speaker

By Patrick

Klipsch is generally out of my price range so it will be slow going the get the full set so I choose the Premier series and the RP-504C walnut center speaker as my first purchase. I was not only NOT disappointed, I was blown away! All of the reviews I have read were spot on. I can't wait till I can get a few more Klipsch speakers!

You don?t know what you don?t hear

By JDaniels

I had no idea what I was missing. This blew me away.

The Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-504C center channel speaker brings movie dialogue and music lyrics to life. Four 5.25" Cerametallic woofers and a hybrid Tractrix horn emit lifelike, front row sound.

Hybrid Tractrix Horn Technology
Klipsch proprietary Tractrix horn-loaded technology ensures high-frequency energy of the RP-504C center channel speaker is aimed directly at the listener and reduces unwanted, artificial reverb caused by indirect sound bouncing off walls - meaning you experience the most clear, detailed, lifelike sound possible.

Horn Anatomy
Klipsch Reference Premiere series speakers feature a compressed molded silicon face thats matted to the 90x90 Tractrix horn to reduces horn resonance for a smoother frequency response. Klipsch computer modeled phase plugs acts as a mechanical filter to further ensure a smooth, flat frequency response while protecting the tweeter from damage.

All-New Vented Tweeter
A vented tweeter design reduces standing waves behind the tweeter diaphragm for a smoother high frequency reproduction.

The titanium tweeter diaphragm's light weight yet rigid composition exceeds the performance of aluminum, polymer or silk tweeters.

Klipsch award-winning Linear Travel Suspension technology leverages a piston motion of the titanium diaphragm that lowers distortion and delivers real-to-life sound.

A ceramic magnet housing provides premium performance, Klipsch Reference Premiere tweeters set the standard in acoustic reproduction.

Cerametallic Woofers
Klipsch Proprietary Cerametallic woofers are the RP-504C center channel speaker's signature statement for both sound and aesthetics. This extremely light, rigid materials holds its shape while being able to deliver lower frequencies with maximum efficiency.

Woofer Anatomy
Klipsch Cerametallic cones are matted to a dual-layer, copper-wound voice coil for exceptional conductivity. Reference Premiere woofers are housed in a non-resonating, stamped-steel basket that's secured to a large magnet motor for exceptional efficiency and low distortion, and matched to our horn-loaded tweeters for optimal acoustic execution.

Rear Tractrix Port
The rear Tractrix port of the Reference Premiere center channel speakers is perfectly matched to the cabinet and woofers, creating ideal airflow with minimal distortion or turbulence even at the lowest frequencies.

Finished to Perfection
The RP-504C ebony finish boast satin painted baffles with a scratch resistant design for an elegant audio solution to your home theater system. Strong, flexible, magnetic grilles provide protection and a sleek aesthetic to compliment your home's decor.

90 Degree x 90 Degree Silicon Composite Hybrid Tractrix Horn
Horn loading maximizes efficiently and increases detail while focusing high frequencies towards the listening area. Proprietary Tractrix geometry provides the most efficient transfer of high frequency waves into the listening area. The phase plug and compressed molded silicon face ensure smooth frequency response. When combined, the cleanest, most natural sound possible is created.

Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) Titanium Diaphragm Tweeter
The exclusive Linear Travel Suspension minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performance. LTS tweeters are a hallmark of previous Reference lines, making it a core component of some of the best speakers in the world.

Vented Tweeter Design
The new vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics, resulting in enhanced detail and clarity in high frequency reproduction.

Spun Copper Cerametallic Woofers
A signature feature on the Reference Premiere series, Cerametallic woofers are exceptionally rigid and lightweight for minimal distortion and maximum efficiency. When paired with the Tractrix horn-loaded LTS tweeter, it provides the highest speaker efficiency in its class.

Tractrix Ports
Utilizing Tractrix geometry, the Reference Premiere ports allow for the most efficient, fastest air transfer from the cabinet, which reduces port noise for punchier low frequencies. Klipsch Tractrix ports have custom designed inner flares that help reduce air turbulence entering the port. Less turbulent air helps reduce port noise for cleaner, more powerful bass.

Robust Input Terminals
Single 5-way screw terminals accept banana plugs or bare wire up to 12-gauge for flexible, lasting connections while the vibrant color coding provides easy set-up and connection

Dramatic Details
Copper anodized trim rings, cast aluminum feet, satin painted baffles and a laser etched logo treatment give the Reference Premiere II series a modern, premium look.
