The RP-500C II is Klipsch's mid-tier center channel in the Reference Premiere II line. It pairs two 5.25-inch Cerametallic woofers with a 1-inch titanium LTS tweeter in a 90° x 90° silicone-composite Tractrix horn, so dialogue stays clear and forward even off-axis. It suits home theater setups where the center does most of the work, and it is more sensitive than most box centers, so modest receivers drive it easily. Against cheaper centers it trades a little bass extension for horn-loaded dynamics; against Klipsch's larger RP-504C II it gives up some output and low-end weight.

Owners of the Reference Premiere II line consistently praise the RP-500C II for clear, punchy dialogue and easy driving. Some find the horn-loaded treble bright, and a few wish for more bass without a subwoofer.
The Klipsch RP-500C II is a passive center-channel speaker from the Reference Premiere II series. It is a 2.5-way design built to reproduce dialogue and sound effects in a home theater. It also works for music.
It has two 5.25-inch Cerametallic cone woofers and a 1-inch titanium Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) vented tweeter. The tweeter sits behind a 90° x 90° silicone composite hybrid Tractrix horn, which controls how sound spreads across the listening area. A rear-firing Tractrix port supports the low end.
The cabinet is MDF with a furniture-grade vinyl finish and a magnetic removable grille. The speaker connects to amplifiers or receivers with an 8-ohm output. A subwoofer is not required, but it can add low-frequency depth.
