This B&W center channel speaker was the missing piece for our entertainment center. I thought having 2 towers, 2 subwoofers and a brand new TV would be enough but this center channel added an additional layer. While watching tv, we can now hear some of the smaller more intricate sounds during movies or shows. The setup was extremely easy and the aesthetics really elevate our living space.

After having owned both the little brother to this (B&W HTM72S3) and the 702s2 towers for several years, I realized the center channel wasn't matching the performance of the towers. I stepped up to the HTM71S3 and couldn't be happier. More dynamic, significantly improved soundstage, and dialogue clarity are unmatched. Movies have come to life and subtitles are a thing of the past. The decoupled tweeter and continuum mid-range driver are crisp and clean (not shrill or fatiguing) while the 5.5" drivers provide a solid foundation without sounding anemic or bloated. For those looking for premium center channel, so long as you are willing to pay the hefty price, you have arrived. My only complaint is that I had to be creative about making enough space under the televsion (9.5") as I'm unable to mount the TV to the wall.

I didn’t think it was gonna make a big difference, but I upgraded my center channel to this one and my old one is a Bowers & Wilkins and I gotta tell you this one is much much better. I highly recommend it.

balances out my system perfectly i get announcers for games that I watch thru this while the other speakers thump with the crowd and added sound effects. I love it stand out white really lites up the room to

This is an excellent center channel speaker. The sound is true B&W.
