The perfect fit

It was the perfect to my 7.1 home theater system, coupled with 4 R-40's and R-12sw, it fills the room everything my old polk couldn't do. The voice rings true, with movies and music. I'm glad I got it..

A very happy customer from Adorama. Thanks for the great service and prices.

So far this has been a awesome experience and the sound is awesome. I also purchased the R-620F floorstanding speakers and they are awesome as well. I wish I had purchased them a long time ago as the sound is uncompairable with my old speakers. You will not be unhappy if you get these. And the price is awesome as well. Thanks Adorama for the business....

Good speaker, no mounts

Good speaker but no wall mounts. This was pretty strange to me as a lot of other center channels have holes on them for mounting. We ended up putting it on a table. Audio is great and no other issues.

Love this center!

After quite a bit of reading and speaking with a number of folks, I finally decided on the R-52C as my center channel in my modest home theater setup. It is paired with the Klipsch RP-600M mains (yes, I've moved to small bookshelf speakers now). My rears and sub remain as Polk and an older Klispch 15" for now. I'm very happy with the sound from the R-52C, dialog is about 25-30% improved over my older center, which I'm very happy about. Can't wait to begin filling out the other channels.

Nice and clear sound

Nice built and audio quality. I wish it can be more slimmer to fit under the TV just like a soundbar. I can hear the dialogues clear and crisp. Will recommend to buy.

Great size to pair with bookshelf speakers

Went with R41s as side speakers with this R52C in the center of my Atmos setup, and the whole front looks great on a 7ft wide stand under our wall hanging tv. Would recommend

Worth the investment

I'm really impressed at the sound quality even at low volume levels. My previous system I had to turn the volume up often to get the same sound levels.

Hard To Beat The Sound Quality Of Klipsch

Bought the Klipsch R-52C center speaker to replace an existing center speaker that was not up to par as far as hearing voices clearly while watching movies. The Klipsch was an almost exact size and as the previous speaker and was a noticeable improvement. Adorama shipping was fast and on time considering they shipped it here in California. I will replace two more speakers in our surround system with Klipsch in the near future.

Sufficient but not special.

This unit is a very good speaker at its price range, but I was not so happy with it as a center channel. There was a lot missing from the voice, and music coming out of it. I replaced it with rp504c and the difference is day and night. However, this wont be a fair comparison since the rp504 costs 2x more.

Over The Top - Klipsch 5.1 theater pack and Adorama service

The Klipsch brand is what my son talked me into. He is a huge Klipsch fan (and me too). We are from Indianapolis and find the Klipsch family story very inspiring. The speakers have incredible definition. The computerized, self-starting speaker balancing system is AWESOME. The speakers are more beautiful naked than with their clothes on (unlike some of us). They are powered by a new ONKYO system. BUT here is the icing on the cake: The superb attention to packaging and shipment by ADORAMA was outstanding. The delivery times were met or arrived sooner than expected. Order fulfillment was almost immediate and email communication from ADORAMA was outstanding. Thanks for a great product and great service ADORAMA!!

Outstanding speakers

OUTSTANDING speakers that were well worth the investment :) Crisp and clear sound that has a "soft" quality - like a warm blanket on a cold night - speakers simply wrap the sound around you.

Klipsch - Keepers of the Sound

90 x 90 Taractrix Horn

Klipsch exclusive 90x90 Tractrix horn technology ensures that the R-610F high-frequency energy is aimed at the listener and reduces artificial reverb or filtering caused by indirect sound bouncing off of walls. Using this proprietary focused technology gives you the best clarity, dynamics and detail from your movies and music.

Klipsch Tractrix Horn Technology

Spun Copper IMG Woofers

Injection Molded Graphite (IMG) woofer cones are exceptionally light while being extremely rigid – providing remarkable low frequency response, with minimal cone breakup and distortion. When paired with the Tractrix Horn-loaded LTS tweeter, it provides speaker efficiency highest in its class.

Spun Copper IMG Woofer

Rear Tractrix Port

The rear Tractrix port is perfectly matched to the cabinet and woofers, creating ideal airflow with minimal distortion or turbulence even at the lowest frequencies.

LINEAR TRAVEL SUSPENSION (LTS) ALUMINUM TWEETER WITH KAPTON SUSPENSION
