Strength:
Efficiency, Match for heritage series Klipsch, Good Sound
Weakness:
Horn is not mounted horizontaly when laying down. This Is a faantastic speaker. I just wish the horn was mounted the other way. I was told this speaker was designed to be used for left right and center in a matched array so the horn was put horizontal when standing upright It is a good enough speaker to function as a main but I doubt too many are used this way. Anyway It still sounds great and matches my fortes very nicely. Similar Products Used: Nothing was even close at the time but the c7 is said to be comprable |

Strength:
Great natural voice sound. Handles lot's of power. Nice full range.
Weakness:
I don't think they make this one any more. I love this speaker. It matches my other Klipsch speakers perfectly. I haven't seen it for sale recently, so I'm afraid it might not be around anymore. It's rare to hear such a full sound from a center speaker, not to mention one that can handle deep bass voices without any trouble. |

Strength:
Awsome
Weakness:
None This is the biggest center speaker I have ever seen. I boughtr it along with my Klipsch fronts and rears. They say the center channel is the most important. Believe me this baby can handle the power to go along with your fronts. Who wants a little front when your wattage should be the same across the front! This is a huge center speaker. If your a Klipsch fan yhis is a must. Paid 450$ for mine 5 years ago. Similar Products Used: Gimme a break |

Strength:
You will have difficulty finding a more dynamic powerful speaker out there. Because it is such an efficient speaker it is very easy to drive, even for the weakest amps.
Weakness:
Isn't great for the deepest bass, and the magnetic shielding could be better. I have two of these speakers and they have been given just about the most difficult test possible. I was unaware that they were meant to be used as a center channel, so they've been used as the main speakers for about eight years now. Try that with just about any other center channel and you will understand just how good these speakers are. They can be driven at high volumes playing music heavy in bass(mostly techno) for long periods of time without any trouble what so ever. Yet at the same time they are also detailed and accurate enough to be used for classical music. Voices are reproduced superbly, obviously a neccesity for a center channel, and explosions are handled with aplomb. You can throw just about anything at these speakers and they will just throw it right back at you and ask for more. Unfortunately they are no longer manufactured so it will be neccesary to find them used. Durability shouldn't be much of a problem either. Mine have been living in a house with four teenagers for their entire life, so that should give some idea of how durable they are. Speakers don't come much better than this, and for the price you will find nothing even similar. Similar Products Used: Nothing close enough to even consider similar. |

Strength:
Incredible realism to vocals and soundstage
Weakness:
larger than most centers - works nicely for big screens though I bought this center channel through the want ads after trying the Bose routine. This is WITHOUT DOUBT - the BEST center channel on the market. The degree of realism in DVDS and music ( 5 channel stereo ) is unmatched in todays marketplace. If you can find one - get one - because you won't get mine ! Similar Products Used: Bose, Other Klipsch center channels |
