Klipsch RC-25 Center Channels

Klipsch RC-25 Center Channels 

DESCRIPTION

The center channel is the most important component of a surround sound system, but it is often overlooked. In fact, it produces more than 60 percent of all soundtrack materials. Klipsch certainly gives the new RC-25 center channel the attention it deserves by incorporating new features that enhance performance and installation flexibility. This detailed performer establishes a new value price point in the Reference Series line by continuing to offer phenomenal sound and stylish flair, but at an even more affordable price.

The RC-25 delivers precise, subtle and exhilarating sounds through dual 5.25-inch woofers and a 1-inch tweeter that has a light titanium-dome diaphragm and a high-energy, video-shielded Neodymium magnet. The tweeter is coupled to an exclusive Klipsch square Tractrix® Horn that boosts the driver’s already high sensitivity while minimizing room interactions that cause loss of sonic detail.

After the break-in period, the speaker sounds ten times more amazing than i'd expected. Thanks to matt (review below), i called the company i bought it from, and the adjustment arm has been ordered (with their deepest apologies of course)

Strength:

For the money, I dare anyone to find a center channel that even compares to the RC 25. Very crisp, excellent highs and dialogue is out standing. I have read before about people saying they never knew what they were missing before they had a center channel..I am now one of them.

Weakness:

I have not found any yet. Another reviewer said this speaker did not have an adjustment leg to aim the speaker. That is not true, mine came with one that fits on the front or the back, depending on whether you want to tilt up or down.

Been saving for a Klipsch center channel ever since I did the studio comparison with several other name brand speakers. The Klipsch just blew me away. I really like the crispness that it lends to all types of audio. I hope to keep adding to my system with other Klipsch speakers in the future

Compared to Paradigm, Boston Acoustic, JBL and Infinity Center Channels. Close your eyes and listen to the difference... everytime you will come back to the Klipsch... its that good.

Strength:

Fantastic sound quality... clear dialogue and great presence. Klipsch fixed the issue of flimsy fasteners on the speaker grill by replacing them with magnets for easy removal and extra strength.

Weakness:

I wish it had a tilt mechanism for better imaging (I have a piece of wood wedged under it to angle it since it's above my tv).

I had planned on getting the RC-3 II but after listening to the RC-25 in the store paired with a set of RF-5's, it sounded fantastic (I have RF-3's at home). It's a little smaller than the RC-3II but sounds even clearer. Excellent speaker all around.
