I've been watching this speaker for awhile now. Waiting for the black version to get back in stock. When BOOM big sale on the walnut color. How could I say no?! So glad I did though. Couldn't be happier with the quality. Definitely going to add more to my collection.

Bought this center channel recently to replace an aging Infinity center channel speaker. I could barely hear the conversations on tv and the movies I watched. This Klipsch center channel sounds awesome. Dialogue is loud clear and powerful? a vast improvement over the Infinity. Don?t hesitate to buy it!

Excellent performance from a smaller package. I have this on top of my media center and anything larger wouldn?t fit in. This unit is provides clear, impactful sound for movies and tv. I love it.

I bought the center channel to replace a polk center I was using. The polk was good and there was nothing wrong with it whatsoever, but the Klipsch blows it out of the water. When I watch movies my dialogue is much more clear now. It's a dramatic and very noticable improvement. This is a great center channel at a great price and I would highly recommend it.

Get crystal-clear sound for your movie dialogue and music lyrics with the incredible acoustics of the Klipsch RP-500C center channel speaker. Our proprietary Tractrix horn-loaded technology gives you a lifelike, front-row listening experience unlike any other.
Hybrid Tractrix Horn Technology
Klipsch proprietary Tractrix horn-loaded technology ensures high-frequency energy of the RP-500C 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-500C 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

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
