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.

    Purchased this to replace an older Definitive center channel speaker in which the amp died. Replacement was difficult and original parts unavailable. This one was pretty good, but the woofer is not powered and the whole speaker sounded weak compared to the other speakers with powered woofers. So we returned it.

    We've only had the center speaker for less than a month, so the jury is still out.
