Reference Premiere RP-404C II Ebony Center Channel Speaker

I purchased this speaker to replace an old small Bose center channel speaker I had been using for many years. I decided to replace it as it was becoming harder to understand spoken parts in many movies and current shows. I got this as it was to be placed under my TV on a shelf attached to the wall mount. It just does fit on the shelf as it is wider than my previous speaker. If you want a Klipsch center speaker to go on your wall mount shelf this is going to be your only choice from what I could find. Other speakers were much wider and would never fit, so make sure you check your measurements for your shelf and the speaker, as well as, how much weight your mount and shelf can hold. Back to the speaker, it looks beautiful and the sound quality is years ahead of my last speaker. The clarity of spoken lines is excellent and the mid-range is great. It made all my TV watching so much better and clearer. Thias is part of a5.1 surround sound system with 2 Klipsch Floor speakers as front left and right speakers and two Bose speakers in the back, left and right. I expect I will replace those two rear Bose speakers once I save up some money too. I have found I really like the sound of Klipsch speakers above all others I have listened to. I highly recommend this speaker for your home theater system.

The 404C II fits perfectly on the cabinet under my TV with no worries about rear port clearance. After initial calibration (CF@100hz) I'm hearing much clearer dialogue and small sounds in movies I didn't even know were there! Yes, the 404C II doesn't reach as far down as the 504C II, but since dialogue is the priority and bass goes to the twin 12" Klipsch subs I doubt I'm missing anything with the smaller woofers. Although a little pricey, the 404C II is worth it in my book.

Huge improvement over my smaller 2 speaker klipsch center channel speaker. Movie dialog and music vocals come in much clearer. Very happy

Great, Blended perfectly with my SVS Pinnacle Towers.

I bought this Klipsch center channel speaker because my previous one made dialogue difficult to hear. I had to crank up the volume so high that it ruined the movie experience. If you want to test your center channel's dialogue clarity, try the movie The Expendables 4. I couldn't understand a word those guys were saying, which is what led me to purchase this Klipsch. I'm happy to report that it passes The Expendables 4 test with flying colors! I can understand everything clearly, and it sounds fantastic. The best part is that this speaker delivers a huge improvement even with stock receiver settings. There's no need to spend hours tweaking things – the dialogue is simply that much clearer. The smaller depth is also a perfect fit for my setup. The sealed box design might slightly alter the sound compared to the RP-504c II, but I don't have that model for a direct comparison. Overall, this speaker is a fantastic addition to my setup, and I'm thrilled with the purchase.

Good sounding center channel speaker. I would prefer a unit with 5"+ speakers for less position sensitivity, but I needed one with low height to fit my setup. Sounds really good at low or high volume.

I saw this go on sale and I couldn't hit the buy tab quick enough!

Great upgrade from the R30 with improved movie dialogue clarity!

O pacote chegou perfeito, completo e em tempo récorde. A caixa acústica é fantástica!

Nice & clear slim channel for smaller spaces such as mantels. Lots of bass right down to 80hz, and detailed highs. There is a bit of fidelity loss at extreme angles (search detailed data) due to the horn design but generally this is a major improvement over my last centre channel. Probably the best you’re gonna get under 7” depth.

Ein absolut toller Lautsprecher! Klarer Sound, optisch ein echter Hingucker! Verwende ihn in Kombination mit 2 Wharfedale Evo 5.3 Frontlautsprecher, 2 Klipsch Rear und 4 Dolby Atmos Höhenlautsprecher. Für ordentlich Bass sorgt der Klipsch RP-1000SW. Ein echtes Hörvergnügen! Angefeuert wird das System durch einen Onkyo TX-RZ1100. Als TV ist ein LG OLED65G59LS im Einsatz. Sendungen mit UHD HDR oder Dolby Vision in Verbindung mit Dolby Atmos absoluter Hammer. Dieser Center ist jeden Cent wert!

Zeer goed toestel.

Muito satisfeito
