I have this beauty as my center channel since a month now and I’m in love with it, coming from a RP-250C it has way more lows and the tweeter sounds a bit more clear. This is a keeper!
Just ordered this and a set of RP-8060F to replace Jamo S 83 and S 809 (with the ATMOS top speakers added). I'm expecting to be blown away. The rest of the 7.2.2 is Klipsch RP already, so it made sense to finally retire the old Jamos
Nice unboxing again. Thank you. This is a beautiful beast of a centre speaker. While I cherish getting one, it isn't ideal for a small room with clutter everywhere. It is so deep it wouldn't even fit underneath my tv stand. For now I'll keep my little q acoustics 3090ci centre speaker which is paired with q acoustics 3030i bookshelf. Maybe, God's willing in the future I'll get one.
Just got the Center Speaker this morning. I got the RP 280 FA kit along with it. 10" subwoofer for my small apartment. Don't want the neighbors complaining to the building manager. LOL
I have been using below listed set from Costco. I want to replace my center R-52C with RP-504C. Could you please confirm if this combination will work fine? Thank you in advance. 2 - R-625FA Tower Speakers 2 - R-41M Bookshelf Speakers 1 - R-52C Center Channel Speaker 1- R-12SW Subwoofer
Hey YM, I just purchased the RP-504C two days ago and it sounds great. It has better clarity than my RC-7 and pairs better with my RP-280FA towers. I am still breaking it in but so far so good. I purchased the Walnut finish to match my towers. I unboxed mine the same way. Thanks Keep the Videos coming. PM
I love how tenderly you unwrap the speaker, like UPS didn't punt it across a 75 yard warehouse 3 hours before delivering it to you 🤣🤣🤦♂️ FINALLY I HAVE DONE IT! Ordered one of these and a pair of 600m to update my front stage! I got Coryed 🤣💪
@@Youthman oh no doubt! Agreed, and, same here lol! I just find it ironic, the juxtaposition between how we baby our possessions and how warehouses/shipping companies assault our possessions lol!
Youthman thank you! Bad news though. My order got cancelled by the vendor due to item being out of stock. I bought it on impulse due to the price being too good. My question is I have R-625FA as my front channel floor standing speakers. It looks like pairing a RP Center channel may not be the best route as everywhere I’m reading says to keep the main 3 front speakers on par with the quality of sound. Would it be over kill if I buy the RP-504c for my center channel or should I keep the center channel as a reference model?
Typically I do recommend keeping them in the same series but there are plenty of people that have used a center channel from a different series with great results. If you plan on one day upgrading to the reference premier towers, then by all means get the 504C
I’m thinking this is the 504C ll since it’s 15” deep? The 504C is 11” deep. Had a moment of panic there because the 15” wouldn’t fit on my setup so I went with the 11”.
out upgrading..my budget end game...ill buy one speaker at a time..shld i go with the klipsch rp504c Alland then go all klipsch rp series or go with the svs ultra centre and then go all ultra speakers..i heard the new kilpsch rp line treble is more refined basically making sound like the svs ultra speakers..also from research the svs have a better soundstage..i do luv the massive llok of the rp504c...so which starter centre for me? Svs or klipsch
Must say, I was not a fan of the look of the new Reference Premiere Line in comparison to the previous line. However, the look of these have grown on me a lot. That thing is beautiful ! Keep up the good work Youthman! Cannot wait to see what your thoughts are on the system as whole.
Yes, I wasn’t sure if I would like the copper trim rings but it’s just enough to give it a classy look without being cheesy. I really like how they came out.
Hello Guys, I was debating the same thing before I purchased the RP-504C. I was originally looking at purchasing a RP-450CA but since it is now discontinued, the only place I can get it is Klipsch.com for 849.00. So I got the RP-504C walnut to match my towers.

It's only 12 inch but the quality is way better than the cerwin. Then I got some klipsh RP-8000F to go with the sub and love them.

So do I get the same speaker in klipsh or do I go for smaller but more woofers? I went smaller on the sub box and it's far superior, but will it be the same for the center speaker. Tough decision to make here.
I got this center because the ones that could fit were to small so I got this and I put the TV on top of it it looks solid,there was only 4 rubber feet,I got the RP 8000f I heard is a good match with this center
I bought this center channel and am wondering which stand are you using underneath the 504. My TV cabinet unfortunately isn't spacious enough to accommodate it. Great video :)
Michael, sorry to nickel dime you about these comparisons. But since you’ve used both...how would these RP 504s sound vs the SVS Ultra centers fare against each other. I’m mostly setting mines up for theater with music very secondary. I know the RC64 iii is even nicer but that may be outside my budget. Your thoughts?
