B&W center channel
While I dont consider myself an audiophile I did notice the variety of music this speaker can handle without causing fatigue on my ears. My wife is also sensitive to higher range frequency. A lot of speakers cause her fatigue and sound harsh. This model does not do that. If you want a speaker that can handle anything from watching movies to listening to jazz hip hop or even EDM or rock to playing video games, this is a great speaker to choose. I paired this with the 703S3 B&W. Mind you, a good speaker is only half the battle. The type of receiver you choose is important too.
