Klipsch PRO-25RW LCR In-Wall Speaker (Each) at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada

The PRO-25RW LCR is a 2-way in-wall LCR speaker from Klipsch (Indianapolis, Indiana, USA), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Part of Klipsch's Professional Series Reference architectural lineup, it uses the same acoustic components and horn material as the Klipsch Reference box speaker series to deliver Reference-grade performance for left, center, and right channel positions in home theater and distributed audio installations. Dual 5.25" Injection Molded Graphite (IMG) Woofers paired with a 1" Pivot Aluminum Dome Tweeter mated to a 90° x 90° ABS Tractrix Horn deliver a measured frequency response of 56Hz to 23kHz (+/-3dB) at 93dB sensitivity and 8 ohms, with 75W RMS and 300W peak power handling across a 90° x 90° coverage pattern. Controlled Dispersion Technology allows the entire speaker module, both tweeter and woofer, to pivot up to 15° in any direction for on-axis frequency response optimization to off-center listening positions. The SecureFit Installation System hand-engages the dog legs to a preset clamping force, and the module fastens to the bezel with machine screws for a robust, acoustically stable installation. Both square and round bezel-free magnetic paintable grilles and a magnetic PVC paint shield are all included in the box.

True Klipsch Reference Acoustics in an LCR In-Wall Format

The PRO-25RW LCR occupies a closely parallel position to the PRO-250RPC in the Klipsch Professional Series lineup: both are dual-5.25"-driver in-wall LCR speakers sharing a 16.5" x 6.5" cutout footprint, but they draw from different Klipsch acoustic lineages. The PRO-25RW LCR uses Injection Molded Graphite (IMG) woofers and a pivot aluminum dome tweeter from the Klipsch Reference box speaker series, while the PRO-250RPC uses Cerametallic woofers and a titanium dome tweeter with Hybrid Cross Section Tractrix horn from the Reference Premiere series. The IMG woofers in the PRO-25RW LCR are produced by injecting graphite fiber and polymer compound into precision molds under high pressure, creating cones with consistent stiffness, internal damping, and dimensional accuracy across production runs. This material provides the Reference series' characteristic balance of controlled bass response and natural midrange reproduction without the coloration of conventional paper cones. The 1" aluminum dome tweeter couples into a 90° x 90° ABS Tractrix horn, directing high-frequency energy into the listening area with horn-loading efficiency and controlled directivity. The combination reaches 56Hz with the dual-woofer array, making the PRO-25RW LCR suitable as a full-range LCR in home theater systems with a separately driven subwoofer handling the bass below that point.

Controlled Dispersion Technology: Full Module Pivoting

A significant distinction of the PRO-25RW LCR within the Professional Series Reference lineup is its Controlled Dispersion Technology, which allows the entire speaker module, comprising both the tweeter and the dual woofer array, to be aimed up to 15° in any direction. This is a more comprehensive aiming capability than a tweeter-only pivot, as it allows the full acoustic axis of the speaker, including the woofer's midrange radiation pattern, to be directed toward off-center listening positions. In LCR home theater applications where the left, center, or right speaker positions are constrained by stud bay location and do not align with the ideal acoustic axis to the primary listening seat, this full-module aiming capability allows the installer to compensate for both horizontal and vertical angular offset without requiring acoustic treatment or post-installation equalization. The SecureFit hand-engagement system prevents overtorquing of the dog legs, and the machine-screw connection between module and bezel provides a more rigid and less resonant final installation than conventional drywall-screw mounting.

Key Features

• True Klipsch Reference Acoustics: Uses the same IMG woofer material and Tractrix horn design as the Klipsch Reference box speaker series, delivering Reference-grade dynamic voicing and tonal character in a flush-mount architectural installation.
• Dual 5.25" Injection Molded Graphite (IMG) Woofers: Two graphite fiber and polymer injection-molded drivers share acoustic output across a dual-woofer baffle, providing combined cone area for improved bass output and consistent driver-to-driver matching for system uniformity across multi-speaker installations.
• 1" Pivot Aluminum Dome Tweeter with 90° x 90° ABS Tractrix Horn: The aluminum dome tweeter mated to a Tractrix horn delivers controlled 90° x 90° high-frequency dispersion with horn-loading efficiency and low distortion, matching the tonal character of the Klipsch Reference box speaker series.
• Controlled Dispersion Technology: The entire speaker module, both tweeter and woofer array, pivots up to 15° in any direction, allowing the installer to optimize the full acoustic axis of the speaker toward off-center listening positions regardless of stud bay placement constraints, providing more complete aiming correction than tweeter-only pivot designs.
• 93dB Sensitivity at 8 Ohms: High efficiency enables substantial output from modest amplifier power, making the PRO-25RW LCR well matched to both home theater AV receivers and multi-zone whole-home audio distribution amplifiers where per-channel power is shared across multiple zones.
• SecureFit Modular Installation System: Dog legs hand-engage to a factory-preset clamping force, eliminating overtorquing. The speaker module then fastens to the bezel with machine screws for a mechanically stiffer and more acoustically stable connection than conventional drywall-screw mounting methods achieve.
• Both Square and Round Bezel-Free Magnetic Grilles Included: A square and a round powercoated magnetic steel grille are both provided, allowing the installer to select the visual profile best suited to the room's architectural character. Both grilles are paintable to match any wall finish and attach without visible hardware.
• Magnetic PVC Paint Shield Included: A magnetic paint shield covers the speaker module during wall painting or construction work to protect the IMG cones and tweeter from paint splatter and construction dust without requiring grille removal.
• Infinite Baffle ABS Enclosure: The wall cavity acts as the acoustic working environment at 3.78" mounting depth. Compatible with the optional IK-502-W or IK-502-W II installation kit for new construction framing (both sold separately).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Klipsch PRO-25RW LCR?