Can you build this center speaker an a tv-cabinet or a double wall? Or doesn't this work witch the Bass-Reflex rear-firing Tractrix? I would run this with 1 or 2 subwoofers, so I don't know if you use the Bass-Reflex?
Is there an issue with dust getting into the horn? Should I leave the covers off? I like the look better without it, no children, dogs or cats in my household. Thanks for the video!
@@Youthman hi youthman I just bought the Klipsch RP-504C And I wanted to know will this Center Channel Speaker match up well with The Klipsch RP-600M Bookshelf Speakers as Front left and Right Channels and of Course my PL-200II Subwoofer in a 3.1 setup? Please message me back when you can Thanks!
Although the 504C was not designed specifically for the 600M, it should sound great since it’s from the same Series and will have the same signature sound.
Youth Man. I just received my 504 center channel in Piano Black. I love the look. I also have the RP 280f and they are set to large in my system, but what should I set the 504 frequency too? Thank you.
I know you said the SVS ultras were awesome and you were impressed but unless I missed It i never heard your opinion which do you prefer between klipsch or SVS?
I already have one as my center but i was thinking of buying 2 more and using them as left and right....i thought it might sound great since they have that 2.5 way crossover.....would you do it?
I want to start putting together a surround sound system with Klipsch. Can I start out with the receiver and this center speaker first? I imagine it having a little bit of bass and being a great center speaker. In time other pieces would come. Thoughts?
@@Youthman Thanks! I know, but that's also a but more heavy in price. First i thought of buying the 404C, but i am glad that i changed it. It will be combined with my new RP6000.
That’s my whole point. It’s an incredible value to performance. You have to spend a lot more for the RC64 III. I think you are going to be very pleased with the 504C
Youthman I need to advice, I need to get a center channel for my set up. I’m thinking about getting the 504c or the 600c. What’s your thoughts. Is one better than the other. Kinda stuck on this one. Any help would be great.
@@brianscott4371 curious to know which one you decided on. I couldn't find any TH-cam content on the 600 C. Perhaps Youthman can look into doing a review on the 600 C for us "Klipscheads" 😎. My understanding is that the 504 is a 2.5 way speaker system vs the 600 being a 2 way speaker.
Orin Naughton hey I went with the 504c only cuz that’s what I wanted in the beginning. I can’t say it’s amazing but it’s nice. I need to have everything set up the “ right “ way. But from what I hear you can go wrong with either the 504 or 600.
Class love the look I'm the middle of upgrading speakers, just ordered the RP-600M Bookshelf should arrive in a few days Do you think you could sit a lg oled b7 on this speaker? If not I might have to settle for the rp600c in the cabinet instead cause that beast wont fit Thanks for the info great channel
Hi James, I have seen plenty of guys place large TV’s on the RC64 Series. I would think it would be fine but you might want to call Klipsch to confirm.
i Have to wait till 3rd Week 2019... But im interested in an Review. Want to know how it sounds for your oppinion. You are someone who knows how a home cinema has to sound! Keep up the good work! You have one of the best home cinema channels out there. Only thing i noticed was some interference in your mic. :O
Off topic I ordered pair rp 280f speakers they sent me rp 8000f instead for price of 280f . they don't match my klipsch r 112sw.s or 450c finish. Should I still count this as a win lol
Wow, that’s a hard question since I feel the sub and center are the two most important aspects of a home theater. You can temporarily get by without a center as your receiver can route that info to your mains. The sub however is difficult to do without as it provides so much emotion during a movie. So my vote is a quality sub.
Hey Youthman. I've ran into a bit of a problem. I purchased a Klispch 400 watt sub, (R 120 SW) & I also have a Bic America F-12. Now, when I'm watching TV programs, & the bass kicks in, I loose sound for a second or two. I live in a Townhouse. Am I having some type of power surge? It doesn't do it while I'm watching movies from my Fire stick or DVD's. Only TV programs. What is my problem? My set up is 3.2.1.
Wow, I’ve never heard of that. I would try and troubleshoot by unplugging one sub and see if it does it. Then plug it back in and unplug the other one. It’s tedious but make one small change at a time to see if you can narrow down what is causing the problem.
Hello Mr Youthman! I currently have the 450ca and I am looking to upgrade my towers to the RF7III very soon. My question is will those Fire Breathing monsters overpower or outrun my center? Thanks for your time and God bless.
