OVERVIEWThe Klipsch 30C is a great sounding center channel that also looks great. Given proper calibration and EQ tweaking, it has the ability to glue your entire home theater system together whether you primarily listen to music or watch movies.DESIGNThe 30C, like the rest of Klipsch's refreshed Reference line has a classy, understated look. It has a black wood grained vinyl finish that fits in well with nearly any home theater aesthetic. With the grille on, the only color accent you see is the signature golden/bronze Klipsch logo. With the grille off, you'll see the golden inner Klipsch logo, along with the speaker cones and a central area in the tweeter. The golden color may not be for everyone, but it's a rich and classy looking color scheme that looks great ... MoreOVERVIEWThe Klipsch 30C is a great sounding center channel that also looks great.

With the grille off, you'll see the golden inner Klipsch logo, along with the speaker cones and a central area in the tweeter. The golden color may not be for everyone, but it's a rich and classy looking color scheme that looks great to my eyes. On the topic of the speaker grille, on the 30C, it affixes to the speaker via hidden magnets, which makes the speaker look sleek and slim-lined. Additionally, it has two cork pads on the bottom to help with sound resonance isolation as well as to provide a solid, non-slip surface for the speaker to rest on. I find this preferable to the usual rubber feet you'd see on speakers, as it seems to help isolate rogue resonance much better.SOUND QUALITYSimply put, the 30C sounds phenomenal. It features 4 mid-drivers with a central tweeter and two bass reflex ports on either side. Having 5 drivers allows the 30C to have a wide soundscape that makes it sound bigger than it is. Dialog during TV and movies is crystal clear and incredibly forward, making it effortless to watch shows. In tandem with Klipsch's new R800F floorstanding front speakers, the 30C never feels under powered, adequately projecting sound that makes the front of my theater feel like a continuous speaker. As great as the 30C is for TV and movies, it's also very good for music listening. Across genres ranging from electronic to rap to metal, the 30C sounded well balanced and never underpowered; again, it's apparent how good the 30C is and how present and wide its soundscape is.SUMMARYOverall, this is a very solid center channel speaker. It has a presence and forwardness that lends itself to not only TV and movies, but also all kinds of music. The classy aesthetic nearly guarantees it will fit in with any home theater setup, and because of its power, it will fit in with nearly any front speakers too. Highly recommended.

If need be.After connecting the new speakers to my Denon receiver, I was sincerely and truly amazed by how much better the sound quality was.There was not a hint of screeching/over-sibilant highs or muddy lows/mids. Everything was perfectly balanced and smooth and had excellent clarity. They sound MUCH bigger then they are. They also sound as good if not better then more expensive brands. The new horn tech has definitely improved, and I can actually hear so much more detail when watching movies and listening to music.Klipsch absolutely nailed the new generation reference line.

The 100W center channel speaker is designed so that the dialogue and the sound appear to be coming from the screen. Klipsch recommends placing the Center-Channel speaker as close to the screen as possible and also either above or below the screen. With my setup I was able to place the speaker right below the screen and it has been performing admirably. Aside from just looking amazing, this speaker has been living up to the Klipsch standard for audio. The dialogues and the music just comes right at you from the 4 drivers and 1 horn. The speakers and the horn tweeter are enclosed in a black ebony wood casing along with the Klipsch signature copper diaphragm finish.

The music and the movies, everything sounds so much better, everything is just so much crisper and clearer and clean to give you a better immersive experience all around. You have to hear it to believe it. I would recommend you actually try out the speaker for yourself because I can assure you that you will not be disappointed.

Having been a long time Klipsch speaker owner and knowing their craftsmanship and experience in the speaker business, I was excited to try something new for our center channel with the Klipsch Reference Series 30C. We went from a Klipsch Reference center channel that had two 8” drivers and one horn tweeter to the new 30C that has four copper drivers and one horn tweeter with two open ports on the front of the speaker. After having the larger driver center channel for a few years, I found that the 8” drivers were a little too overpowering and deep sounding for dialog but did sound great when I was using it for multi-channel stereo. Switching to the new 30C, I noticed immediately that I was getting more clear, true to sound, dialog that wasn’t being overpowered by the ... MoreHaving been a long time Klipsch speaker owner and knowing their craftsmanship and experience in the speaker business, I was excited to try something new for our center channel with the Klipsch Reference Series 30C.

