Home theater

I replaced the Klipsch RP 404c with the RP 504c. I got this on 6/3/23 after having the 404 for about a year and a half. I enjoyed the 404 but now I wanted something a little different. After looking for a center channel that would be able to fit on my stand I seen that the 504 was on sale, almost half priced and could fit I decided to go for it. After having it a little over a month now it's time for a review. IMO I can't tell a difference. That's not to say that it's not good, what I am saying is I think that both center speakers are good. I have the RP 8000f for my l/r speaker's, RP 502s for my surrounds speakers, RP 500sa for Dolby Atmos and a svs pb 3000 for my subwoofer which is all part of my home theater system and the RP 504 center channel makes it all come together nicely. I know that Klipsch has the next generation RP line, but,if you can get any of the out going generation on sale, you should get them.

Edit 4/30...One thing I have noticed and did not mention, is the massive width of this speaker really helps for anyone not sitting centered in the sweet spot. The RP500 C I had before was actually very good when right in the sweet spot, but off axis to either side it quickly got worse. Of course sitting in the sweet spot of this 504C is the best but it's still very good to either side. Although I did not try the 600C, this is why I think this 504C is easily better than that one as well. There also may be some break in happening since it keeps sounding a bit better each day since I've gotten this. The Walnut still on sale for under 400 is a steal, I'd highly recommend getting this before it's no longer available or if the price goes up (the 504C ii is over twice as much at 800).Amazing speaker! Surprised how the Ebony version is $250 higher, I'm glad I like Walnut better. It matches my RP8000F towers (also walnut) & the sound blends in perfectly. The only negative thing about this is also why it's so great - it is HUGE. So very tough to fit in a shelf/entertainment center. I actually had gotten the RP500C before this, because it was the largest RP center that would fit in the shelf I had for it. I had my TV on top of the shelf. The option of putting the TV on top of this speaker came to me after having the 500C almost a month, so barely in the return window. Klipsch told me this was OK, I called their support not sure if this would be safe. They said they have gotten this same question from many other customers, and their Engineering dept looked into it & advised anything under 75 lbs can sit on top. I added furniture feet glider pads under the speaker's corners, and also put some of these under the TV stand. I also found out there are other Klipsch owners doing the same thing with no issues. If this is something you'd consider just be sure it isn't larger than the stand it sits on top of. Mine isn't that large and is barely bigger than this speaker.Dialogue is better with the 4 woofers & tweeter horn. Klipsch actually had this as a 2.5 way speaker with two different crossovers, one for the outer 2 woofers and one for the inner two. This helps improve the overall sound, not just the dialogue.In addition to the RP8000F towers, my system includes RP 500M rears, RP 500SA Atmos, & an SVS SB3000 sub. My Yamaha Aventage A28 is powering this center along with the rear & Atmos surrounds. Outlaw 2220 monoblock amps are powering the RP8000Fs. If my AVR had more than 2 preouts, I would have added one more Outlaw for this RP504C. But it sounds great as is, with the towers not being powered by my AVR it has more watts to go around. I also cross the 504C over to my SVS sub at 80 hz. Low bass is the biggest watt eater so the Yamaha sounds perfectly sufficient. This speaker along with Klipsch speakers in general is also very efficient with sensitivity in the 90s, helping make it easier to drive. I have heard numerous times the Klipsch sensitivity numbers are 6 db inflated. They measure in room vs anechoic, which is how every other speaker manufacturer measures that. So this being listed at 96 db is really about 90. Still very efficient, as 90 or above is considered good.I highly recommend this speaker for your center channel. Even if you don't have the Reference Premier series, if it's a Klipsch speaker this could still work well in your mix. The center channel & subwoofer are the 2 most important speakers for home theater - the others are primarily ambient background effects. So my suggestion is don't skimp on the center channel - in the Klipsch RP series this is the biggest & best.Only negative is it took two shipments for this. The 1st had a massive gash in the front. Fortunately the 2nd one was perfect.

Remplacement de mon enceinte centrale triangle par la klipsch.J’étais content de mon installation mais là elle a tout changé.Excellent je recommande.

Muy contenta ,lo recomiendo

I had rp-250c and I wanted more power. 504 is exactly that. Very strong and accurate. I fully recommended.
