Klipsch RC-64 Center Channel Speaker (Original First-Gen) – Cherry – Mint Condition - For sale is the legendary Klipsch RC-64 (first-generation, not the later RC-64 II), finished in beautiful real cherry wood veneer. This is the highly sought-after original flagship center that many Klipsch enthusiasts still consider the best center the company ever made. Key Specs • Four 6.5” Cerametallic woofers + Tractrix horn-loaded titanium-dome compression driver • Frequency response: 57 Hz – 21 kHz (±3 dB) • Sensitivity: 98 dB @ 2.83V/1m (insanely efficient) • Power handling: 200 W continuous / 800 W peak • Nominal impedance: 8 ohms • Real wood cherry veneer cabinet (serial confirms genuine cherry finish) • Dimensions: ~8” H × 35.8” W × 13” D | Weight: ~60 lbs Condition: 9.8/10 – Absolutely pristine • No scratches, dents, chips, or sun fading on the cherry veneer • All four woofers and the horn driver are perfect – no rubs, tears, or dust • Grilles and badges are flawless • Comes with 8-gauge upgraded bi-wire jumpers installed (as shown) Why the original RC-64 is still king (forum consensus): • AVS Forum’s famous 2007–2012 Klipsch threads: “The original RC-64 is smoother and more natural than the RC-64 II – the II can be a bit bright in comparison.” • Many owners on Reddit r/hometheater and Polk Audio Forum still prefer the Gen 1 for its warmer, more musical midrange while retaining the classic Klipsch dynamics and insane output capability. • Frequently called “the best center channel Klipsch ever built” and a perfect match for RF-7, RF-83, or any Heritage setup. At $1k this is a steal – these rarely pop up in this condition and typically sell between $900–$1,300 when they do (especially cherry). New they were $1,500 fifteen years ago. Local pickup preferred [your area], but I can ship at buyer’s expense (it will be triple-boxed and fully insured). Happy to demo it for serious buyers. First one with cash (or Venmo/Zelle/PayPal) takes it home. PM for more photos or to come hear it sing! .
