Nice center channel
Beautiful clean soundbar appearance. Great for under a television. Not sure the sound from this is as crisp as from the Q350s (which are cheaper) but it certainly projects the typical center vocals across a wide soundstage and has consistent sound with the other KEF speakers in the setup. A bit overpriced given it requires an external wire harness (provided) and KEF didn’t re-engineer it as a true center. Powered by a Denon AVR X4700H.

Fantastic center channel speaker
I was a little skeptical when I purchased the center channel speaker, but I have been surprised at the great quality level for such a small unit. The dialogue clarity is fantastic. I have been using a pretty high sound bar with rear speakers and a subwoofer due to the room we were in however we moved and the room we are in is much larger and gave me access to using an AV receiver with regular speakers and because my Sony OLED TV set is on a stand very few center channel speakers would fit in front of it on the same table so I decided to try this and it’s way better than I thought it would be. Once again reinforced that regardless of how good a soundbar you might have, it will never outperform a good quality AV system with good speakers and a good subwoofer so if you’re looking for a low profile center speaker with great performance you can’t go wrong with this.

A Wife Pleaser With Great Sound
This is an excellent center channel speaker. It has a very wide field in the horizontal plane, which is very good when your audience is not all sitting in the sweet spot. Dialogs are crisp and clear and because the bar actually has three sets of concentric speakers it can also be set up as a left, right, center bar as well. It has multiple mounting options which is another nice feature. It is well made and feels substantial. I installed it for a client and he loves it. More importantly, so does his wife!