Hi Michael, I have not compared the Reference Premiere centers with my RC64 III. As far as overpowering, your AVR will adjust the trim levels so they play the same volume.
That would be an extremely subjective answer. Also a lot depends on your budget. I could recommend a JTR subwoofer but if $3000 is above your budget, my recommendation would not be of much help. Lots of great subwoofers out there (JTR, SVS, Seaton, HSU, etc) as well as great AVR's (I recommend Denon and Marantz or an AVR with Dirac).
Not sure what to think. I have been a long time fan of horn loaded speakers because they can cover such a large frequency range. This eliminates a great deal of the phase issues of multi drivers. The trend I am seeing seems to contradict this philosophy.
Hello! I love your channel, congratulations. I will buy as front and rear the rp-600m but in the future I will change the fronts for the rp-8000f For that reason I have thought to buy now the central rp-504c How do you see the front combination of the rp-600m with the giant rp-504c? Thank you!
Thank you very much for your sharing :-), i really enjoy to watching your posted . I have one question about this one. The online spec mentioned "NOMINAL IMPEDANCE 8 ohms compatible" , my question is: how does it connected inside those 5 8 ohms so it can show 8 ohms to amplifier?
You don’t have to worry about the ohms. Nominal just means average impedance. I have had speakers that were 8ohm nominal dip down to just above 2ohm during low frequencies.
Hi youthman, I have a 504c, is it strong enough to support a LG 55" C7 oled tv, because I want the centre speaker at ear level seated, and tv on top. Thanks for your great channel.
Hey Youthman, i have this center and my wifes brother decided to hit one of the speakers and put dents into the copper. Do you know of any way to get replacement parts? Or do i have to buy a whole new one? I lve sent Klipsch an email but just wondering if you knew of any other way. Thank you
Nice. I was thinking of buying a emotiva XPA-3 GEN 3. For my front stage pair klipsch rp 280 and a rp 450 center. Amp is 275 watts each channel will it pop my speakers?
You are better having too much power then not enough. If your amp doesn’t have enough power, it could introduce distortion or clipping which will ruin your speakers. I’m feeding them 200 x 2 and they sound great
Hello POTE, I have the RP-280FA's and just purchased the RP-504C two days ago. Each speaker is powered by an Emotiva XPA-100 Gen 2 Mono block amplifiers. Each amp runs at 200 watts RMS all connected to the pre-outs on a Marantz SR7010 AVR. Once you calibrate your RM with whatever AVR you will be using you should be good to go. Good Luck. PM
@@POTE0831 i got true monster one rotel 1095 (5*330w) for amping surround channels and center channel, and i sell it after taking AVC-8500h, with sound insane and better at my imho. so i sell rotel and buy additional 15" sub for my system on that money.
Hey man ! Nice video. I'm looking at having one of the 504c inset into a wall feature . Looking to have around 2-3 inches space at the back. Will the rear ported speaker cause an issue?
Does this sound the same as the rp-450c? I'm looking for a center speaker for my rp-280f fronts and wondering if this will have the same timber or if i should get the rp450c instead.
I would not know about the one in the video. After a lot of searching, I bought one from Sanus a couple of weeks ago. They have a 18" and a 22" tall model. My center is from Definitive Technology (CS-9080HD) and is pretty heavy (36 lbs). The stand is perfect for it and solid. You have the ability to tilt the speaker so it is angled towards the MLP. I would recommend it. www.sanus.com/en_US/products/speaker-stands/sfc22/
I just got the entire 7.2.4 RP system setup in the theater room on Sunday. Need to finish the Parasound HINT6 Review tonight, then the SVS Wireless maybe on Thurs or Friday so it will likely be this weekend or next week before I can bring in the RC64 III to compare.
Hey there Youthman I see you did the unboxing of the Klipsch rp-504c center channel but how does it sound is this center better than the svs center which you had a chance to hear? All I know is the rp-504c is the best in the RP lineup. But how would you stack the Klipsch rp-504c center against the SVS ultra center channel as they are both in the same price range? I have right now 2 klipsch rp-280f towers and I’m wondering if I should just get the rf64iii center as I might get 2 rf7iii down the road or if I should get the rp-504c or the svs ultra center??? No store has these on display no Best Buy in my area so I’m left to ask people who have had a chance to hear these centers in person let me know your thoughts please? I love both Klipsch and svs I just haven’t heard the center channels of these companies?
SVS Center has phenomenal dialogue but it will not sound well when paired with Klipsch Towers. Two completely different sound signatures. The RF7 III are much better than the Ultra Towers so my vote would be to get the RC64 III and work towards the RF7 III. The RP-504C sounds great but I feel the SVS Center is a better speaker.
