Perfect Center for mid priced system
Bought this to round out system built into living area of house purchased 25x25 area 10 to 13 foot ceilings. 4 Klipsch in walls so went with a Klipsch center that had a little higher RMS(125) than what was already there. This center rocks. I am powering it with Onkyo 876. Most sound from movies comes from center - it works extremely well. You still need a sub for the really low bone shaking (purchased Infinity PS212 $345 to door). Im not an expert - I am extremely frugal (ie cheap). Did a lot of research/testing (thats an understatement) at Fry's, Best Buy and Circuit City. Of course only buy from Amazon no tax and free shipping $329 to my door. In my opinion RC-52 is best bang for buck in Klipsch center you can get. I can only imagine what the RC-64 is like, but that would be overpowering other speakers and its $999. If you have 90 to 120 watts per channel this will definitely work. The 140 of the 876 is a little much for this speaker, but its a little much for every speaker I have. Its so loud now it will run you out of the room and vibrate stuff off of shelves.

How can you go wrong
This is a high end product and well just preforms extramly well. What else can one say.

my first center
The center from Klipsch goes well in mids and highs. For lows I would still go for a woofer though the 5.25" isn't bad. The big reason to get a center like this is that 60% of what you hear on a tv (the voices) come from a speaker like this (or your bookshelf speakers). This takes away from the strain on the other speakers. Really putting multiple nice speakers together makes it loud all over. I can also see though that not matching a center with the other fronts could be a problem. Overall this speaker lives up to the brand and actually give a lot of oompf to the front of a system.
