The Klipsch RP-504C II is a massive center channel that stands out for clear, strong vocals and a more neutral RP-series sound than older bright Klipsch lines. It is described as a beast that can anchor a home theater well, and the matching timbre makes it easier to blend with the rest of a Klipsch setup. The main caution is size, since it needs careful measuring and can force a lower TV placement. At $450, the price feels high to some, especially versus past sales around $300 to $400.
Home theater owners who need clear dialogue, because this center channel is reported to sound very good for vocals.
Listeners who want a center with a broad, less harsh sound, because the RP series is described as more neutral and less bright than older Klipsch lines.
$450 is a solid buy if you need the center now, but it has sold lower before, including around $420 on Amazon and about $300-$400 in prior sales. Several comments suggest waiting if you want the best possible price, especially for a Black Friday-style drop.
Yes, it is repeatedly described as very strong for clear vocals and dialogue. The RP series is also described as more neutral than older Klipsch R models, with a wide-appealing sound signature rather than the harsh treble associated with cheaper Klipsch lines.
If you are price-sensitive, waiting can pay off because past lows were around $300 and some expect another $50 drop around Black Friday. If you need the center now, $450 is still considered acceptable by buyers who value getting it from a reseller like Adorama.
Yes, it is very large and heavy for a center channel. Measure carefully before buying, because it can be hard to fit through a front door and may require a low TV placement to avoid crowding the setup.
Yes, it has been seen as a $400 "Used - Like New" option on Amazon with free returns. That can save another $50 versus the $450 new price while keeping the purchase low risk.
Yes I purchased last year @ $299.99 If I'm not mistaken, it was only for the walnut color (which I got). This thing is a beast and @ $300, cannot be beat! At $450, I'd consider waiting
I was able to get Ebony color for $300 too last Feb but yeah they were rotating the sale price for each color for the whole month of Feb if I remember because I was needing Ebony. One week walnut was on sale then the next week Ebony. These speakers definitely help with amplifying and providing clarity of the voices. Adorama also had RP-600M 2 speakers on sale for $300 and the onkyo tx-sr3100 receiver for $200 around the same time as well. Purchased all of this and have a great budget home theater system. It was a nice housewarming gift for myself. Just need a sub now and looking into RSL.
I'm looking for a good center channel and currently leaning towards the SVS ultra. Does anyone have an opinion to share? If this drops down to $300, it seems possibly worth it but 2.5 vs 3 way and the size difference is wild.

Well two very different sounds.With many unknowns this would be easier to drive & less expensive.Whether the Ultra performance is worth the extra cost is personal choice.Imo the Ultra is a very good center, the whole Revolution series is very impressive ime.

Best thing about SVS is the free return shipping, and the Prime center when on sale for $300-400 isn't bad. The Ultra center is ok but at its $800 price point you can do better, e.g. KEF Q6.
Right now the best center bargain is the 3-way Emotiva XC1 at $229.
But of course the SVS salesman will always talk down all non SVS products, ROTFL

I had this center and it's VERY good. Despite mixed opinions on Klipsch sound signature and personal preferences...they undoubtedly sound good for clear vocals.
This is a great price for someone who needs a center, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it $50 lower Black Friday for those who can wait.
Klipsch RP is relatively neutral and not so polarizing unlike the Klipsch R series which are the series with the harsh aggressive treble.
Thank you both for the input! Why would anyone purchase this Klipsch over the Emotiva center? Seems like a no brainer to go XC1 over this...
The usual reasons:
If WAF precludes a simple black box.
If they have been brainwashed by the "brand matching equals timbre matching equals life or death importance" audiophool dogma.
If they have been brainwashed by the standard salesman's "you always get what you pay for" lie and assume that products that are overpriced are automatically "better"
