Great full Center channel speaker

This center speaker is fantastic! I have been a long time Klipsch speaker owner and I now have upgraded my center channel speaker to this one and the sound is so great. It comes out so much fuller than I could have imagined.

Excellent speaker

Great sound which is much better than the speaker it replaced. Keep in mind that this speaker is huge and heavy. Make sure you have the space for it before purchasing.

Big speaker, Big soind.

It looks great. Came packed in original box with all necessary paperwork. Only took four days from time shipped to receive. Big speaker, big sound. I have a large open room and it performs great all around. Like I said it?s a large speaker so be sure you have the space. Adorama made the whole transaction smooth and painless. Highly recommended.

Nice

This fits the aesthetic of my RP-280FAs nicely. The out of box didn't quite match as well as I thought it would, but after doing some EQ calibration across all the speakers it meshes nicely.

Music to my Ears

This center channel elevated my 7.1 setup. Perfectly compliments my B&W floor speakers. The sound is crisp, punchy and has transformed my viewing experience. Good sound for both movies and music. It is on the larger side, but it doesn?t upset!

outstanding sound quality

I had a 20 yr old Acoustic Research Ar4c center, which has always been solid. However, this center blows that away. the clarity alone was shocking. I no longer feel that voices are muddled, etc... I don't have to have the system volume as high, etc... Physically, this thing is enormous. 2x the size of my previous center. pretty awesome. feels very solid.

Holographic Sound

Incredible center channel. This actually replaced a newer but smaller klipsch RP-500C. Although the 500 series are newer and have a technically better tweeter design, there?s much more definition and clarity with my upgrade. The tweeter is slightly brighter than the 500 series, but the 450C timbre matches my JBL Signature S2 Omnidirectional towers. (Circa 1988, very rare, comparable to Ohm Walsh omnis). The dispersion pattern is much wider which greatly benefits more wider viewing angles. The sound itself, with a good amp, is natural and holographic even. You?ll hear dialog and sounds so natural you?d believe you?re there.

Cinema sound in the home

This thing is massive, very heavy and large. But that's what I like about it, it oozes quality and performance. I built a costume stand for my TV just so that this speak can sit under it. The sound is simply sublime, the highs are crisp and clean with no crackling even in the most demanding content, the mids are warm and not overbearing. The voices in movies and vocals in songs sound very natural.

Large, but worth it!

I didnt have an intention of replacing my 2 week old center channel, but after the change I'm glad I did. I had the Klipsch RF-62 ii that was on sale a few weeks before, with this its even better. Its just slightly clearer and being a little shorter I'm hoping I can hide it in a cabinet easier. Would highly recommend this especially paired with the rest of the RP series.

Great full Center channel speaker

By frizz

This center speaker is fantastic! I have been a long time Klipsch speaker owner and I now have upgraded my center channel speaker to this one and the sound is so great. It comes out so much fuller than I could have imagined.

The Reference Premiere RP-450C center channel speaker brings movie dialogue and music lyrics to life. Four 5.25" Cerametallic woofers and a Hybrid Cross-Section Tractrix Horn emit lifelike, front row sound.

90 x 90 Hybrid Tractrix Horn
Redesigned Tactrix Horn utilizes a circular horn throat paired to a square horn mouth to further improve high-frequency response and extension, while enhancing imaging and dynamics. The compressed molded rubber construction adds high frequency damping to reduce harshness and improve detail. This creates the cleanest, most natural sound possible.

Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) Titanium Tweeter
A Linear Travel Suspension minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performance. LTS Tweeters have been a hallmark of previous Reference lines, as well as our flagship Klipsch Palladium series, making it a core component of some of the best speakers in the world.

Spun Copper Cerametallic Woofers
Cerametallic woofers represent the pinnacle of Klipsch driver design, maintaining exceptional rigidity, and lightweight construction, for minimal cone breakup and distortion. When paired with the Tractrix Horn-loaded LTS tweeter, it provides speaker efficiency highest in its class.

All New Tractrix Port
Utilizing Tractrix geometry, the all new Reference Premiere ports allows for the most efficient, fastest air transfer from the cabinet - for the cleanest, most powerful low frequency response on the market.

MDF Cabinet With Brushed Polymer Veneer Baffle Finish
Contemporary aesthetic with absolute durability that results in a seamless integration into any decor.

Strong, Flexible, Removable Grille
Attaches magnetically for an elegant transition from powerful showstopper to discrete performance piece.
