At only 5.2" tall, the R-34C center channel speaker compliments today's flat-panel TVs with an unobtrusive, low-profiled design - all while delivering dynamic, crystal-clear acoustics for your movies and music. Dual front-firing Tractrix ports allow the R-34C to be placed right against your wall or entertainment system without effecting the bass response.

TRACTRIX HORN TECHNOLOGY
Klipsch exclusive 90x90º Tractrix horn technology ensures that the R-34C high-frequency energy is aimed at the listener and reduces artificial reverb or filtering caused by indirect sound bouncing off of walls.
WITH KAPTON SUSPENSION
LINEAR TRAVEL SUSPENSION TWEETER
Klipsch exclusive Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) aluminum tweeter minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performances. Using Kapton, an extremely light and rigid material, in the tweeter suspension provides high efficiency and improve resolution and detail.
SPUN COPPER IMG WOOFERS
Injection Molded Graphite (IMG) woofer cones are exceptionally light while being extremely rigid – providing remarkable low frequency response, with minimal cone breakup and distortion. When paired with the Tractrix Horn-Loaded LTS Tweeter, it provides speaker efficiency highest in its class.
TRACTRIX PORT
The dual front Tractrix ports are perfectly matched to the cabinet and woofers, creating ideal airflow with minimal distortion or turbulence even at the lowest frequencies.
SLEEK DESIGN
Exposed fasteners, a low profile magnetic grille, and a scratch-resistant, textured wood grain vinyl give the R-34C center channel speaker a polished, modern appearance. Reinforced MDF construction reduces cabinet vibration for less audible coloration and improved sonic accuracy.
Scene, appearance, assembly quality
Not a grip of timbre stiffness, decoration materials
I chose the central channel not large in height, it was necessary to place it in the regiment, after the torment of the choice I stopped at the Klipsch R34C.
Outwardly, it looks excellent, brutal, the assembly quality is excellent, quite weighty, it looks more actual size.
Cons: the sound does not have enough depths, timbre, sprayers in the voices, apparently the size of the speakers affects and their number can never compensate for this. It also seemed to me that the phase censorships were installed at all for beauty, tried to close them, there is no difference in sound at all, well, the external finish (film), well, sooooo tender, quickly scratches.
Pros: scene, this is some kind of brand, very wide, fills the entire space in this very detail, the sound is very clean.
I think that for this money, the goods are worthy.

Original reviews
Paul W. Klipsch believed four principles to be the foundation for great sound. They continue to drive the design of every new Klipsch speaker, today and tomorrow: High Efficiency / Low Distortion Klipsch horn technology is highly efficient, providing more accurate sound with less power and less distortion – resulting in louder, cleaner audio. Klipsch’s Law: Efficiency is inversely proportional to distortion. Controlled Directivity Klipsch horn technology accurately directs sound to the proper locations, which, in turn, creates a more lifelike soundstage without wasting acoustic energy where sound is not needed or desired. Wide Dynamic Range The softest sounds are reproduced with remarkable clarity and the loudest sounds are delivered without harshness or distortion – with the greatest possible range between the softest and loudest sounds. Flat Frequency Response Audio is delivered without frequency bias – no unnatural highs, mids or lows – reproducing recorded sound as accurately as possible without colorization.
