I have a very substantial home theatre system, but have limited space available for the center channel speaker (only 6”high,17′ wide). I was able to audition a Boston Accoustics center,a Definitive Technology pro1000, a Klipsch Icon xl-12 and the Klipsch RC-10 IN MY OWN LIVING ROOM! The Boston couldn’t handle the power,the Def Tech was good but didn’t have the high frequency detail,the Xl-12 was clean but lacked warmth and bass. The Klipsch RC-10 had it all;power handling,good bass and warmth and high frequency detail.It sounded the best of the four and was the most efficient. It’s rare to be able to compare that many speakers at once,let alone in your own house, so I thought it would be helpfull to share. Bottom line-if you’re limited on space for your center channel speaker, this is the one to buy. Oh yeah,it didn’t hurt that I got it from J&R Music for $149.99 no tax, free shipping!