Youthman thanks a lot for the help I am going to go ahead and get the Klipsch rc64iii I am running it on a Marantz sr6013 so 110watts per channel. Kinda weird when I run my Xbox one X the sound is great and I don’t have to turn it past volume 55 however on cable watching football I have my Marantz cranked up to volume 75? So because of this I am looking at getting a Emotiva XPA-DR3 amp all 3 channels driven at 450watts to power my front stage. Any thoughts on Emotiva amps? The DR3 looks like a powerhouse. By any chance have you heard the Klipsch rp-502s surrounds? Thinking about picking up a pair of them.
Sorry. I meant when you did this video for the 504c. It looked like it was on a stand or a table of sorts. I’m in need for one for my newly finished dedicated home theatre. Currently running just a Klipsch Quintet version IV off a Sony ZA5000es. Screaming for some upgrades.
@@Youthman I have the same center channel Speaker it is Very Nice! but I wanted to ask what do I use to get rid /Cover up a few small Nick on the Speaker? It is on the back end and the other is on the left Back top corner of the speaker not very big but wanted to know what could I do Somebody told me I could use a Mohawk Fil Stick to cover it up
Being this has quad drivers, do they have separate crossover points to achieve an even sound distribution? I have had the RC3-II (dual 6.5) for years, I'm looking at either this center or the also new RP-600C (dual 6.5) I'm also looking at the RF7III's with the RC-64...If my pocket book allows. Anyone give a comparison of 2- 6.5" vs 4-5.25" drivers, vocals especially. Cheers!
@@grahamoliver3306 If I went with the Reference premier line and not the RF-7/RC-64 route. The question is what are the main differences in sound between quad 5.25" vs two 6.5" drivers. I've only used the RC3 with two 6.5" so I have no comparison. On paper they are the same (58khz-25khz) but that is only specs. I'm looking for opinion. Thanks.
@@MykWazowski i didnt hear the double 6.5" klipsch rc, but i got RC64 after RC62 and 64 is outstanding - one of the most "reasonable" purchase and update by years. After JVC x9000 and denon avc-8500h in my best list)
I've had both the 600c and the 504c and would recommend without a doubt going with the quad driver 504c product. It digs deeper, it's almost like having a sub on. It's produced better vocal. Of course the cabinet is larger to accommodate the added drivers but trust me it is worth it. If you liked the bass/vocsls in say the jbl235c then is that on steroids. This speaker has clear mids, highs and lows.
MrYouthman I love your channel and appreciate your reviews. I am in the process of upgrading my home cinema with a space of 10ft x 30ft. Question which center speaker goes best with RP6000/RP5000 front speakers? Thanks buddy. My channel is Steve Ringeling
@@Youthman what stand are you using by chance? I just got that speaker to add to my space and yours looks nice. Also, I'm new to this and improving over time, and this will be added to 4 R-820f speakers that I already own. Do you think I will have issues with consistent audio quality in things like movies and games? Thanks! Great video
@@DeSanto127 That really wasn't a "stand." I borrowed one of our end tables from our living room. LOL That speaker should provide you with great audio for both movies and games.
This video should not be a "review", it's more of an advertisement for Klipsch since you cannot get an honest review from someone that is sponsored by the manufacturer. This guy cannot give his honest opinion since the sponsor but give him the boot.
I appreciate your thoughts Ray and you are certainly entitled to your opinion. What you might not know is have bought and owned over 50 pair of Klipsch over the past 12 years, have been a moderator in the Klipsch forum and am a part of 3 Klipsch Facebook groups. I share about products I’m excited about. Notice I have never reviewed any of Klipsch entry level speakers (like the R28F) as I don’t believe they sound that great. I am completely up front on any sponsored deal I make and only align with brands and products I would use in my own home theater. Thanks for watching, Michael
It just seems like a conflict of interest to review/advertise a product for a sponsor. A true critical analysis cannot be done if you want to remain with that sponsor. I recently purchased the RP-504C, and it performs well below my expectations. Maybe 6” or 6 1/2” mid-drivers would be better. Maybe I need more power, but expected my new Denon AV-X3600H to be enough. I plan on selling the new 504C and the Klipsch towers since they all generally sound flat. It’s most likely my fault thinking the Klipsch middle line of speakers were going to be awesome. If you want great sound it costs. The 504C is certainly better than my 55XBR TV’s speaker, but anything would be. I have my setup in a 12’ x 20’ room and that may be too large.
