Q: QuestionHow does this center channel compare with the previous model HTM71 S2? I notice the bass cones are smaller in this model. Thank you.

Asked 3 years ago by Victoria.

• A:Answer Hi Victoria, We increased the midrange driver from 4" to 5" and reduced the bass drivers to 5". This allowed us to place the tweeter on top in milled aluminum enclosure, which improved the sense of height and clarity you hear when listening to voices. The increased size of the midrange driver offset the smaller bass drivers. We believe that the net improvement over the HTM71S2 is quite noticeable and encourage you to have a listen.

Q: QuestionWill this center channel work with B&W in-wall and ceiling speakers or will it over power them?

Asked 7 months ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer The 700 series center channel speaker blends well with our in-wall and in-ceiling speakers. Upgrading the center channel is always a good idea and will significantly enhance most surround sound systems.

Q: QuestionCan I use this as a center speaker for my karaoke system? Will it break down?

Asked 3 years ago by ty.

• A:Answer Yes, this product can/could be used as a center speaker in a Karaoke system. Note that it does lack low end bass. Build quality is good, so I would expect it to be reliable up to 100 watts.

Q: QuestionI just finished purchasing this speaker. It will arrive in a few days. I am frustrated by the fact that I notice that the specifications list the driver sizes (5M 5B) as completely different from those advertised by the heading (4M, 6 1/2B). What gives?

Asked 3 years ago by Chris.

• A:Answer It will be arriving on Thursday. I am unsure if I should just automatically return it without opening it up, but to be honest, I am pretty let down by the fact that it does not have 6 1/2 bass drivers. I only ever start feeling impressed with that bass size and typically find the 5 inch bass drivers to be underwhelming and also only ever commonly found in the smaller variations of a speakers' lineup. May I ask, why did you all opt for 5s in your "premier" 700 series this time around? Should I "definitely" consider opening it and possibly even keeping it?
