Need center channel Advice. - Blu-ray Forum

nathan28 · 02-21-2009, 12:21 AM

Im looking for a new center channel, i currently own an infinity cc2 which has been great but im looking to upgrade. My fronts are Klipsch F3's. I already looked for the matching klipsch c-3's, but they are no longer available. The Klipsch c-2 is available, but im not sure if that would be a good upgrade for me. I was also looking at the reference series klipsch's, the rc-52 or rc-62.

Would the Rc-52 be ok, or would it be worth the money going to the rc-62.
any help would greatly be appreciated.

You could go with the C2 center but i would go the next model up, this way if you do upgrade down the road your ready.

Need help? I have it narrowed down between two models of center channel:
Klipsch rc-52 or rc-62.

My mains are Klipsch f3's, surrounds are klipsch f1's, surround backs s2's.

any help?

Nathan. I would go with the rc-62. You have a little bigger cone which will allow for a bolder sound. They'll hit hard and clear. I think you might find the 52's lacking in sound size. I can't really explain it. But I had the CS1 polk center...it was good and clear, but it just sounded small to me. Jump up to the CS2...bigger bolder sound. Plus if you ever feel the need to upgrade...you'll already have a nice center.
