## Description

Klipsch R-52C Powerful detailed Center Channel Home Speaker - Black.

Review: Excellent entry level center channel - What an amazing budget/beginner/compact center channel! If you’re thinking about getting into the very expensive world of basic to advanced home theater, this speaker is probably the best you can get that’s brand new. HOWEVER if you have large book shelf speakers or large full band speakers, those will easily drown out the clarity, dialect, and volume of the center channel, and it’s probably best to look for something on the used market that’s a couple generations old in good condition. The center channel is the main stage of your speaker/home theater setup, and 80% of the movie is coming out of that speaker. That being said, this plays movies with ease. Especially if you have a set of medium to small book shelf speakers as your L/R. Like I said if u have bigger surrounds, get a bigger center. As far as this speaker goes, it’s pretty light, connects fine, and there has been 0 distortion even driven at reference volume (powered by onkyo tx nr 838 in a 5.1.2 setup)
Review: Want accurate, concise human voices for your center channel, this does that ! - I 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Just checking on how to read dimensions of this speaker.   are dimensions of this speaker 7.6 h x 18.8 w x 7.3 d ?**
A: I just measured my cabinet, including the front cover:
7.6 deep
18.9 wide
7.3 high

**Q: Looking to replace my Polk Audio CSi30 Center. Is this a good upgrade for it or more of a side-grade?**
A: I believe it is still an upgrade, but not sure by how much.  I purchased mine to replace an onkyo center from a kit. We used to sell polk and klipsch when I worked at hhgregg and klipsch was a higher quality.

**Q: Looking to upgrade a Polk T-30 center channel, is it worth using this as an option?**
A: What do you have for front speakers. I ask because a good match to your fronts is more important than how much power you want. This center is a lower end for Klipsch but I have it matched with Klipsch bookshelves up front because the horned tweeters they have. This thing puts out a high sound so your fronts should be high sounding to.

**Q: Has anyone compared this to the R25c or RP250?**
A: The R25c has a max wattage of 120 watts compared to the R52 c being able to take about 400 watts,so must be a difference in magnets or something..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No Regrets and Correct Sounding
*by C***8 on April 12, 2026*

Natural sounding speakers; just as you’d can expect from klipsch. The center channel replaced an older center channel than stopped working. These sound correct and not too bright either. It fits in well with the other klipsch as part of a 7.2 avr system. The price seem good, do no regrets.
