Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-250C Centre Speaker Klipsch RP-250C Reference Premiere Centre Channel Speaker delivers theatre-quality dialogue in a compact size for easy placement in/on your home entertainment system. Redesigned Tactrix® Horn utilises a circular horn throat paired to a square horn mouth to further improve high-frequency response and extension while enhancing imaging and dynamics. The compressed moulded rubber construction adds high-frequency damping to reduce harshness and improve detail. This creates the cleanest, most natural sound possible. Condition: As New / Mint Payment M
At A$360, this is on the ambitious side for an RP-250C in the used market; recent used examples cluster more around roughly A$230 to A$300, with lower outliers and only the very clean, local-pickup listings pushing higher. In that context, A$360 asks more than I’d expect unless the seller can show unusually strong condition, original packaging, or a bundled matching setup.
That said, the RP-250C is a well-regarded centre for the money: dynamic, efficient, and very good at keeping dialogue clear and intelligible, especially with Klipsch fronts where tonal matching is straightforward. If this one is truly like new, that matters, because centre speakers often take a beating and clean examples are worth a premium. I’d still want to see intact driver surrounds, a flawless horn, and no cabinet scuffs before paying that price.

Founded in 1946 in Hope, Arkansas, Klipsch traces its roots to Paul W. Klipsch, a visionary audio engineer and maverick who handcrafted his first speakers in a tin shed behind a dry cleaner. Patented in 1945, the revolutionary Klipschorn corner horn loudspeaker embodied his quest for live-like sound reproduction, drawing from Bell Labs principles to deliver wide frequency range and expansive soundstaging. This American pioneer shook hi-fi foundations, blending acoustic innovation with unyielding craftsmanship, and registered Klipsch & Associates to bring that tin-shed magic to the world.
Klipsch excels in loudspeakers, from flagship horn-loaded models like the enduring Klipschorn to high-fidelity enclosures, drivers, and complete systems for home audio, public address, and even personal computers. While deeply rooted in speakers, the brand has expanded into headphones and music systems, maintaining a focus on efficient, dynamic designs that prioritize clarity and power without excess amplification needs.
Renowned for its heritage-driven efficiency and bold, live-performance sonics, Klipsch holds a commanding mid-to-high-end position in the market, appealing to discerning buyers who value American-made authenticity over mass-market compromise. Neither purely vintage collector bait nor niche boutique, it bridges classic horn technology with modern reliability, earning cult status among audiophiles chasing that bigger, clearer sound Paul Klipsch first chased in 1946.
