I listened to Klipsch and Samsung center channel speakers before deciding on this Definitive Technology speaker. It has a sub which provides bass and the clarity from the tweeters when people are speaking put it over the top for me. Kinda pricey but worth it. You can hear the difference.

I was very pleasantly surprised with this item, my previous Center Speaker sounded terrible compared to this one. With our recent purchase of the 75 inch Sony flat screen this is a perfect match to complete our overall surround sound system. Sound is crisp, voices are clear. Would recommend a listen.

I'm extremely pleased with my def tech speakers. I also upgraded two floor speakers with def tech as well and the sound has improved greatly. I especially like the clarity of the center speaker. I used to have occasional issues with muddled conversations in films but so far, so good. Even though my old unit was def tech, this model is a definitive improvement!

Sounds great and you don't have to worry about Definitive Technology sketchy amplifier failures. If you are interested in DT speakers do some research on their amplified speaker issues.

Went in to demo speakers and listened to lower priced D.T. Speakers and quickly realized the sound difference in the models as well as the importance of the center channel itself. This model excelled at sound quality as well as having its own amplifier for the woofer. Sound reproduction crisp and clean, the way you would want it.

This center channel speaker does a great job of producing clear and concise dialog, making it very easy at even low volumes to understand what is being said. Combined with the Definitive Technologies towers and surround speakers, I couldn't be happier with how movies with great sound tracks sound! Recommend!

The sound quality is very good in both home theater and music based systems. Dialogue in movies are crystal clear and zero distortion at higher volume. The only con is you will want to replace all of your systems speakers to Definitive Technology after hearing the difference.

Great speaker. More bass than I was expecting. Excellent full range center speaker. Doesn't quite hit the lows it advertised. I set mine to small speaker 80hz

Good quality.....crisp sounding. I have the standing side speakers and they do pair really well with their own DT speakers. I was surprised good it does sound. I now don't need to turn up my Television so loud to hear the voices.

I was not 100% sure at the store as there were others more expensive, but once installed at home and realized that this is a great addition to my other components. The voices in the movie are so much louder than my old Polk center channel.

If you are debating this purchase debate no more. This center speaker brought my system together. AMAZING difference. Most notable with surround 5.1 playback. Really sounds great with movies. Vocals are clear as could be when watching tv and movies.
I would buy again in a heartbeat.

I have never had a nice center channel speaker before and I was amazed at how clear this speaker renders voices. The bass response is also terrific and the quality of construction and the overall design is really first class. I'm really enjoying this product.
