Reddit mentions of Klipsch R-52C Powerful detailed Center Channel Home Speaker - Black

Well you're going to want to get a Klipsch center since you've got Klipsch towers. No way around that.

The R25C is the matching center to those towers but honestly I think it's small and undersized. The R52C would be a better choice.

Now since the R52C is $200+ you're not left much room for what I'd consider "good" subwoofer range. But if you can squeeze just over your budget the BIC PL 200 II for $300 (does go on sale at times) would be the absolute minimum I'd recommend.

Note the BIC isn't going to get you all the way down to 20hz it peaks at 50hz (110db range) and falls flat on it's face after that, 84dB at 25hz, so basically 8x loss in output (every 10dB is double).

Not to dissuade you but just trying to level set expectations is all. Usually $500 is where you want to be in just the subwoofer but not everyone can spend that kind of money so there has to be compromises and total output and performance in subwoofers is where that compromise happens.

Get the matching center for the Klipsch R-51M which is the Klipsch R-52C $180 with the same tweeter and mid-bass drivers. In a 3 speaker setup, the center is often the most important speaker. Don't cheap out on it.

You came at a good time. With the Klipsch sale going on right now, I would definitely pick up some of those.

I'm terrible at picturing how big rooms are. 14'x20' sounds big, but I'm not sure lol.

If it is big, you might want towers up front. That would be these guys.

If it isn't big, you can get bookshelf speakers all around. That would be these ones here.

You'll need a center as well. This one will work but is moderately expensive. This is the cheaper option.

So if you've gone with 2 pairs of bookshelves and the cheaper center, that's about $450. Throw in a Denon Receiver and you're at $650.

Now, you've got about $100 left in your budget. Personally, I wouldn't get a subwoofer right away. You could get a $100 subwoofer, and it will definitely shake the room, but I would personally wait until you can afford something a bit better. This one from HSU would be fantastic, and that's the one I would get if I were to need a sub for a home theater.

Let me know what you think.

you have a 10' W x 20' room that you will use 10 x 16 of..........

I don't think i need the full home theater setup with surround sound, but really just want some good sound for TV, Xbox, echo dot, and I'm interested in getting a record player. Would all of this go through the receiver? Is this the setup you have?