@@cjxa7649 I'm all for supporting American companies but how exactly are the Chinese greedy for manufacturing products? We manufacture products and ship them overseas. Does that make Americans greedy too? Food for thought. :)

I think it looks pretty sweet myself. I like the RC64 III better due to the real wood veneer

Youthman would you set speaker settings on AVR TO SMALL?
Congrats. Yes I recommend setting your speakers to small and letting your sub handle the LFE
I want this so bad but I just have nowhere to put it :( I had to go with the rp600 but even years later I still want this 504c

Hi im getting mine this week, do you recommend changing it to "LARGE" for the center channel?
I recommend setting all your speakers to small and let your subwoofer handle the lower frequencies
@@Youthman 80hrtz?
Is there an issue with dust getting into the horn? Should I leave the covers off? I like the look better without it, no children, dogs or cats in my household. Thanks for the video!
No you can leave the grills off.
@@Youthman hi youthman I just bought the Klipsch RP-504C And I wanted to know will this Center Channel Speaker match up well with The Klipsch RP-600M Bookshelf Speakers as Front left and Right Channels and of Course my PL-200II Subwoofer in a 3.1 setup? Please message me back when you can Thanks!
Although the 504C was not designed specifically for the 600M, it should sound great since it’s from the same Series and will have the same signature sound.
What's the difference between this speaker and the RP 450C? Same exact specs. Thanks
Youth Man. I just received my 504 center channel in Piano Black. I love the look. I also have the RP 280f and they are set to large in my system, but what should I set the 504 frequency too? Thank you.
Congrats! Check out this video - th-cam.com/video/6Z0svzYSAEM/w-d-xo.html
I know you said the SVS ultras were awesome and you were impressed but unless I missed It i never heard your opinion which do you prefer between klipsch or SVS?
perphas u may try procella audio v21 with twin 21 inch subwoofers in a box
What's a better channel? The RP600C or the RP404C?
hi bro ...Klipsch 504 or 404 what's the difference? I have use books RP600M, and a good combination?
I already have one as my center but i was thinking of buying 2 more and using them as left and right....i thought it might sound great since they have that 2.5 way crossover.....would you do it?
Sounds like an interesting idea!
@@jessicaembers924 I ended up doing it last year I got each one for $339 so my front stage is all rp-504c
Where is that stand from>?
I want to start putting together a surround sound system with Klipsch. Can I start out with the receiver and this center speaker first? I imagine it having a little bit of bass and being a great center speaker. In time other pieces would come. Thoughts?
I typically recommend buying receiver and mains, then center, then subs and then surrounds. But that’s just my preference
Man that is a monster of a center channel speaker, awesome! Love that driver array. Looks like a well constructed cabinet.
Just think, the RC64 III is even bigger!
Just ordered this baby! I am so excited! :-)
Awesome! I’m excited for you. It’s performed very well so far in my testing. It’s not the RC64 III but it’s a fantastic center
@@Youthman Thanks! I know, but that's also a but more heavy in price. First i thought of buying the 404C, but i am glad that i changed it. It will be combined with my new RP6000.
That’s my whole point. It’s an incredible value to performance. You have to spend a lot more for the RC64 III. I think you are going to be very pleased with the 504C
I have the 450C and I love it! I wonder how this one is compared to it besides the look. Great video as always
Thanks Geno
You should compare to the Goldenear super center XXL
Youthman I need to advice, I need to get a center channel for my set up. I’m thinking about getting the 504c or the 600c. What’s your thoughts. Is one better than the other. Kinda stuck on this one. Any help would be great.
@@brianscott4371 curious to know which one you decided on. I couldn't find any TH-cam content on the 600 C. Perhaps Youthman can look into doing a review on the 600 C for us "Klipscheads" 😎. My understanding is that the 504 is a 2.5 way speaker system vs the 600 being a 2 way speaker.
Orin Naughton hey I went with the 504c only cuz that’s what I wanted in the beginning. I can’t say it’s amazing but it’s nice. I need to have everything set up the “ right “ way. But from what I hear you can go wrong with either the 504 or 600.
I can't decide if I should do this 504c or the 64c iii
I just bought this 504C from Cory Harrison today. It will ship out tomorrow morning
Awesome! Glad Cory hooked you up.
@@Youthman thanks very much Michael. All I have to buy next paycheck is the Klipsch RP-500SA.
Class love the look
I'm the middle of upgrading speakers, just ordered the RP-600M Bookshelf should arrive in a few days
Do you think you could sit a lg oled b7 on this speaker?
