it is THE most important speaker for watching TV/movies. 95% of your dialog comes through the center channel. if there's one speaker you don't go cheap on, it's center.
Thanks OP, in for one, repped. This now completes the Cherry Klipsch Reference Premiere 5.0 setup.

The Klipsch RP Cherry Combo (The Color That No One Wants - All Newegg ShellShocker or promo prices):

Klipsch RP-250C (this deal) Center Channel Speaker $149
Klipsch RP-160M Monitor Speakers (pair) $249
Klipsch RP-260F Floorstanding Speaker (each) $249 x 2 = $498
With all the ShellShocker deals from Newegg lately, this price and the others above beat the RP bundle / combo posted by sr71 on 1/11/2022, total difference between the bundle and individual deals: $1026 minus $896 = $130.

Anyone know if I set this as a medium size speaker on my Denon s760h? Will that make a difference vs leaving it as small?

Nice to hear the same pieces of advice. So if I do get 2 to start with would these be a very noticeable experience vs getting a soundbar w/ subwoofer combo like a Samsung?

Soundbars are a function of convenience, not quality. I don't think you should judge these like that. You need to decide how rich/full you want your audio experience to be vs. cost and convenience. A soundbar with sub may actually sound better to your ears than these without a sub, but a soundbar is typically a dead end for expansion. And also factor in the cost of the receiver vs. the soundbar that works without one.

Bottom line, if you are even talking soundbar, you may not be ready for these yet.

I'm trying to decide if it's worth replacing my RC62ii with the RP250c. I'm sure I could recover the $150 selling the RC62. hmmmmm
Thats going to be a step down RC 62II one of the best centers out there. Your upgrade should be RC 64

Home theater noob here. I was eyeing those JBL 570s as my first speaker pieces and then a subwoofer. Is a center speaker really necessary if I am starting out? Still need to find a receiver too.

If you're starting out then I say Nope. You don't "need" a center channel when you're starting out.

1st priority is to get an AVR Home Theater receiver...and if budget permits...one that can do 5.1.4 Atmos (5.1 Dolby/DTS) with 4 Atmos object based speakers.

All you have to do is to set your center to phantom, toe in your JBL 570's so that your stereo image will mimick having a discrete center channel.

3rd, you don't even "need" a sub because you're just starting out. Once you've had a taste of subsonic goodness you'll definitely "want" a sub.

Don't be discouraged by the naysayers. We all don't have 10-20 grand laying around...

P.S. Do it right the 1st time and avoid any/all Soundbars. They don't have the capability to reproduce sound the way you need to for a proper Home Theater environment. Don't do it. Soundbars are for:

(1) People who are sonically deficient
(2) People who don't care about sound
(3) Settled for a soundbar because the wife said NO.

Nevermind. Found the answer on Denon website. These are still small since only they are only capable of high and mid frequencies.

Would this go well with the JBL 530's that were on sell earlier? Or would it best advised to wait for something JBL to pair them with?

When I was testing out various floor standing speakers (including both JBL and Klipsch), I was running with a Klipsch center and I can say that those two brands mesh well together.

A fine center channel. I have one and recently upgraded to the RP-450C, and truth be told, I can't tell much difference, especially with a subwoofer.

Quote from Dicka24 :
It's the most important speaker in a HT set up. If able, take a look at some 3-way centers. They are bigger and can cost a bit more. If budget, size constraints, or need makes a 3-way not possible then make sure you do your research on the different centers that go in and out of sale.

I've personally been waiting on the Infinity RC263 to come back into stock and go on sale but it's been over a year since that last happened.
Any recommendations for a 3-way center?

Would this qualify? https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=34189

Also, in a 5.1 HT set up, do you still need 2 front speakers R/L if you have a 3 way center? TIA
