  1. FMSoonerFan –

    All you want and more. This provides the mids and highs with clarity and separation.

  2. Newsound –

    Exceptional sound quality for the price. Delivers great voice sounds. Covers full range of voices

  3. ChadO –

    Got this as open box in excellent condition at an incredible price tag.

  4. RarifiedOrc –

    Honestly, I couldn’t find any reviews on this piece so I will write my own. Firstly, it’s crystal clear and definitely a center piece. Secondly, it looks good. The copper and black just goes together

  5. Unknown –

    I’ve been looking a good dialog center Channel Speaker, I have a hearing problem and is difficult to hear the TV.
    This speaker made a big difference the voices sound very clear. I’m planing to buy more Klipsch speakers for my home theater.

  6. CyberDad –

    Center channel is definitely the heart of your home theater and this one blows my old yamaha out of the water. I couldn’t imagine it was going to be this big of a difference but it is.

  7. Kevin61 –

    Great speaker. A big upgrade from previous speaker that came in a set. Dialog very clear. Easy to set up and it looks good. I would recommend this. I got it on sale at agreat price.

  8. Matt –

    Best center speaker ive ever owned and ive owned many.

  9. JMART –

    Excellent center channel speaker. My old center channel speaker was just too small. Sometimes my family and I would miss certain words in a movie due to this. This speaker has made a huge difference, I should have upgraded years ago.

  10. SeanP –

    Great sound! This replaced an older Onkyo unit that was no match for my Klipsch towers. Next up… a new Klipsch sub.

  11. RichardO –

    Once again Klipsch and Best Buy team up to bring a superior product and a great price…!!!

  12. Shawn –

    Wanted a new center because i wanted a slimmer profile. This is slim with a huge sound. Klipsch did an excellent job on this one.

  13. Cody –

    This was the missing piece to my 5.1 system as an upgrade. The voices are crystal clear and it was definitely worth upgrading.

  14. ArondelH –

    Great Product, I’m still enjoying it! I would recommend this item.

  15. Unknown –

    great speaker would recommend to others would buy again

  16. SheB –

    I recently purchased a new tv and wanted to add a center channel speaker to my other speakers. I love the sound. I also love the look of Klipsch speakers.

  17. WilliamB –

    Clearest voices, very loud perfect for a home theater room.

  18. AdamC –

    Absolutely one of the best sounds out there! KLIPSCH IS LEGIT!

  19. JJones –

    Clear crisp sound. Definitely recommend purchasing this product.

  20. MikeH –

    Good sound but a bit flat
    Don’t have much more to say

  21. WilliamM –

    Doesn’t matter if I watch TV, Movies, listen to music or play games….anything and I mean ANYTHING I listen to has the clearest vocal soundstage I have heard. As far as clarity it gives a much higher priced and larger Martin Logan center a run for its money. Once you get past the lower mids is the only place bigger more expensive units may start to take the cake. But for me I have other speakers that are tuned to hit those, plus its wider soundstage allows it to blend seamlessly allowing for the strong clear voices to continue to shine. Plus if you have a receiver that allows you to widen your center stage (if that you thing) because of the 5 speaker design and wide placement, this is the center that will fill your needs while saving you some $$.

  22. MHcomputerman –

    I had an older Klipsch center but it was too tall and not aesthetically appealing. Had swapped it out for a boss center speaker a ways back and was never really happy with it. Recently we picked up a new 85” TV and needed something with the dimensions of this new center speaker with some nice aesthetics for the family room. It sounds great and we can decide when we want the cover on or off to get a different look under the TV. Really pleased all around

  23. SaraB –

    My husband loves it! This was the last piece to complete out surround sound and we couldn’t be happier with the results

  24. CristianL –

    Excellent center speaker ! Can’t go wrong with Klipsch

  25. KeithC –

    It’s a great speaker, but no better than my JBL from 21 years ago. I returned it.

  26. brax –

    This speaker replaced a much larger Cerwin Vega center speaker, with dual 6.5″ drivers. I needed something that would fit into a rather tight space on an entertainment center, and I was a little concerned that the 4 smaller drivers on this speaker might mean loosing some of the “thump” that my old one provided. I was pleasantly surprised that not only was that not the case, but actually sounded appreciably better than the larger speaker! I don’t know how Klipsch does it, but the engineering of their speakers obviously provides superior sound for the size.