If not I might have to settle for the rp600c in the cabinet instead cause that beast wont fit
Thanks for the info great channel
Hi James, I have seen plenty of guys place large TV’s on the RC64 Series. I would think it would be fine but you might want to call Klipsch to confirm.
@@Youthman Thanks for the reply,
Ya saw a few pictures on the rc64 with a tv on it, I'll contact Klipsch and see what they have to say
i Have to wait till 3rd Week 2019... But im interested in an Review. Want to know how it sounds for your oppinion. You are someone who knows how a home cinema has to sound! Keep up the good work! You have one of the best home cinema channels out there. Only thing i noticed was some interference in your mic. :O
I have 2 rp260f towers a Denon avr-x4400h and a SVS pb16 ultra. What would be the best center speaker for under $1,000 for my setup?
Off topic I ordered pair rp 280f speakers they sent me rp 8000f instead for price of 280f . they don't match my klipsch r 112sw.s or 450c finish. Should I still count this as a win lol
Great video as always. Still waiting on the DefTech reviews and comparisons down the road.
I've been upgrading speakers. Have the 450C also, so cant do this one. Trying to save and get a price drop on the Sony 900F 85''. Tall order
For both music and home theater would you recommend going for a subwoofer or a center channel first?
Wow, that’s a hard question since I feel the sub and center are the two most important aspects of a home theater.
You can temporarily get by without a center as your receiver can route that info to your mains. The sub however is difficult to do without as it provides so much emotion during a movie. So my vote is a quality sub.
What is your system currently and what center and sub are you looking at?
Hey Youthman. I've ran into a bit of a problem. I purchased a Klispch 400 watt sub, (R 120 SW) & I also have a Bic America F-12. Now, when I'm watching TV programs, & the bass kicks in, I loose sound for a second or two. I live in a Townhouse. Am I having some type of power surge? It doesn't do it while I'm watching movies from my Fire stick or DVD's. Only TV programs. What is my problem? My set up is 3.2.1.
Wow, I’ve never heard of that. I would try and troubleshoot by unplugging one sub and see if it does it. Then plug it back in and unplug the other one. It’s tedious but make one small change at a time to see if you can narrow down what is causing the problem.
Hello Mr Youthman! I currently have the 450ca and I am looking to upgrade my towers to the RF7III very soon. My question is will those Fire Breathing monsters overpower or outrun my center?
Thanks for your time and God bless.
Hi Michael, I have not compared the Reference Premiere centers with my RC64 III. As far as overpowering, your AVR will adjust the trim levels so they play the same volume.
I just order a 450C B stock got a hella of a deal on it! almost order a 504 before I for the deal
What’s a good receiver and sub-woofer to pair with the Epic CF-3s?
That would be an extremely subjective answer. Also a lot depends on your budget. I could recommend a JTR subwoofer but if $3000 is above your budget, my recommendation would not be of much help. Lots of great subwoofers out there (JTR, SVS, Seaton, HSU, etc) as well as great AVR's (I recommend Denon and Marantz or an AVR with Dirac).
Not sure what to think. I have been a long time fan of horn loaded speakers because they can cover such a large frequency range. This eliminates a great deal of the phase issues of multi drivers. The trend I am seeing seems to contradict this philosophy.
Hello! I love your channel, congratulations.
I will buy as front and rear the rp-600m but in the future I will change the fronts for the rp-8000f
For that reason I have thought to buy now the central rp-504c
How do you see the front combination of the rp-600m with the giant rp-504c?
Thank you!
what speaker stand are you using? Love the look
The funny thing is it’s not a speaker stand. I borrowed the ottoman that is in my home office
oh dang LOL. Yea I totally missed that. I appreciate the quick response brother. Stay Blessed!
Honestly a lot of people have asked about it lol
theres a comparison against the RC62 II? I really would like to know. Witch is better and why.
Not sure as it's been many years since I've heard the RC62 II and I don't have one to do direct A/B comparison with.
Thank you very much for your sharing :-), i really enjoy to watching your posted . I have one question about this one. The online spec mentioned "NOMINAL IMPEDANCE 8 ohms compatible" , my question is: how does it connected inside those 5 8 ohms so it can show 8 ohms to amplifier?
You don’t have to worry about the ohms. Nominal just means average impedance. I have had speakers that were 8ohm nominal dip down to just above 2ohm during low frequencies.
Hi youthman, I have a 504c, is it strong enough to support a LG 55" C7 oled tv, because I want the centre speaker at ear level seated, and tv on top. Thanks for your great channel.
