Klipsch Reference Series RS52 Surround Speaker (EACH) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am using these Klipsch RS-52 on sides along with Klipsch RC-62 Center, RB-61 Fronts, Synergy S1 front highs & backs with a still working superbly 10yr old Definitive Technology 12" 700watt Sub Woofer and a new Onkyo NR807 Receiver for a 9.1 setup in a 22' X 12' living room setup system longways.

The RS-52 picks up all kinds of sound effects watching movies that would by comparison have a muffled & stifled sound with just a ordinary 'surround back' type speakers.Works excellent watching Football, Hockey, etc.I was given a demo of the RS-42 at a local electronics retailer but they did not have those in stock and gave me the RS-52 at the RS-42 price (one lucky day).The RS-52 have 5 1/4" woofers, RS-62 have 6 1/2" woofers and RS-42 have 4" woofers.The difference between the models for the sides is basically the BOOM & SPATIAL EFFECT especially watching movies and Music DVD Concerts depending how you set your audio setting on your receiver. I would have been satisfied with the RS-42 model in my small living room but even yet would notice the difference.It is just a bigger fuller sound with the higher model you go up.Just make sure your fronts and center match specs to a degree.My RB-61 Fronts have 6 1/2" and RC-62 Center 6 1/2" woofers.

I first had these setup at ear level but read the actual Manual that came with it which instructed to put them 5' to 7' above the ground so they are set over your head while sitting down.I got a total theater immersion experience when setting them up that way.Before when they were at ear level, they were good, but more acute rather then immersible.I would twist my head to the speaker at ear level when hearing a funky special effect sound but when setting them above head level will notice surround sounds but similar to when you go to the theater.It doesn't distract you, rather aids in the over all surround sound experience.The sides with be the most effective surround sound speaker you will have in comparison the Front High, Wide or Backs so the extra cost\quality ratio you spend on the sides is important.Indeed, if you are doing a 5.1 setup, get the sides rather than backs for your surround sound speakers.

These sides are sold as singles and not pairs no matter what model you decide upon, so make sure you budget and buy a quantity of 2.

Product Description:
Revealing surprising layers of detail, the Reference Series RS-52 brings a huge dose of reality and convenience to the world of surround sound. With its superior technology and elegant design, this speaker lets you hear everything in its full glory. Adopting a completely new cabinet and driver layout that is similar to the Klipsch THX(R) Ultra2 KS-525-THX surround speaker, the RS-52 establishes greater output, improved coverage and increased power handling to further extend Klipsch's best-in-class surround sound performance. Exclusive Tractrix(R) Horns have always been the key component of the Reference Series. In the RS-52, this technology has been refined to include improved throat geometry for a more genuine, lifelike sound. Behind the speaker's dual horns lie 1-inch titanium tweeters with powerful neodymium magnet motor structures to provide a unique combination of precision, clarity and effortless dynamics. The RS-52 employs dual 5.25-inch woofers for a solid bass foundation. These Cerametallic(TM) woofers with inverted copper dust caps exhibit a very high stiffness-to-mass ratio and superb damping characteristics. Klipsch Wide Dispersion Surround Technology(TM) (WDST) provides crystal-clear sonic detail even in listening areas with less than ideal configurations. The Tractrix Horns deliver a 90-degree wide by 60-degree high dispersion pattern. By aligning two horns at 90-degrees with respect to each other, WDST smoothly covers a 180-degree horizontal arc. In other words, the surround sound is pointed at you no matter where you are seated. While increased baffle ribbing around the horn mouth dramatically improves acoustics across the sonic range, the crossover utilizes Klipsch custom internal wiring and the finest components to provide signal purity and perfect driver integration.