After having the larger driver center channel for a few years, I found that the 8” drivers were a little too overpowering and deep sounding for dialog but did sound great when I was using it for multi-channel stereo. Switching to the new 30C, I noticed immediately that I was getting more clear, true to sound, dialog that wasn’t being overpowered by the four smaller drivers which paired well with the horn tweeter in the middle of the speaker. They still sound good with music at loud level, just not as punchy as my older center channel which wasn’t a bad thing for our set up. I did consider using the 30C as my rear center channel and keeping the older center channel up front however I decided just to replace it as my older one was somewhat overkill in our room. I would recommend the Klipsch Reference Series line to anyone in the market for surround sound or stereo speakers, especially the 30C model. Speaking from experience and as an audiophile, you won’t be disappointed with this investment and any Klipsch should last you years, if not decades as in my case from the Klipsch speakers I have owned since the late 90s.
The Klipsch Reference Series R-30C center channel is a great looking, great sounding, well designed center channel speaker that is a great counterpoint to the idea that only a sound bar can fit into modern decor. Klipsch accomplishes this through the use of four 3.5" "spun copper thermoformed crystalline polymer" drivers instead of two larger woofers which would increase the size of the cabinet. I've been holding off mounting my TV above our living room accent cabinet for some time as I look for my next TV, and the R-30C sits low enough that I was able to lift the TV only about 2 inches to get it to the right height above the speaker. Looks wise, with the (magnetic) grille off, the copper color of the drivers and new tweeter design are striking and really make for ... MoreThe Klipsch Reference Series R-30C center channel is a great looking, great sounding, well designed center channel speaker that is a great counterpoint to the idea that only a sound bar can fit into modern decor.

I've been holding off mounting my TV above our living room accent cabinet for some time as I look for my next TV, and the R-30C sits low enough that I was able to lift the TV only about 2 inches to get it to the right height above the speaker. Looks wise, with the (magnetic) grille off, the copper color of the drivers and new tweeter design are striking and really make for an attractive package. With the grille on, these are a not a statement piece and look like a typical non-descript speaker :). I also liked that the speaker is front ported so you don't have to worry about how close to the wall you are placing the speaker - once I wall mount my TV, I'll be able to put the speaker under it on the wall and reclaim space on the top of the cabinet.Sound wise, I was a little worried that the 3.5" drivers would create too much of a difference in sound and not be "timber matched" to the R-800F towers or R-50M bookshelf speakers. I'm not sure how Klipsch accomplished what they've done with these tweeters - the sound stage from even a stereo pair in the front is so wide that it perfectly envelops the space a center channel is producing sound from. As a result, when listening to music in a surround mode, the center channel blends perfectly with the wide sound stage coming from the front mains. Switching from Stereo to All Channel Stereo, you can immediately hear how the center channel is blending in the midrange that's missing from the wide stage of the tweeters on the mains. Playing some dialogue heavy content like Downton Abbey has shown my concerns about timbre matching to be unfounded.I think this center is a perfect match for the R-50M bookshelves in general and for the R-800F tower speakers if you are space constrained under the TV itself. I'm not sure you give up a ton going with this speaker instead of its more traditional cousin with two larger drivers, and the 4 smaller drivers definitely looks more modern for folks who are into the soundbar look.
Can’t go wrong with this Klipsch center channel speaker in my opinion. The speaker has a phenomenal clean, crisp sound that you would expect from Klipsch. Love the low profile footprint of the speaker as well. Looks great on a full length entertainment system table. The speaker may be a little long for you if you entertainment table is short so you may want to measure the length of your table before buying. I have owned Klipsch speakers for over 20 years and they are worth the investment. My current Klipsch 125-watt center speaker channel is 20 years old and still works and sounds just as good as the day I bought it! It goes to show just how good the durability and quality of their speakers are. Very pleased with the recent upgrade I made to this more powerful ... MoreCan’t go wrong with this Klipsch center channel speaker in my opinion.

The Center Channel Speaker is the heart of any good home theater system and the Klipsch Reference Series 30C is easily one of the best center channel speakers I have ever owned. Dialogue comes through perfectly. I have paid admission to movie theaters with center channel set ups that weren’t as clear and accurate as the 30C.Out of the box, I loved the presentation of this speaker. It’s compact and unobtrusive. The magnetic grill plate is a nice decorative touch.I received the Klipsch Reference Series 30C Center Channel Speaker as a part of a Klipsch Reference package containing Series 50M Bookshelf Speakers, Series 101SW – 10’ Subwoofer, Series 600F Floor Standing Speakers, Series 40SA Surround Sound Speakers, and a Onkyo - TX – NR6100 7.2 Channel THX Certified ... MoreThe Center Channel Speaker is the heart of any good home theater system and the Klipsch Reference Series 30C is easily one of the best center channel speakers I have ever owned.

