I'm looking for a center channel speaker to use in a 5.1 system with Klipsch KG 4.5 as the front left and right speakers, and a KSW-200 subwoofer.
I find the dialog in movies hard to hear with my current Paradigm CC-150 center channel speaker, and I'm constantly turning the volume up and down between scenes with dialog and action. I've been looking at the RP-504C and RP-404C.
You do not have you speaker levels set correctly.
They will not all be set to the same loudness with this speaker set up.
Either turn up the center or dial down the mains until you
get the right balance between dialog and action.

Why are you Struggling to find the right settings?
Did you run the Audyssey and let the AVR set the sound for TV/Movies?
That's what I did with my Denon.
I don't use audyssey for music most of the time but that's me.

We Moved from Washington DC/ Northern VA
to West Virginia.
While there are some things I miss,
traffic isn't one of them.
Miss do miss my Greek Salads at The Montclaire Family Restaurant.
I Love living on WV. No other place I'd rather be out side of The Smokies.
No Traffic, No Riots, Lots of Wildlife.
Much Lower Cost of Living and I have
Lots of Guns and Ammo.

Paper is a good, natural sounding material for Bass and Mid Drivers.
In Klipsch towers of course is the Copper Cerametallic Woofers.
This is also used in Subs.
I understand about The Heritage Line but couldn't
a Copper Cerametallic Woofer be used in those Speakers as Well?
The cones are Stiffer and Less prone to Flexing than paper.
Material advances in horns are being used in Mids & Tweeters,
Why not Dedicated Woofers in the Heritage line?
I remember reading where Infinity claimed their Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm
had a Much Faster response and that sound actually travelled faster off the cone
than with other material they tested.
So I would just assume that those principals might apply
to the Klipsch Cerametallic Woofers since both are made of metals.
Does sound travel faster from a Cerametallic Cone than
paper or a substance like polypropylene?
With all these metals being used in Squawkers & Tweeters
that respond very fast, I would think a different material
for woofers, that was Faster would be better.

This Denon has so many ways to set sound.
I can do almost anything with it.
Generally, I don't turn it up too loud because
my wife has has a stroke and real loud
music can affect her brain in a bad way.
So I generally listen at a Moderate Level
to keep peace in the house.
So, at a moderate volume, my goal is
Maximum Dynamics & Clarity.

Nice deal, so how are you liking them, I would think alot.
I really like these.
The Bass Clear and Distinct.
Compared to the Synergy line, The Cabinet's are Higher Quality
and that eliminates the Bass Boom.
The Titanium Horn is Very Clear and doesn't have
the Harsher sound that the Aluminum Driver has.
In my system the top end is Much Clearer than with The Synergy.
The speaker is Attractive without The Grills
and The Copper Colored Drivers are Bright & Shiny.
I love the Magnetic Grills, The magnets are strong also.
I'm not real crazy about the Denon unit I'm using except for Movies.
I will be switching to a Marantz with Pre-outs so I can use a more musical amp
at a later date--if I live that long.
Using audyssey in the "Reference" mode is not good for Music.
To me it just does not sound good.
I Use it but for music I change it from Reference to "Flat"
and the Music Sounds Mo Better.
So if you're using Audyssey for music try the Flat Setting
instead of the reference setting.
The speakers are very stable and won't tip over.
I use a little pledge on a micro fiber towel and
they shine up real nice. Don't use too much.
One thing I like about a Klipsch Speaker is
How it throws sound into the room.
Unlike other speakers I have owned
Klipsch Speakers deliver sound unlike other speakers.
Voices and instruments Float into the space
and it's not Boxy.
These are Keepers.

Just my 2 cents since I had Klipsch Aluminum Tweeters
in my speakers. I hated them, they were Screechy.
They seemed to be OK for normal Listening but
turned up to much and trying to get more fidelity
was a ear killer.

I have never heard he AL5. But after replacing the K-77 tweeters in LS II with MAHL horns and B&C DE-120 drivers the sound quality improved. Much smoother top end.
Some feel the K55 is the weak link. Looking at what Klipsch changed points to the K77.
Suspect the new tweeters used in the AL5 are responsible for most of the change in sonics between the two speakers. Doubt the updated wiring and thicker top hat walls are very noticeable.
Wiring is Everything. If Wiring wasn't an Important Change, they wouldn't have done it.

I just bought RF82's II an Old but New in Box Model at Crutchfield for 349 each.
Too Good to pass up.

If the speaker sounds good to you and you did say balanced also.
why worry so much about measurement and numbers?
If you like them, hook them up and enjoy the sound
and don't sweat the numbers---Have FUN.

Chantix is a Dangerous drug and I would not take it.
I Quit smoking over 5 years ago and did it with Vaping.
I use HALO Liquids made in Florida.
I stopped smoking the very first day and never looked back.
I am Much Better off than I was 5 years ago.

Got what I consider to be a Great Price on
RF-82 II at Crutchfield so I bought a pair.
I'll move my Synergy's to the rear.
Should be arriving next week.
Now I'll have an All Klipsch System.

It was Funny--they had the ML hooked up to a ONKYO AVR
ML are supposed to be listened to sitting down because of the dispersion factor.
NO chairs provided for listening.
I guess it wasn't a serious audition at Crutchfield.
When they played the 2000 dollar speakers they set them up in a listening room
and sat me 3 feet away from them play through a McIntosh Amp.
Them the guy stood there looking at us intently.
Not a good experience.
-
Made my yearly visit to Crutchfield and while they were very nice
my sales guy made not so nice remarks about Klipsch.
You know the usual, Harsh, Piercing, and La Scala are Old School--if you like that type of sound.
So I listened to a couple of speakers including Martin Logan
and another brand that cost $1000 each that the sales guy was really bragging on.
They also didn't care for my "County-ish Type of Music".
Idiots.
I hated the Martin Logans and the Fancy Brand he was bragging on Sucked and I told him so.
As you know I have El Cheapo Klipsch that have been Modded.
They wish their speakers sounded as good as mine.
So when I do add speakers to our system, I'll be buying a speaker
I know sound Great--Klipsch.

Here is the corresponding amp.....https://emotiva.com/collections/home-theater/products/a-700
Or the XPA-7 beast of an amp, but those get pricey.
The sound processor looks Great.
I'm not so sure about the BasX line--You ever heard them.
When you load that 7 Channel one up the power drops to 80 watts.
Is that normal for a Power Amp?
The other one I looked at on the Emotiva site was the A-5175 a 5 channel
and it looks bigger.
I'm not going to buy a Marantz and a Amp.
I'm going to buy a Sound Processor & Amp or a Big A$$ AVR.
The Outlaw weighs 14 lbs more than the Emotiva.
That's a lot.
What do you think?
Thanks for responding