The Klipsch PRO-25RW LCR is a 2-way in-wall LCR speaker from Klipsch's Professional Series Reference architectural lineup, featuring dual 5.25" Injection Molded Graphite woofers and a 1" pivot aluminum dome tweeter mated to a 90° x 90° ABS Tractrix horn. It delivers a frequency response of 56Hz to 23kHz at 93dB sensitivity and 8 ohms, handling 75W RMS and 300W peak power. Controlled Dispersion Technology allows the full speaker module to pivot up to 15° in any direction, the SecureFit hand-engagement installation system prevents overtorquing, and both square and round bezel-free magnetic paintable grilles plus a magnetic PVC paint shield are all included.

How does the Klipsch PRO-25RW LCR compare to the PRO-250RPC and the Polk Audio 265-LS?

The Klipsch PRO-25RW LCR and PRO-250RPC share a nearly identical cutout footprint of 16.5" x 6.5" and both use dual 5.25" drivers, but they draw from different acoustic lineages and differ in key capabilities. The PRO-25RW LCR uses IMG woofers and a pivot aluminum dome tweeter from the Reference series, with Controlled Dispersion Technology that pivots the entire module, both woofer and tweeter, up to 15° in any direction. The PRO-250RPC uses Cerametallic woofers and a titanium dome tweeter with Hybrid Cross Section Tractrix horn from the Reference Premiere series, with a fixed horn and no module-level aiming capability. The PRO-250RPC offers higher 94dB sensitivity versus the PRO-25RW LCR's 93dB. Compared to the Polk Audio 265-LS, the Klipsch PRO-25RW LCR's Controlled Dispersion full-module aiming and Tractrix horn directivity provide a more complete solution for off-axis listening positions than the Polk's swivel-tweeter-only approach.

What is the difference between Controlled Dispersion Technology and a standard tweeter-only pivot?

Controlled Dispersion Technology on the PRO-25RW LCR pivots the entire speaker module, comprising both the 1" aluminum dome tweeter and the dual 5.25" IMG woofer array, up to 15° in any direction. A standard tweeter-only pivot adjusts only the high-frequency driver's axis, which corrects treble balance for off-center listening positions but leaves the woofer's midrange radiation pattern unchanged and still directed at the wall's original perpendicular angle. Because the PRO-25RW LCR pivots the full module, both the tweeter axis and the woofer's midrange radiation axis are adjusted simultaneously toward the listening position, producing more consistent full-range on-axis frequency response at off-center seats. This is particularly beneficial in home theater center channel positions where the seat layout is wide and side seats are at a significant horizontal angle to the speaker.

Can the Klipsch PRO-25RW LCR be used as a center channel speaker?

Yes, the Klipsch PRO-25RW LCR is designed for left, center, and right channel positions in home theater systems. For center channel use, the 16.5" H x 6.5" W cabinet is installed horizontally with the long dimension running side to side, below or above a projection screen or flat-panel display. The 90° x 90° coverage pattern of the Tractrix horn maintains consistent horizontal dispersion in horizontal mounting orientation, and Controlled Dispersion Technology can tilt the module toward a listening position that is above or below the center speaker's default acoustic axis, which is common when the center channel is installed at screen height and the listening seats are at a different vertical angle.

What amplifier is recommended for the Klipsch PRO-25RW LCR?

The Klipsch PRO-25RW LCR recommends 100W per channel and handles 75W RMS and 300W peak at 8 ohms. Any AV receiver or power amplifier capable of stable 8-ohm operation at 75W to 100W per channel is suitable for home theater LCR use. The 93dB sensitivity means the speaker produces reference listening levels from moderate amplifier power, making it a strong match for mid-range AV receivers from Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, and Onkyo in home theater configurations, as well as multi-zone distribution amplifiers in whole-home audio systems where per-channel power is shared across zones.

Where can I buy the Klipsch PRO-25RW LCR in Toronto or Canada?

The Klipsch PRO-25RW LCR In-Wall Speaker is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Klipsch dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the complete Klipsch Professional Series Reference architectural speaker lineup and can advise on system configuration, channel layout, amplifier matching, and installation accessory selection including the optional IK-502-W or IK-502-W II installation kits for new construction and retrofit home theater builds across the Toronto area and across Canada.

Does the PRO-25RW LCR need a subwoofer?

The Klipsch PRO-25RW LCR reaches a measured 56Hz lower extension, which is sufficient for most music listening without a subwoofer in smaller to medium-sized rooms. In home theater applications, pairing the PRO-25RW LCR with a dedicated subwoofer and configuring the AV receiver's bass management to redirect the low-frequency effects channel and all bass below 56Hz to the subwoofer output is the standard approach, ensuring both clean LFE reproduction and proper protection of the PRO-25RW LCR drivers from sustained high-power bass drive. In secondary whole-home audio zones where background music is the primary use, the 56Hz extension is often adequate without a supplementary subwoofer.

Why are both a square and a round grille included with the PRO-25RW LCR?

Klipsch includes both a square and a round bezel-free magnetic grille with the PRO-25RW LCR to provide installation flexibility without requiring a separate accessory purchase. The square grille presents a rectangular face consistent with the speaker's footprint dimensions, suiting modern minimalist interiors or installations where square architectural elements surround the speaker location. The round grille presents a softer circular face that integrates well in environments where circular architectural elements or recessed lighting are nearby. Both grilles are powercoated steel, accept standard interior wall paint for seamless wall-color matching, and attach magnetically without visible clips, screws, or frames for a bezel-free finished appearance.