Easily
Hey Youthman, i have this center and my wifes brother decided to hit one of the speakers and put dents into the copper. Do you know of any way to get replacement parts? Or do i have to buy a whole new one? I lve sent Klipsch an email but just wondering if you knew of any other way. Thank you
Klipsch parts carries current model parts so it shouldn’t be a problem to order a replacement driver
@@Youthman is it a fairly simple process? Have you ever done a repair like that on one before?
Nice. I was thinking of buying a emotiva XPA-3 GEN 3. For my front stage pair klipsch rp 280 and a rp 450 center. Amp is 275 watts each channel will it pop my speakers?
You are better having too much power then not enough. If your amp doesn’t have enough power, it could introduce distortion or clipping which will ruin your speakers. I’m feeding them 200 x 2 and they sound great
Hello POTE, I have the RP-280FA's and just purchased the RP-504C two days ago. Each speaker is powered by an Emotiva XPA-100 Gen 2 Mono block amplifiers. Each amp runs at 200 watts RMS all connected to the pre-outs on a Marantz SR7010 AVR.
Once you calibrate your RM with whatever AVR you will be using you should be good to go.
Good Luck.

Hey man ! Nice video. I'm looking at having one of the 504c inset into a wall feature . Looking to have around 2-3 inches space at the back. Will the rear ported speaker cause an issue?
Hi Gareth, unfortunately when you put a ported speaker inside an entertainment center or building it into a wall, it will have an impact on the sound.
@@Youthman will.it sound terrible though?
Not sure. My first center channel I had inside an entertainment center and it was ported. It sounded good, it’s just not ideal as it can get boomy.
@@Youthman ok . Thanks again.👍
Hi youthman!
I wonder if the denon avr-x1400h receiver will give it enough power in a 7.1 system or does it need a stronger receiver?
I bought it anyway and it fit perfectly. The receiver has enough power by the way😉
will be OK to use this one to match with a regular Reference R-28F ? I will appreciate your opinion.
Yes this matches well with the R-28F. It will make all the other speakers around it sound better.
Does this sound the same as the rp-450c? I'm looking for a center speaker for my rp-280f fronts and wondering if this will have the same timber or if i should get the rp450c instead.
I would think it would be fine but you might want to call Klipsch to see what they say.
Will it match with the kalipsch 650 thx ultra?
What kind of stand is it sitting on. Do you have a link for it. Thanks
I would not know about the one in the video. After a lot of searching, I bought one from Sanus a couple of weeks ago. They have a 18" and a 22" tall model. My center is from Definitive Technology (CS-9080HD) and is pretty heavy (36 lbs). The stand is perfect for it and solid. You have the ability to tilt the speaker so it is angled towards the MLP. I would recommend it. www.sanus.com/en_US/products/speaker-stands/sfc22/
Thank you so much.@@pierrerobitaille7082
This was just a temporary plant table that we use in our living room. 😀
@@Youthman lol thanks for clearing that up. Looks like it done the job.
It was only used for photos. I will use something different to review it as I will need to angle it upwards towards my ears
I recently purchased the Klipsch RP 250c. I'm loving. It was amazing with my Marantz receiver.
onkyo + klipsch = ok
perfect match
Awesome!
When will you have review video and/or comparison video for this center?
I just got the entire 7.2.4 RP system setup in the theater room on Sunday. Need to finish the Parasound HINT6 Review tonight, then the SVS Wireless maybe on Thurs or Friday so it will likely be this weekend or next week before I can bring in the RC64 III to compare.
I have watched some reviews from you about some klipsch speakers.
And i bouth some myself. Including the rp504c
Glad the videos were helpful
Hey there Youthman I see you did the unboxing of the Klipsch rp-504c center channel but how does it sound is this center better than the svs center which you had a chance to hear? All I know is the rp-504c is the best in the RP lineup. But how would you stack the Klipsch rp-504c center against the SVS ultra center channel as they are both in the same price range? I have right now 2 klipsch rp-280f towers and I’m wondering if I should just get the rf64iii center as I might get 2 rf7iii down the road or if I should get the rp-504c or the svs ultra center??? No store has these on display no Best Buy in my area so I’m left to ask people who have had a chance to hear these centers in person let me know your thoughts please? I love both Klipsch and svs I just haven’t heard the center channels of these companies?
SVS Center has phenomenal dialogue but it will not sound well when paired with Klipsch Towers. Two completely different sound signatures.
The RF7 III are much better than the Ultra Towers so my vote would be to get the RC64 III and work towards the RF7 III.
The RP-504C sounds great but I feel the SVS Center is a better speaker.