The series was perfectly balanced and while the subwoofer and the bookshelf speakers produced plenty of sound, the center channel was never drowned out or compromised.Over the last week, I set up a test station in the family bonus room and I put the system through the paces comparing it to the existing home theater set up. I laughed, I cried, I shook the neighbors and I’m pretty sure representatives from the USGS will be out in the morning. But the sound from this package is amazing. The family room is a larger room and the sound from the 30C definitely did a good job in that space.In my tests, I played music, summer blockbusters, dialogue heavy classic black and white movies, everyday TV broadcasts. I thought all sources sounded excellent. I noticed no buzzing or notable distortions. Watching “Dune” (2021), I was amazed that I could hear the dialogue better than when I was in the movie theater last fall. Watching “The Batman” in Atmos on HBO Max, details were rich. Dialogue was perfect.Setup is simple. The speaker connections are banana plug compatible. If you don’t have banana plugs, you insert the exposed cable and twist the connections to secure your speaker wire. In terms of dimensions, the speaker is 26" wide, 5" tall, and 6" deep.I really liked this speaker. It’s easy to recommend. If you are purchasing this speaker separately, make sure your other speakers are powerful enough to adequately complement this speaker. Klipsch Reference Series 30C Center Channel Speaker is amazing.5/5
The Klipsch Reference 30C center channel speaker is a good center for a mid-tear system.The center channel is one of the most important components of a surround sound system, mostly because this is where most of the vocals will come from. The Klipsch Reference 30C is a good center channel speaker for most entry to mid-level sound systems. The speaker has a total of 4 woofers and 1 tweeter. The grill is magnetic, making it easy to detach so you can view the beautiful copper-colored woofers, as well as the indented tweeter. Everything about the speakers’ looks, screams classy. Located on the back of the speaker, there are 2 speaker terminals that are compatible with banana clips.

Located on the back of the speaker, there are 2 speaker terminals that are compatible with banana clips. The speaker can either be mounted on a wall or placed on a surface.The 30C can produce some exceptional sound quality. The speaker does have a great range from highs to lows. The vocals are crystal clear and can be heard without any trouble and the 4 woofers can produce some decent lows for their size. I use the 30C with an Onkyo NR1600 receiver, in a 5.2.1 Dolby Atmos speaker configuration. Watching a movie in surround sound is a new experience, it literally feels like I’m right in the center of the movie. I have a hard time hearing vocals in movies, they either come out too muffled or too sharp. With the 30C this seemed to fix that problem completely, I am now able to hear every detail crystal clear.Overall, I am extremely happy with the Klipsch Reference 30C center speaker. The speaker was engineered perfectly! It’s just the right size not taking up too much space on the shelf, yet it’s capable of producing exceptional sound. Not to mention, when the magnetic grill is easily removed, the speaker looks gorgeous. The EQ range is superb, vocals can be heard crystal clear giving me the ability to finally be able to hear what people are saying during a movie. I would highly recommend the 30C to anyone looking for a good center speaker.
Klipsch has been known for making high quality speakers for both Home Audio and even for PC with relatively few design changes. My previous Klipsch speaker setup was several years old, and were used in a home cinema I’d set up in dedicated movie room. They were small, but effective when paired with a good subwoofer and receiver.In the box you’ll find the Klipsch Speaker, a setup guide, and warranty information. I was surprised to see there were cork style padding on the bottom to help keep the speaker from shifting around on your media stand or console. The speaker was double the size of the Soundbar I was replacing this full system with, and has screw in style speaker ports with support for banana plugs.I paired this with a newer Onkyo receiver, and other ... MoreKlipsch has been known for making high quality speakers for both Home Audio and even for PC with relatively few design changes.

I was happy to see the speaker grill was magnetically attached, making it easy to remove the grill for future dust removal and cleaning.Ultimately, the speaker provided much clearer sound than my previous Klipsch set, and even better than the sound bar it was replacing. When paired with other Reference Series speakers, it really elevates the home theater experience. The speaker is painted black, with a wood exterior, and is about the length of a standard soundbar, while double the height.
I needed to upgrade my centre speaker from my trusty but underpowered Jamo Centre 50 recently, and after browsing through RS site I realised I was seriously limited with the choice due to most centres being pretty beefy in height and depth. Literally the only one that would fit on my slim mantelpiece was the Klipsch R-30C, so following the advice from the RS guys I went for it. I'm so glad that I did, as the sound is now properly matching my Diamond 12.3's in terms of power, I can hear more detail across the board and the vocals are crisp and distinct. Each day I'm thoroughly enjoying everything I'm watching (Top Gun: Maverick was phenomenal) and even my wife could tell a huge difference. The icing on the cake is that it looks stunning - took the front grille off ... MoreI needed to upgrade my centre speaker from my trusty but underpowered Jamo Centre 50 recently, and after browsing through RS site I realised I was seriously limited with the choice due to most centres being pretty beefy in height and depth.

Klipsch KLR30CB Reference Centre Speaker R-30C Ebony, Black
Klipsch R-40SA Atmos Speakers replace the R-41SA and are an excellent addition to any multi channel system to enjoy the benefits of Atmos height effects. New Horns For their new reference models, Klipsch have taken their already impressive horn technology and completely redesigned it to give you the all new Tracktrix horn, which is a 90 ̊ by 90 ̊ horn which deliver a more powerful and accurate sound which can emote your audio to a new level with crystal clear clarity that will blow you away. LTS Technology Tweeters On the R-40SA, the tweeter is designed using a 1” aluminium assembly which harnesses Klipsch’s impressive LTS (Liner Travel Suspension) to deliver a crisp, clean sound that has become revered the whole over by audiophiles and those who just want good audio in their setup.
