Editorial Reviews

Product Description: Part of the new Reference 10 family, the RC-10 center channel adds a new value point to Klipsch's best-selling Reference Series line by offering the same advanced technology and world-class materials as the Reference III center channels but from a smaller enclosure and at a lower price point. The RC-10 employs dual 4-inch woofers and a 1-inch titanium-dome compression driver loaded with a 4-inch square Tractrix(R) Horn for maximum clarity and efficiency. This center channel also utilizes Klipsch's Tapered-Array(TM) Technology, a 2.5-way design that minimizes the acoustical interference between drivers that plagues most horizontal center-channel speakers. This technology allows both woofers to create intense bass, while only one works with the tweeter to produce the midrange. The result is a smooth, clear sound not just directly in front of the speaker, but off to the sides as well, where conventional center speakers often exaggerate or mask sounds. The woofers on the RC-10 still feature Klipsch's distinctive, copper-colored Cerametallic(TM) material. Made with an anodized aluminum, these cones are strong and dent resistant. The anodizing process converts their inner and outer surfaces to ceramic. The outcome is a rigid cone with superb damping characteristics that will not flex or resonate at frequencies within the woofer's operating range. As in all Reference Series speakers, the RC-10 crossover network is constructed using extremely high-quality components including top-of-the-line internal wiring, polyester film-type capacitors and an air-core inductor to ensure signal purity and proper driver integration. Because the design requirements of a center channel are quite challenging, it is difficult to make a modestly sized, horizontally oriented loudspeaker that performs exceptionally. Despite its compact enclosure, the RC-10 easily carries on the Reference Series' high-performance legacy.

Amazon.com Product Description: Offering the same advanced technology and world-class materials as Klipsch's Reference III center channels, but featuring a smaller enclosure and more affordable price, the RC-10 center channel speaker is a great choice for any high-performance home theater system. It employs dual 4-inch woofers and a 1-inch titanium-dome compression driver loaded with a 4-inch square Tractrix horn for maximum clarity and efficiency. The woofers are made from Klipsch's distinctive, copper-colored Cerametallic material, a strong, dent-resistant anodized aluminum that provides superb damping characteristics that will not flex or resonate at frequencies within the woofer's operating range.

It features Klipsch's version of 2.5-way crossover technology, called tapered-array. With tapered-array, the two Cerametallic woofers work together to deliver high impact bass with one driver transitioning out at the mid-range frequencies. This provides more consistent coverage across the listening field, less tonal error and improved dialogue intelligibility.

The crossover network is constructed using extremely high-quality components including top-of-the-line internal wiring, polyester film-type capacitors and an air-core inductor to ensure signal purity and proper driver integration. It has a low-diffraction sculpted baffle and a magnetically attached grille for an elegant fit and finish.

Best small center channel speaker!

by T. Kraus 2009-01-27, 9 people found this review helpful
I have a very substantial home theatre system, but have limited space available for the center channel speaker (only 6''high,17' wide). I was able to audition a Boston Accoustics center,a Definitive Technology pro1000, a Klipsch Icon xl-12 and the Klipsch RC-10 IN MY OWN LIVING ROOM! The Boston couldn't handle the power,the Def Tech was good but didn't have the high frequency detail,the Xl-12 was clean but lacked warmth and bass. The Klipsch RC-10 had it all;power handling,good bass and warmth and high frequency detail.It sounded the best of the four and was the most efficient. It's rare to be able to compare that many speakers at once,let alone in your own house, so I thought it would be helpfull to share. Bottom line-if you're limited on space for your center channel speaker, this is the one to buy. Oh yeah,it didn't hurt that I got it from J&R Music for $149.99 no tax, free shipping!
