Review: Great Purchase! - Why did you pick this product vs others?: ​I chose this Klipsch Reference Next-Generation R-30C center speaker is because I wanted uniformity and it is part of the Klipsch Reference Series and goes perfect with my Klipsch Reference R-26FA Floor standing Speakers that ensures a tonally matched sound that is crystal clear with no distortion at any level and is frekin AMAZING! for me the center channel speaker position that is very commonly placed at the bottom of the TV didn't sound great to me so I went with mounting my Klipsch center channel above the TV as well as elevated my Klipsch tower Atmos speakers because the front firing ports on the bottom of the towers were too low to the ground for me and I also wanted to raise the upward firing Atmos channel subwoofers and the acoustics improved tenfold and encompasses my theater system experience. Now I just need a few Klipsch 2X- 400W all digital powered subwoofers to complete my ultimate Klipsch dynamic 3D, Dolby Digital Atmos DTS-X, 11.2 channel theater experience! Keep in mind I still have my 9 Harmon Kardon (that makes JBL) satellite theater speakers all powered by my Denon AVR-X6700H that will power dual subwoofers. For now I have a JBL and Harmon Kardon subwoofers that still put out great subwoofer quality sound, but to have my primary speakers all Klipsch Reference is definitely the plan. One thing I don't care for with all theater systems is that for them to be theater surround systems, the center channel sound only comes from one direction which is toward you but from no other direction, SOOOO I bridged my center channel and placed one of my Harmon Kardon center channel satellite speakers on the wall behind me and now I am entirely encompassed in center channel Digital Dolby dialog, and when I mentioned this to Denon, because I called them with a issue I was having, they said it was wrong, but that guy obviously had no sense of innovation and adaptation to expand and create a fuller theater surround system. I also bridged the center channel and have one in my bar area and way back in my kitchen so the whole house is in DTS-X 11.2 channel Digital Dolby Atmos and it is WONDERFUL!! And of course I give all the glory to God for being so blessed! 🤗
Review: High quality center channel - Compliments the Klipsch RP600M's well. The center creates a huge soundstage while providing clear vocals

## Features

- ALL NEW 90° x 90° TRACTRIX HORN: Experience the cleanest, most natural sound possible. The increased outer horn dimensions allow for directivity control over a larger bandwidth of frequencies, resulting in improved high frequency directivity and a more accurate sound stage.
- LINEAR TRAVEL SUSPENSION (LTS) ALUMINUM TWEETER WITH KAPTON SUSPENSION: LTS minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performances. Aluminum is an extremely light and rigid material used in the 1” tweeter assembly to provide high efficiency and improve resolution and detail.
- SPUN-COPPER THERMOFORMED CRYSTALLINE POLYMER: Utilizing trickle-down technology from Klipsch’s highly acclaimed Reference Premiere series, the 3.5” TCP woofers have steeper angling of the cones for a smoother response and improved accuracy and transparency.
- HEAR EVERY WORD: Tapered array crossovers improve dispersion, resulting in better midrange definition to catch every bit of dialogue.
- SLEEK, MODERN APPEARANCE: Hidden fasteners, edge-to-edge horn, and low-profile magnetic grilles give the speakers a polished, modern appearance.
- MDF CABINET WITH SCRATCH-RESISTANT, TEXTURED WOOD GRAIN VINYL: Stylish aesthetic with best-in-class durability that results in seamless integration into any décor.
- HIGH QUALITY CABINET DESIGN: Reinforced ¾” MDF construction with an all-new bracing design reduces cabinet vibration for improved sonic accuracy.
- Dimensions = 5” (H) X 26” (W) X 6.8” (D)