  27. MichaelG –

    Great Speak, at a great price, a perfect addition to our Theater room.

  28. Brian –

    Clean and crisp sound. Very efficient speakers. Great bass and really pulls out speech frequencies to enhance the OEM TV speakers.

  29. BobbyW –

    love it! I currently have 8 speakers home theater that is all Klipsch and they sound amazing

  30. George –

    It really dosen’t stand out like I thought it would with the Klipsch R 600’s. But I’m still adjusting settings.

  31. AnthonyP –

    Beautiful sound ………………………………………………………………………………….::

  32. Foose –

    This center channel is so crisp and clear. Was on sale and better than Amazon

  33. Workshopclient –

    It’s way clearer than the 4 older speakers from the 80s and 90s (which makes up the rest of the surround system) and even my mama can hear the difference

  34. Kailey –

    After moving this has been the only speaker I’ve had hooked up besides my sub. Honestly if you wanna get super good quality without shoving all in for a full system this bad boy is super crisp and pairs really well with the RP-1000SW. For being such a small light soundbar it gets incredibly loud and doesn’t lose a drop of clarity.

  35. Recon –

    These speakers exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is fantastic.

  36. AnthonyM –

    These speakers are great! Very powerful for your center stage. Build quality is amazing like all Klipsch products. My only slight issue was that the sound is a bit muddy. The center channel is used mostly for dialogue so it needs to be accurate for the high treble, but it’s very boomy. I needed to EQ some high end and remove most of its low end for the clarity to really shine. Other than that its great!

  37. KevinC –

    My wife said she was having trouble with hearing dialect on my old center. This Klipsch mad a huge difference. I couldn’t believe it. Also was about $150 less in store than price on the website.

  38. RochMatt27 –

    This speaker sounds awesome as my center channel in a 5.1 system and it was a good price

  39. AlexD –

    This does add a layer of depth to the sound when you have other speakers

  40. KellyH –

    I like the speaker. But now realize I need a new AVR!

  41. Kevin –

    I am very pleased with the Klipsh center channel speaker I recently purchased from Best Buy. Same day delivery was an unexpected bonus!! The sound quality exceeds the Infinity center channel speaker that was previous to the Klipsh by another level!! Thank you Best Buy!!

  42. WadeS –

    Love it, It works great! the sound quality is great.

  43. Asatruviking –

    No more need for Subtitles! Whenever my wife and I would watch a movie, or anything for that matter, she would ask for subtitles. Since we got this new Klipsch center channel she hasn’t asked once! Happy wife, Happy life!

  44. Ealbuc –

    I bought this center channel speaker because I was tired of having to adjust the volume during movies and other shows while watching tv. I was using a Polk center channel previously. Although in full disclosure the Polk center channel speaker was a at a different (lower) price point then the Klipsch. I have a Klipsch sub, and Klipsch rear surround with Polk bookshelf front channel speakers all powered by a Denon AVR-S710W. I had used the audyssey mic to setup the speaker level with the Polk and it was never consistent. I am very satisfied with the purchase. No more adjusting volume on different programs/scenes. The clarity and sensitvity of this speaker is fantatstic.

  45. Jhaugh80 –

    Amazing speakers really improved my movie viewing experience

  46. Chip –

    I have had the center speakers for about a month now and im enjoying it. The quality of the sound is great

  47. gthani –

    Powerful enough for my home theater. Really happy with the purchase.

  48. Arlocamera –

    great speaker sounds great highly recommend great purchase

  49. jsound –

    Plug and play. I like that it is passively powered and doesnt require external power. Sounds great too. I got the open box from a local store, has no visual or material defects. I paired it with two reference speakers for a 3.1 setup. Upgraded from a 5.1 sound bar setup, very happy with it so far. Voices are much clearer compared to the soundbar.

  50. JohnT –

    Works great as a center front speaker with my setup, conversations are crystal clear compared to the LG sound bar I was using before.
