Product Description
The Klipsch Synergy C-1 center channel speaker delivers subtle and thrilling performances by employing dual 4″ magnetically shielded, IMG woofers and a 0.75″ magnetically shielded, aluminum dome tweeter coupled to an exclusive square Tractrix(R) Horn, which increases sensitivity and minimizes room interactions that blur sonic detail. The C-1 has the panache that allows listeners to hear everything from the faintest whisper to the loudest roar with complete clarity. It is also timbre-matched to the entire range of Synergy speakers. Available in a black finish with titanium accents, the contemporary look of the C-1 is two-fold. With its grille on, the C-1 offers a sense of elegance that nicely blends in with your home décor, but take the grille off and you get an aggressive and powerful statement that exudes extreme performance.Amazon.com Product Description

Klipsch Synergy C-1 Center Channel Speaker
This is a great budget-oriented center channel for anyone who already has or is looking to get Klipsch synergy speakers. I matched it with SF1 floorstanding front speakers and it sounds excellent. Together, plus a subwoofer and some surrounds, the system really makes for a great home theater experience. Voices sound natural and the details come out. It becomes almost disconcerting hearing the lightest sounds like the faint peeling sound of an actor’s lips parting when they speak. Definitely recommended, especially if you’re paying significantly less than MSRP (which it usually goes for).

I bought a new tv (samsung 52 inch b630 amazon purchase) and the way my stand is with the tv on it, I had to
set the old center channel to one side of it and the sound became off balanced. I had some options,
either buy a new tv stand or put a shelf below the tv so the center would have room.
I don’t like these options so I bought a second center channel, this klipsch. Both centers sitting on the
front side A speakers. The dialogue is coming from the center now. Sounding very groovy.
One thing not talked about in the description is this center speaker comes with threads so it can
be mounted on a stand or on a wall.
The sound of this speaker is very crisp and clean, at high volumes it can get a little chirpy (2 to 3pm)
But for 80$, I’ll listen to this cool bird chirp. Has nice weight when you pick it up. Solid.
Not to mention, this speaker just looks damn cool. I leave the grill off so I can bask in its
simulated titanium beauty
My current setup (its about to change again!!!)
(amazon purchase)
Yamaha RV 1105 receiver
1 jbl center channel

2 jbl tlx 121 (front B side)
2 bose 161s mounted to the sides of the jbl 121s (rear channel)
2 polk 10 inch subwoofers (its a big room
I just ordered some cerwin vega ve-12s (amazon purchase) to replace the 151s, which in turn will replace the 121’s.
I’m tired of whimpy bookshelf speaker sounds. I want to be at the concert!!!!
And how cool is this c1 going to look sitting on top of a CV VE-12 ?????

I purchaced one of these about 1 1/2 years ago, and i’m using it with 2 Polk monitor 60 fronts, and a Boston Acoustics 10″ sub.
If you need an inexpensive or small center channel speaker ( i could’nt go bigger with my tv stand )this one is a very good performer.
At under $200.00, it’s a bargain.
