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.

    Bought this to upgrade my center channel because my old one was being drowned out by the other speakers. I had to adjust the signal level on this one because it can handle so much power that it was over powering the other speakers!
