- Reviewed in Canada on April 11, 2024Style: SingleVerified PurchaseI recently added the Klipsch R-52C to my home theater, and it's been an absolute joy to hear. First off, the build and design are top-notch, fitting seamlessly with my setup. This speaker's ability to clarify dialogue, even in loud action scenes, has transformed my viewing experience.
The aluminum tweeter (horn?), combined with Klipsch's unique audio technology, delivers crystal-clear audio, making every word stand out. Dual spun copper woofers ensure deep sound with minimal distortion, enriching the overall audio landscape.
Setting it up was hassle-free, and it pairs wonderfully with Klipsch subwoofer for a cohesive sound system. Its high sensitivity is a bonus!
In short, the R-52C is not just a speaker; it's a significant upgrade to any home theater. Highly recommended for its clarity, build quality, and performance. And looks!
- Reviewed in Canada on September 17, 2023Style: SingleVerified PurchaseI purchased the Klipsch tower speaker system and I was so impressed with them that I replaced the Center speaker. I am completely satisfied with them in both sound quality and in appearance and overall construction.The delivery service was prompt and the shipping boxes were totally undamaged. I am completely satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 11, 2023Style: SingleVerified PurchaseMy wife and I were having difficulty hearing the dialogue when watching TV shows and movies. I'd read plenty of good reviews for this "entry level" Klipsch R 52C centre channel speaker.
So far we're extremely pleased with the clarity of sound and also it appears to be a well made speaker.
For what I paid I'm very happy and would highly recommend it although it appears that this model will soon be discontinued.
- Reviewed in Canada on May 17, 2022Style: SingleVerified PurchaseIt's not the holy grail of perfect centre speaker clarity, but it's very good, especially for the money. It replaced a PSB Alpha C1 that was getting old, which cost twice as much new. Sound in contemporary movies is getting more and more sloppily mixed, and speech was getting quite muffled (although, oddly enough, not in several older movies.) This speaker made a difference immediately. Not perfect, by any means-- Willem Dafoe's salty-sea-dog accent in The Lighthouse is still mostly a garble, but it's much better than it was. Recommended at the price. Makes me consider spending much, much more money for a much further upmarket Klipsch.

Fantastic price,would definitely

- Reviewed in Canada on February 2, 2024Style: SingleVerified PurchaseGood price. Looks good and sounds great. What more can I say.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 20, 2023Style: SingleVerified PurchaseI bought this speaker to replace an older centre speaker for a new AV receiver that I just updated in my system. For me the speaker was well packed and was undamaged. I was very impressed with the sound. Voice audio is very clear and has an excellent sound. I thought the price was good for this good quality speaker. I will be adding more Kplipsch speakers to my system as I continue my upgrade.

Reviewed in Canada on September 6, 2024Style: SingleVerified PurchaseJ'ai enfin trouvé le Central qu'il me fallait avec mon système Denon. Quel différence ! Un son incroyable qui se marie à la perfection dans le surround. C'est le type parfait de pièce d'équipement que je cherchais depuis longtemps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incrível
Style: SingleVerified PurchasePara quem gosta de um bom som, pode comprar sem medo.
- VULCANReviewed in the United States on December 2, 2022
5.0 out of 5 stars Want accurate, concise human voices for your center channel, this does that !
Style: SingleVerified PurchaseI have two systems. A large McIntosh 9.2 system for my serious listening, movies, BluRay live concerts, etc. That system comes in at just a little under $85,000 including speakers.
*My day system is a Marantz 7705 flagship Pre-amp, paired with the Marantz 7055, 5 channel surround amp using MIT interconnects. I use just 3 channels for my day system, two Kilpsch Heresy's for main L&R and this Klipsch R-52C center channel. Speakers are wired using 256 strand, pure OFC 10 ga wire with gold plated banana plug terminations. The subwoofer in the day system is the McIntosh MT-2, dual 12" giant 100 pound passive sub, 4 Ohm, hooked to a 300W plate amp made for subs only, and made for 4 Ohm speakers/subs.
First thing one notices is this little center channel speaker is HEAVY, and clearly well constructed! For those familiar with specs, this speaker is efficient and easy for an amp to run. All Klipsch products can get loud yet remain clear - though this is far from my top priority. But, presenting an easy load to your amp to run is a win win. The Heresy's also present a very manageable load to an amp, so all 3 hooked to my day system is not a rough load to handle as most 4 Ohm speakers WILL be. Always try to match speakers impedance hooked to one surround amp. Other words, keep all of them 8 Ohm or 6 Ohm - even if different brands. FEW amps will run 4 Ohm speakers well, (cheap amps might even struggle with 6 Ohm speakers at volume) or long, so be careful when buying speakers.
This center channel provided exactly what I'd hoped as it does a good job with human voice articulation and clarity. If you feed it a quality signal, you get a quality result. I do have a spare Pioneer Elite disc player with excellent audio quality for CD's hooked to this system for casual listening while cleaning house, working on projects, and non-critical listening.
While this modest center channel is excellent for voices, movies, TV shows, non-critical sit down listening sessions - especially after fine tuning the signals reaching it via the VERY adjustable Marantz 7705 Pre, it's performance on audio while entirely listenable, fits into it's price range niche. For most if not all non-audiophiles this center channel would be a very nice addition to their system for years of enjoyment.
It does not however, have the depth, width, sound stage to hear fine details such as a performer taking a barely audible quiet breath while singing on a well recorded SACD as more expensive units might. Or present a virtual "being there" sense of space more expensive models might - and some do. That said, to step up to "being there" sound staging, depth, space, width and presence - you ARE going to HAVE to spend at least likely triple - or more .......... to attain that level of engineering and delicacy of sound that entails.
In summary, for 90% of the people reading this, for modest yet capable systems hooked to this Klipsch, you will have made an excellent purchase and enjoy it for many years. If you are younger and want LOUD rock shows, this speaker will do that, and survive to do it again, and again. Clean, precise, clear audio signals is not what generally harms a speakers components, dirty or distorted signals do.
For the NEW price of $149 (I just paid $179 a month ago), you honestly could not go wrong provided you don't think you are buying a $1,400 Dyneaudio center channel.

5.0 out of 5 stars R-52C klipsch bocina central
Style: SingleVerified PurchaseEl audio de los diálogos en las películas es mas nítido y preciso; además se requiere de menos potencia para poder empezar a escucharse, esto principalmente por su alta sensibilidad. El sonido en conjunto con las bocinas principales y las satelices se siente más completo, es decir, ya no se siente falto de sonido central como antes. Se siente muy robusta en su construcción y aun cuando el volumen pueda ser alto se conserva sin distorsión el sonido. Tal vez precise un poco de ecualización para las frecuencias altas para aquellos que son más sensibles, pero creo que para una escucha en la que puedas estar comentando con otra persona esta perfecto el sonido. La rejilla es de colocación magnética y no se mueve a volumen alto, ésta puede ser retirada para dejar ver las dos bocinas y su twitter tipo trompeta que la hace lucir elegante. En la parte posterior tiene una salida de aire que la ayuda a reproducir las frecuencias bajas. Vienen unas bases de goma para evitar que se deslice y para protección del acabado. En conclusión, el sonido en mi sistema de audio gano mucho al integrarla. Disfruto mas el audio de las películas , hay mas precisión y claridad en los diálogos tanto en las películas como en la música.
