Compact, wide range speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.With limited verticle space, I was seeking a compact center channel speaker that could handle the output from a Denon X3000 7.2 amp. It is paired with a set of Klipsch up front. For balance, the amp setting is booster for ProCenter 1000 by about 2 dB over the Klipsch. My comparables are a Sony HT-ST9 Sound Bar and a 20-yr old Infinity with dual 5" drivers. As expected, the ProCenter 1000 is lighter on the audio depth but far superior to the sound bar. Voice clarity is there, but that really depends on the movie sound track (which seems quite variable from Charter cable) with some movies driving more into the bass (subs) and surround tracks; or perhaps I need to twerk my settings a bit more. The fit and finish are superb! Overall, I'm satisfied with this purchase.

Bought these to go with my pro monitor 1000
||Posted .So if you have a 2 or 2.1 system and you are unsure on how this will help your experience. Here's what I can assure you: Set the settings from your receiver from stereo to digital, pro logic I or II (etc.) and all the sound you hear coming from the front/rear speakers will go straight to the center channel that will now focus on the dialogue, music, bringing it out toward you filling your room and the bookshelf speaker will now purely focus on the background noise. It will truly be worth the investment and will bring you closer to that sound you want for your very own home theater.

Amazing sound for the size
||Posted .This smaller speaker will amaze your ears. Whether it is the low whisper of dialog or the high intensity of an action scene the clarity is truly second to none within the size (5 x 5 1/4 x 5) and price point of this speaker. I've found that you can not go wrong with Definitive Technology products.

Good speaker
||Posted .Sounds good. I ended up returning and upgrading to the DT 8040 because it was a better sound at an open box price. Prior to returning, the speaker was awesome. Used in my tailgate trailer.

Impressive dynamic range & very clear vocals
||Posted .I decided to upgrade to this seriously great-sounding Center channel from the already-potent proCenter 600 (which I acquired via purchasing the Procinema 600 system at Best Buy in a great package deal along with the equally impressive Denon AVR-X1200 7.1 receiver with Dolby Atmos & DTS-X). As it is, the Procinema 600 is a very impressive system, with far bigger sound than its diminutive size. But, seeing how I was pushing them to just about their limit, I decided to do the right thing and upgrade the 3 front channels to '1000-status' and relegate the 600s to the side and back surround duties.... It is simply the best audio decision I have ever made! The ProCenter 1000 was actually the last missing piece... The first order of business was to upgrade the 2 main front left/rights as the 600s were quite excellent for movies but a little strained playing music at higher volume levels. Adding the Promonitor 1000s was the first giant leap...what beautifully detailed and punchy sound...They can handle anything you throw at them! So, for a month or so, the lineup was the Promonitor 1000s as the main left-rights, the 600 sats for side/back surrounds, pro-sub 600 subwoofer for LFE and the ProCenter 600 continuing in its center-role. I was quite thrilled with this configuration at first, but then I noticed that the 600 Center (which still performs amazingly well) would sometimes get a bit lost in louder sequences and I didn't want to stress it out, so I 'bit the bullet' and decided the best answer was to.spring for this, the substantially larger and beefier ProCenter 1000... Hello home theater bliss! To be clear, the 600 is a superb system, but if you like to really push the volume, then the 1000s are the way to go. The 1000s - including the ProCenter 1000 - deliver incredibly robust midrange, clean highs and respectable mid-bass. Whereas the the 600 sometimes required increasing the volume to cut through the louder 1000 monitors during loud sequences, the ProCenter 1000 effortlessly delivers dynamic, punchy effects and clean, distortion-free dialog while seamlessly blending with the tonally-matched Promonitor left/rights. It's worth every penny of its very-reasonable $220 price tag. In fact, it sounds about twice as expensive as it is. Definitive Technologies is the real deal if you want a top-shelf home theater experience on a modest budget. Highly recommended!

Q: QuestionCan this be placed on tile floor underneath media cabinet?
Asked by Harvey.
- A:Answer I am not a sound guru but I have learned a few things over the years with setting up various systems. While you could place this on the floor underneath the media cabinet, i would not place it directly on a tile floor. I believe it would sound much better higher in your media cabinet too.. The closer you can place it to the same height as your head when you when you are listening to it the better I believe it will sound for you.

Q: QuestionAfter reading reviews, no doubt this cc speaker is great for movies/television. Do these also work well for listening to CDs and music in general? Thanks
Asked by LouisD.
- A:Answer It works very well for music. I play music constantly hardwired and Bluetooth and both are clear with very little distortion as you peak the volume.
Answered by BobbySaget
Q: QuestionI am not connecting to TV. Connecting to receiver with 4 in wall speakers to listen to music. Is this good for that?
Asked by Hjs.
- A:Answer Sure. This would be fine for that. Just make sure that after you hook up the speaker to your receiver that you run your speaker setup again to balance everything out. This would be connecting the little mic that should have come with your receiver and following the prompts to run through the setup again. I have it hooked up to a 7.2 system and it works very well for me.
