The RP-500C II is Klipsch's second-generation Reference Premiere center channel, built around a 1-inch titanium LTS tweeter in a 90° x 90° Tractrix horn and dual 5.25-inch Cerametallic woofers. It is the anchor of a Klipsch home theater front stage, handling dialogue and on-screen action with the horn-loaded dynamics the brand is known for. Compared with the first-generation RP-500C, it gets a larger horn, redesigned woofers with aluminum shorting rings and a revised input panel. It suits buyers who want high-sensitivity, high-output Klipsch sound and already run Reference Premiere towers or bookshelves; those wanting a neutral, laid-back center may find the horn forward.

Owners of the RP-500C II generally praise its clear dialogue and dynamic, room-filling output, and many pair it with Reference Premiere II towers. Some note the horn-loaded treble is forward and that the cabinet is bulky for tight TV stands.
The Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-500C II is a center channel speaker for home audio, rated at 400 watts. It has a 90° x 90° Silicon Composite Hybrid Tractrix horn that focuses high frequencies toward the listening area. This second-generation horn is larger, which gives a bigger soundstage and better directivity.
The tweeter is a Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) titanium diaphragm design with a vented layout that reduces standing waves. The woofers are cerametallic and use new aluminum shorting rings and a new motor structure. Tractrix ports with custom inner flares reduce turbulence and port noise.
The input panel has audiophile-grade wire and aluminum binding posts that accept any connection type. The cabinet is wrapped in ebony vinyl with a satin painted, scratch-resistant baffle. A strong, flexible grille attaches magnetically and removes easily. Cork pads replace rubber bumpers to hold the speaker in place on stands or tables.
