KlipschRC-62 II Center Speaker Black - Each

I have also bought the RF-62 II (floor standing speakers) that match this one, the first thing I noticed was everything sounded natural. I have owned Klipsch for over 10-11 years and felt it was time to upgrade. The other thing I noticed was extreme clarity with natural sound. I was surprised since I had some doubts they could improve on my Reference Center 3. Beyond clarity, the highs seem more balanced with everything blending in perfectly with the rest of the sound.Now, keep in mind my old Klipsch set everyone praised it till no end. When I upgraded everyone (father, friends and neighbors) noticed the sound was natural and not overly expressive. What I mean by overly expressive is "bright sound", this is not a negative since Klipsch speakers are designed to be efficient. But the Reference 62 II lines seem to have been fine tuned and the sound outputs its tone more natural and pleasing to the ears while being dynamic. It truly is an upgrade.For those of you unfamiliar with klipsch, don't be afraid, they have been around for 65 years and dominate the Mars amphitheater market and movie cinemas. I am 29 years old, and ran into the reference line when they first came out in 1999 (15 years old) and was blown away. I did not make the purchase till 2002 and have been a fan of Klipsch since than. My side hobby is audio and have worked the audio video field threw college and I have Klipsch to thank for catching my interest. it surprises me many are hooked on Sony speakers or speakers they sell in regular stores like Bestbuy, Walmart etc etc (excluding Magnolia high fi). The Reference line is NOT the one in your local Bestbuy. Those are the Synergy line.Every other speaker sounds like pillows are blocking the sound. lol. I have had friends say that same line to me a few times. The sound is very different from other speakers. The best way to describe it is concert or open field type of sound. I even thought about switching speaker manufacturer. After spending a month listing to other brands. -None- came close. The clarity of the Klipsch speaker design is enough to make you stay.The upgrades like the magnetic grills are a plus. You no longer have to worry about the plastic stubs breaking off or them sticking. Everything looks more uniformed as in constant; unvarying; undeviating. I also like the speaker design. The copper color on the speaker and design make them stand out instantly with a modern look that is not overly visual. Just enough to catch everyones attention. They look beautiful with grills on or off. Even minor touches like Klipsch logo on top of the grill and etched Reference line at the bottom of the grill are well done.Note: I am running a high end amplifier with all matching Reference 62 II lines (soon getting my matching back speakers). I have manually calibrated my system, but have everything set to reference level and occasionally pump up the level of my front and center to +3. (reference level is 0. the starting point). You can tell a good speaker when you don't have to alter anything like equalizer or increase speaker levels. Those of you using Audyssey or any type of microphone for calibration you may want to experiment manual calibration since the mics sometimes are inaccurate, or may calibrate your speakers to low or to high. This may be why some reviewers get low volume sound or to loud.You have to take into consideration that your amplifier, setup, speaker position etc all play a key role in everything.Edit: Uploaded images. Mine are the ones that have a white wall with Plasma TV hanging on it as well as my Front Reference 62 II line..

I bought the RC-62 II to replace the JBL Studio 520C, which I had gotten to begin the replacement process of my Klipsch Quintet IV speakers. Initially, the JBL Studio 520C was impressive, but then I bought more speakers, and then more, and then...Okay, I've got a problem!...you get the point! Here's how it played out... After buying the 520C, I bought a pair of Klipsch R-41M for the front channels, and then I bought a pair of Klipsch RB-61 II to use as front channels and moved the R-41M to the rear. However, with the addition of the big boys in front, it made it more difficult for the 520C's 4" woofers to keep up with the RB-61 II's 6.5" woofers. I found myself adjusting the levels of the center quite often, not to mention, it also stuck out like a sore thumb amongst all the Klipsch speakers surrounding it. So, I looked into at some alternative centers and found out that there was matching center for my RB-61 II. Before purchasing the RC-62 II, I returned the JBL 520C (bought it during JBL's black Friday sale/had a long return window due to COVID/Holiday shipping delays - Lucky me!), got my refund, then I grabbed the RC-62 II. Needless to say, I've thoroughly enjoyed having the big boy center in my system. After buying the RC-62 II, I also purchased a pair of RP-140SA via Adorama's website (it was an open box special for $140) to finish my 5.1.2 Atmos setup. I'm using an Onkyo TX-NR686 4K A/V receiver. I've included photos (hopefully in order) of this whole process, although, I left out the one JBL 520C with the Klispch Quintet IV satellite speakers. The satellites are pretty small and would have been hard to see anyway.Pros: Great value for the money, Robust and detailed sound, highly efficientCons: Heavy and bulky (make sure you have a space big enough to accommodate its large size and weight)I had to remove my TV and the top glass from the stand just to put it on the second shelf. Considering getting a new stand at some point for better looks and ease of access, preferably one with a TV mount and wire management.PS ~ Ready Player One (HBOMax) sounds amazing on my system. I've probably watched the race scene 10 times in the last month or so. It's the best sounding movie (with Atmos) that I've seen so far. Other notable movies with good sound - Terminator: Dark Fate (Amazon version sounds great/Hulu version is terrible), Mad Max: Fury Road, Star Trek: Beyond.

We had been running a VSX LX-105 as a 5.2.2 setup with a set of Andrew Jones Atmos speakers. Klipsch came out with updated speakers at an updated price and I found the previous year’s speakers on sale all over Amazon. We added a few at a time and after getting the first ones and being impressed with the quality and sound, we eventually got enough Klipsch Reference series to fit out our new LX-505 7.2.2 setup. We got two R-120SW subwoofers, a pair of RB-61 II fronts, a pair of R-40SA Atmos, a RC-62 II center and RIC-65 ceiling surrounds. All of them are heavy, quality speakers putting out impressive highs, mids and lows. Used the Dirac Live sound setup that came with the LX-505 and the resulting sound stage is perfect. Could not fault this setup in any way. Sooo glad we upgraded to the 505, Dirac and Klipsch.
