If you think these are good wait until you get them upgraded by Dean Wescott AKA DeanG

Big Center for BIG ACCURATE sound!
Metal drivers with heavy duty rubber butles built to last!
Once you've gone with a horn loaded speaker, there's no turning back.

With any well built driver, break in time is looooonnngg! Although they still sound good right out of the box! Just keep in mind, if you think it sounds good brand new.... just wait!

After 18 months of demanding use, it just gets better with time... Ceramic metal drivers take quite a while to break in properly, so, i thought I would wait until I've had plenty of time to break in this C.C. Also the compression driven horn loaded tweeter takes almost as much break in time as does the mid/bass drivers. I have my RC-7 on top of my entertainment center which is about 5 1/2 ft. high, with a pair of RB-75's on stands at about 5 ft. to create as seemless of a soundstage as possible.
After about 4 months I decided to use the adjustable screws that angle the center down a bit to accomodate the 1/2 ft. difference in height with my RB-75's. The dialog from male voices are as realistic as if one was standing there speaking in real life. Female voices just sing with realism. Klipsch (with horn loaded tweeters) definately has built a strong customer base over the years, and once you've listened to a properly broken in RC-7 (and any of the Reference line), you will have a difficult time ever going back to anything else.
I have yet to find a C.C. that sounds this good anywhere, especially for the $$.
With a Denon avr-3805 these speakers are so easy to drive with their incredibly high efficiency rated at 98dbls.
I have changed speakers so many times over the last 20 years, I think its a fair thing to say I've got a bit of experience in this department.
At any rate, if you have the $$, and are in the market for a new center channel, buy one while you still can. It may be the last center you'll ever buy.

True movie theatre sound for home. Incredible 5.1 music playback. The Horn Tweeter was meant for home theatre. Try finding a center that can play LOTR 1,2,and 3 better regardless of price range.

Should cost more money. Large room application only....this isnt a weekness...honestly the louder you play the RC7 the better it sounds.

When you’re at a movie theatre you ask yourself…why doesn’t my center channel sound like this…huge soundstage, very open and transparent? Some centers sacrafice woofer size and cabinet weight for cosmetic reasons, in return you have a congested sounding speaker. This was the problem with my Energy AC 300(two 5'.25" woofers)which bottomed out during the trailer for Texas Chainsaw Massacre (check it out in the special features section). The RC-7 is something to behold. This size of this thing alone is ridiculous. It weighs more than my Energy EXL 12 sub. The sound coming from this speaker doesn’t let down its physical attributes. This center was made for movies; movies that demand power output from your center. This RC-7 will completely blow you out of a 10x10 room. Road to Perdition gunfire scenes are like no other when comparing with other center channels. Live music or DTS music sounds are true to life. I'll say it again, "it was made for this". My center is always set to Large and there isn’t any LFE it couldn’t handle yet. This center channel is unbreakable.

Great this center realy improved my home theater expereince after all movies are 70% center. I serched the land high and low and was ready to give up on improving from my s centers that even combined wernt that great the Nuaunce Spatial Baby and the Paradigm older version of the cc 370. Then I tried this beauty completely clean and crisp un mached.

Nice and heavy, very well built, and impressive looking. I love the copper colored woofers.

It's pricey, but worth every penny.

In upgrading to a Klipsch RF-7 based system, this was the first speaker I bought. The difference was immediatly noticable. Dialog is so much clearer. Unfortunatly it outshines the rest of my speakers at the moment, but not for long.

Large. Crisp.

Excellent product. Purchased this center channel to replace a Canadian made center channel. This RC-7 is much better. Very clear and concise.

This is the most powerful center channel speaker that I have listened to. It is not harsh, or too bright; In fact, I find it to be perfect for movie sound effects, and still very nice for vocal or orchestral music. For Big Band enthusiasts, the Klipsch line will add some brightness to the old recordings. If you use the RF7 main speakers, do not consider another center, this is the perfect match.

I was looking for a RC-3 II because of the price. When I went to my local Klipsch dealer and they had a great sale on the the RC-7 and the rest is history. This speaker is built great but it is big in size and weighs a lot. This is not a flaw. It is a speaker for larger rooms. The cherry wood is the only way to go. The grill and the wood gives it a classy more refined look. When I hooked it to my system I was not thrilled. The first movie I watched was Lord of the Rings. When the male actors spoke at a low volume there words got hard to understand. So I had to tweak the mids a little. After that was done this speaker came to life. It has really clear and smooth high end. The low end is tight. A total sound the is very clear and open feeling.
