Klipsch is ALWAYS a good choice.
This speaker replaced a much larger Cerwin Vega center speaker, with dual 6.5" drivers. I needed something that would fit into a rather tight space on an entertainment center, and I was a little concerned that the 4 smaller drivers on this speaker might mean loosing some of the "thump" that my old one provided. I was pleasantly surprised that not only was that not the case, but actually sounded appreciably better than the larger speaker! I don't know how Klipsch does it, but the engineering of their speakers obviously provides superior sound for the size.

Solid Speaker
By far the best center speaker i’ve owned. I’ve been eyeing this speaker for a while now, and it didn’t disappoint. I got it open box excellent, saving me nearly $200 retail. It’s just a solid all around speaker: great clarity, highs, mids you name it. Even at full price, I think its still a solid purchase, but obviously if you can get it open box its a no brainer. I would recommend for a home theater.

This center channel is big and powerful. Would recommend this to anyone who has a larger surround system and those who want more out of a center speaker.
