Best center channel speaker I've owned.
The Polk center channel speaker i had doesn't compare to this R-34C.
Doesn't matter what you're listening to, this speaker will reproduce any sound crystal clear.
Built quality is excellent!
Got it on sale for $299!! Worth every dollar!!

This center speaker replaced a small and old Yamaha one. I had a set of JBL towers and we were having trouble hearing the dialog on movies. I thought I had a bad amplifier or just my hearing. My daughter mentioned that she also had a hard time with the dialog. After some investigation I noted that the towers were driving well but very weak center volume even when adjusting the center up 6 dB. So I needed a better center speaker. I didn't want to spend what I ended up paying for this center but I am glad I got it. What a difference to my sound system, crisp and clear dialog. It keeps up with the towers but doesn't overwhelm the 3D sound. It fits nicely on the media center.

Bought this speakers set up. For surround sound and it’s unbelievable power and they look amazing little heavy but definitely worth the money. Anyone who runs surround sound system to listen music and watch movies should get this, won’t be disappointed.

Pretty good sound out of this center channel. It looks good and matches the rest of my Klipsch speakers. More importantly it is wall mountable and has a low profile allowing me to mount it on my fireplace under the TV. Unfortunately there are very few options when it comes to wall mountable center channels, but this one worked out great for what I wanted. It lacks a little in the lower ranges due to the front ports and small drivers but overall I'm happy with it.

The biggest reason I selected this center speaker was the size. I had a 6 inch (height) space to fit it and this was one of the few I could find that would work and was perfect at 5.5".
That said, I didn't sacrifice anything when it comes to the sound. Crystal clear dialogue and great overall sound for our space. It's a exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Klipsch.

I switched from the Klipsch R-52C to this R-34C and the difference can be instantly heard. The vocals are more crisp, clear and louder. This is not a knock against the R-52C because I still love it as well. In fact, I’m moving it to my bedroom along with my original towers, that I replaced with the Dolby Atmos R-625FA. You can’t go wrong with Klipsch.

I had an older center speaker in place that started to rattle on any deep vocal, etc. Installed the R-34C and wow, did not realize what I had been missing for so many years! Vocals and other center bound sound has been taken to an all new level of superiority. This is just one hell of a speaker!

The price is a bit hard to swallow especially when you can buy the dual 5.25” center for less. However this one fits under my TV. That is the biggest selling point of this center. I was worried the small speaker size wouldn’t sound good but after calibration on my denon x4700h it sounds good and matches well with my r610f fronts.

So I bought a et of Klipsch tower speakers and Atmos units with a subwoofer. Missed the center channel and got me this locally. The sound coming out is clear, clean and with authority. I would've preferred the bigger one due o my listening room size, but once the speaker was "seasoned" and tune in, "viola ", it made itself known within the front stage.

I purchased the R -34C to replace my Klipsch R-25c. A few places on the websites like to compare two. There's no comparing the two. The dialogue is clean and clear with the 34c. You won't have an issue watching movies and hearing people talk.

One of the best center channel speakers i have ever invested in. Sound quality is crisp, and clear. Slighty large for sitting on top of my entertainment center but is expected for great sound.(remote for size reference)

This speaker is a fantastic center channel. Great for vocals and filling in the gaps with my bookshelf Klipsch speakers. It is no where as big as other center channel speakers with 4 drivers.

I originally went with a Polk audio center channel speaker. Sounded great at lower volume levels but sounded stressed at higher volumes.
I upgraded to this Klipsch center channel speaker and I have been totally satisfied.
Meets all expectations at all sounds levels

I needed a more compact center speaker to fit into a newly purchased wall unit. This replaced a Klipsch icon KC Center speaker. Excellent sound and great addition to my surround sound set-up

I’m so happy I got this center channel. It’s such a pure sound coming from what I think is the most important channel in a surround sound system.

This is the year that I decided to replace all of the speakers in my surround sound system since most of them were around 20 years old. I decided to go all Klipsch since I've heard many good things about them and some of the best earbuds that I've ever owned were Klipsch. Man what a huge difference this center channel made in my system!! The clarity of this speaker and the low profile that it has are a perfect fit for my system. If you're looking for some great speakers then Klipsch is the way to go!!
