Our take
The RP-500C, on the other hand, is worth every penny. It's crisp, clear, and powerful. It handles dialogue, music, and sound effects effortlessly.
Audiophiles will tell you that the RP-500C is not timbre matched to my mains, which is absolutely true. Does it make me want to upgrade my mains? Yes. But, since I use my system almost exclusively for movies, I'd much rather have my center outshine my mains than the other way around.

Tractrix PortsUtilizing Tractrix geometry, the Reference Premiere ports allow for the most efficient, fastest air transfer from the cabinet, which reduces port noise for punchier low frequencies.

Less turbulent air helps reduce port noise for cleaner, more powerful bass. | FURNITURE GRADE MATERIALS AND FINISHESFinishes include ebony vinyl, walnut vinyl and piano gloss.