Youthman thanks a lot for the help I am going to go ahead and get the Klipsch rc64iii I am running it on a Marantz sr6013 so 110watts per channel. Kinda weird when I run my Xbox one X the sound is great and I don’t have to turn it past volume 55 however on cable watching football I have my Marantz cranked up to volume 75? So because of this I am looking at getting a Emotiva XPA-DR3 amp all 3 channels driven at 450watts to power my front stage. Any thoughts on Emotiva amps? The DR3 looks like a powerhouse. By any chance have you heard the Klipsch rp-502s surrounds? Thinking about picking up a pair of them.
How do they compare to the RC64 center channel? Wondering if the extra 400 is worth it for the RC?
A lot of people are wondering the same thing, including myself. Haven’t hooked it up yet to compare...but it’s coming
@@Youthman, are you ever going to review the 504C ?

Are these run full range or crossed over at 60/80?

What do you use for the center speaker stand? I am in need of one before I order a 504c.
I have a Klipsch LaScala as my Center. It’s a floorstanding speaker so it doesn’t need a stand
Here is a tour of my room - th-cam.com/video/9rQxNd1Lf38/w-d-xo.html
Sorry. I meant when you did this video for the 504c. It looked like it was on a stand or a table of sorts. I’m in need for one for my newly finished dedicated home theatre.
Currently running just a Klipsch Quintet version IV off a Sony ZA5000es. Screaming for some upgrades.

Yes it should work well with the RP-260F as it is from the same series.
damn its like 800 now wish it went on sale
Unfortunately prices are rising across the board across most brands
Being this has quad drivers, do they have separate crossover points to achieve an even sound distribution? I have had the RC3-II (dual 6.5) for years, I'm looking at either this center or the also new RP-600C (dual 6.5) I'm also looking at the RF7III's with the RC-64...If my pocket book allows. Anyone give a comparison of 2- 6.5" vs 4-5.25" drivers, vocals especially. Cheers!
Got my awnser looking at the spec sheet "CROSSOVER FREQUENCY 500Hz/1500Hz" Still would love some opinion on 2-6.5" vs. 4-5.25"
Myk Wazowski so you would go the 600c or the 504c?
@@grahamoliver3306 If I went with the Reference premier line and not the RF-7/RC-64 route. The question is what are the main differences in sound between quad 5.25" vs two 6.5" drivers. I've only used the RC3 with two 6.5" so I have no comparison. On paper they are the same (58khz-25khz) but that is only specs. I'm looking for opinion. Thanks.
@@MykWazowski i didnt hear the double 6.5" klipsch rc, but i got RC64 after RC62 and 64 is outstanding - one of the most "reasonable" purchase and update by years. After JVC x9000 and denon avc-8500h in my best list)
I've had both the 600c and the 504c and would recommend without a doubt going with the quad driver 504c product. It digs deeper, it's almost like having a sub on. It's produced better vocal. Of course the cabinet is larger to accommodate the added drivers but trust me it is worth it. If you liked the bass/vocsls in say the jbl235c then is that on steroids. This speaker has clear mids, highs and lows.

This video should not be a "review", it's more of an advertisement for Klipsch since you cannot get an honest review from someone that is sponsored by the manufacturer. This guy cannot give his honest opinion since the sponsor but give him the boot.
I appreciate your thoughts Ray and you are certainly entitled to your opinion.
What you might not know is have bought and owned over 50 pair of Klipsch over the past 12 years, have been a moderator in the Klipsch forum and am a part of 3 Klipsch Facebook groups. I share about products I’m excited about. Notice I have never reviewed any of Klipsch entry level speakers (like the R28F) as I don’t believe they sound that great.
I am completely up front on any sponsored deal I make and only align with brands and products I would use in my own home theater.
Thanks for watching,
Michael
BTW, that video was just an unboxing / overview. This is the review - th-cam.com/video/BmTVu-9my9Q/w-d-xo.html
It just seems like a conflict of interest to review/advertise a product for a sponsor. A true critical analysis cannot be done if you want to remain with that sponsor. I recently purchased the RP-504C, and it performs well below my expectations. Maybe 6” or 6 1/2” mid-drivers would be better. Maybe I need more power, but expected my new Denon AV-X3600H to be enough. I plan on selling the new 504C and the Klipsch towers since they all generally sound flat. It’s most likely my fault thinking the Klipsch middle line of speakers were going to be awesome. If you want great sound it costs. The 504C is certainly better than my 55XBR TV’s speaker, but anything would be. I have my setup in a 12’ x 20’ room and that may be too large.
