Klipsch RC-7 Center Channels

Klipsch RC-7 Center Channels 

DESCRIPTION

In conjunction with the introduction of our new Reference Series flagship floorstanding loudspeaker (RF-7), we have also introduced the RC-7, a new high performance center channel that matches the flagship model in performance, technology, materials and styling. The new RC-7 center channel also features Klipsch’s tapered array technology, which provides more consistent coverage across the listening field and improved dialogue intelligibility.

The RC-7 was designed to provide "best in class" home theater and multi-channel audio surround sound (with the matching RF-7 flagship loudspeakers, RSW-15 subwoofer and RS-7 rear channel speakers), but its striking metal drivers and real-wood enclosure also make it a desirable complement to any decor. Available in three beautiful furniture-grade veneers — black, maple or cherry — each handcrafted, real-wood finish is unique.

Strength:

Simply put, awesome.

Weakness:

It's HUGE! No problem if using an entertainment center, but could pose difficulties if you try to put it on top of a TV.

WOW! I upgraded from an NHT Audio Center One that I bought a few years ago. I was concerned moving from such a detail oriented speaker as NHT, but my worries were in vain. The RC-7 is fantastic. The huge enclosure is certainly a precursor to gigantic sound. The voices are rich and lifelike without any distortion. I highly recommend this center channel if you are using Klipsch reference speakers for your front channels.

Strength:

Natural and Detailed

Weakness:

It should have a lower frequincy response with two 8" woofers.

This is a high quality speaker. Very natural, and detailed. Exactly what you need out of a center channel. I have RC-7 center RB5.II mains SS-1 surrounds Energy S12 sub H/K AVR-8000 receiver Panny RP-91 DVD Panny 32" tau HDTV I dont go to the movie theater anymore. Nuff said. You cant beat the price from www.AcousticSoundDesign.com

Strength:

Deep bass, full soundstage, very effecient.

This is as full of a center channel speaker as I have heard. Non-fatiging, and great soundstage. I replaced my RC-# with this unit and I heard things in movies I had not before. This is paired with Klipsch klf-20''''s for mains, RF-3II''''s for surrounds, and the RC-3 for rear. Sub is a ksw-15. This center compliments the mains perfectly. Al of this without completely breaking in yet!!!

Strength:

Transparent audio - no boxiness or coloration.

The RC-7 delivers smooth, voice-like sounds and makes viewing movies much more enjoyable. An added bonus is the good audio reproduction for music.

Strength:

Construcion, Increible Efficiency, Clarity, All. I didn't know what I was missing on my movies.
Increible claridad, la construccion es fenomenal, definitivamente Klipsh contruye parlantes super eficientes.

Weakness:

Haven't found them so far.
No he encontrado aun ninguna

Super Efficiency, their sound are sweet, I used to turn dowm my front speakers and increase the overall volume in order to hear the central channel properly, now this is amazing, I'm seeing my movies again, now I'm enjoy the sound from this monster.
Music from it is great too, I used my Marantz receiver in S-Direct, switching the L & R Speakers acrooss the RC-7, but I can also listen to it in 3Ch Stereo, or 5Ch Stereo.
