Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the excellent sound quality and impressive bass response of the CS-9040 Center Channel Speaker. Many also find it easy to use and well-suited as a center channel speaker in a home theater setup. However, some customers note that its size is larger than anticipated, and a few mention that the price point may be relatively high for some consumers. The overall feedback suggests a powerful speaker with some trade-offs in size and cost.

    Got these speakers because they were on sale. Was interested in having great sound quality speakers for movies and music. Did not expect these to be as great as they are. Looked around the internet to see how to properly plug them in using cables that were not included like the subwoofer cable. These speakers did not disappoint. If I could go back I would buy the next model up.
