So if you have a 2 or 2.1 system and you are unsure on how this will help your experience. Here's what I can assure you: Set the settings from your receiver from stereo to digital, pro logic I or II (etc.) and all the sound you hear coming from the front/rear speakers will go straight to the center channel that will now focus on the dialogue, music, bringing it out toward you filling your room and the bookshelf speaker will now purely focus on the background noise. It will truly be worth the investment and will bring you closer to that sound you want for your very own home theater.

With limited verticle space, I was seeking a compact center channel speaker that could handle the output from a Denon X3000 7.2 amp. It is paired with a set of Klipsch up front. For balance, the amp setting is booster for ProCenter 1000 by about 2 dB over the Klipsch. My comparables are a Sony HT-ST9 Sound Bar and a 20-yr old Infinity with dual 5" drivers. As expected, the ProCenter 1000 is lighter on the audio depth but far superior to the sound bar. Voice clarity is there, but that really depends on the movie sound track (which seems quite variable from Charter cable) with some movies driving more into the bass (subs) and surround tracks; or perhaps I need to twerk my settings a bit more. The fit and finish are superb! Overall, I'm satisfied with this purchase.

This smaller speaker will amaze your ears. Whether it is the low whisper of dialog or the high intensity of an action scene the clarity is truly second to none within the size (5 x 5 1/4 x 5) and price point of this speaker. I've found that you can not go wrong with Definitive Technology products.

Great sounding center channel speaker. Small and streamlined if you don't have a lot of space

Clear and loud! This is a great center speaker. We just wish it was lower profile.

Sounds good. I ended up returning and upgrading to the DT 8040 because it was a better sound at an open box price. Prior to returning, the speaker was awesome. Used in my tailgate trailer.

Clear dialogue from center speaker. Works well with in-ceiling surround sound speakers

Dies what it is intended to do while not taking up much space.

I am really pleased with my new Definitive Technology center channel speaker. I wanted something as small as possible, but with good sound quality, and I found it in this speaker. When the speakers on my TV went out, I enlisted the help of my friend who has a surround sound system which he installed himself after researching numerous speakers and receivers. Since the TV picture was still working fine, we decided to install a receiver and bypass the TV speakers entirely. I used my old stereo speakers which were OK, but once we added the center channel speaker what a tremendous difference it made for the better. Since I had to place the speaker on a table under the TV which also had a sculpture and some other decorative pieces, I wanted as small a speaker as possible. The Definitive fit that need perfectly. At just over 14 inches wide by 5 inches deep, this speaker is one of the smallest I looked at, but the amazing thing is that it sounds like a much larger speaker. My friend, who has a much more expensive Definitive center speaker ended up buying this one as well.

I decided to upgrade to this seriously great-sounding Center channel from the already-potent proCenter 600 (which I acquired via purchasing the Procinema 600 system at Best Buy in a great package deal along with the equally impressive Denon AVR-X1200 7.1 receiver with Dolby Atmos & DTS-X). As it is, the Procinema 600 is a very impressive system, with far bigger sound than its diminutive size. But, seeing how I was pushing them to just about their limit, I decided to do the right thing and upgrade the 3 front channels to '1000-status' and relegate the 600s to the side and back surround duties.... It is simply the best audio decision I have ever made! The ProCenter 1000 was actually the last missing piece... The first order of business was to upgrade the 2 main front left/rights as the 600s were quite excellent for movies but a little strained playing music at higher volume levels. Adding the Promonitor 1000s was the first giant leap...what beautifully detailed and punchy sound...They can handle anything you throw at them! So, for a month or so, the lineup was the Promonitor 1000s as the main left-rights, the 600 sats for side/back surrounds, pro-sub 600 subwoofer for LFE and the ProCenter 600 continuing in its center-role. I was quite thrilled with this configuration at first, but then I noticed that the 600 Center (which still performs amazingly well) would sometimes get a bit lost in louder sequences and I didn't want to stress it out, so I 'bit the bullet' and decided the best answer was to.spring for this, the substantially larger and beefier ProCenter 1000... Hello home theater bliss! To be clear, the 600 is a superb system, but if you like to really push the volume, then the 1000s are the way to go. The 1000s - including the ProCenter 1000 - deliver incredibly robust midrange, clean highs and respectable mid-bass. Whereas the the 600 sometimes required increasing the volume to cut through the louder 1000 monitors during loud sequences, the ProCenter 1000 effortlessly delivers dynamic, punchy effects and clean, distortion-free dialog while seamlessly blending with the tonally-matched Promonitor left/rights. It's worth every penny of its very-reasonable $220 price tag. In fact, it sounds about twice as expensive as it is. Definitive Technologies is the real deal if you want a top-shelf home theater experience on a modest budget. Highly recommended!

I listened to a number of center channel speakers before this purchase. Most of them were larger and didn't sound any better. Some of the more expensive alternatives didn't offer much in the way of low frequency response. I chose the Definitive Technology Pro Center 1000 because I liked its sound quality, size and price.

after about 2 weeks of break in this little speaker is a good performer with good detail and dialog it sits right under my TV and looks good big sound from a small speaker. I am putting 130 watts at with a high end receiver . at it has not checked yet. about 2 months old now.

I originally bought the B&W center speaker to match my floor speakers and subwoofer. Unfortunately, my TV is only about 4" above the piece of furniture underneath it, so the B&W center speaker blocked part of the bottom of the TV (it is 6.5" tall). I begrudgingly brought the B&W back and listened to every center speaker Best Buy had. This one, despite its size (short enough to not block my TV), was amazing. The highs during music are unbelievable and the sound in general is very, very good. I honestly think I prefer the sound to the larger, more robust B&W center. This speaker was also half the price of the B&W so it was a win-win. This is a great center channel and an even better value. The fact that it is much smaller is icing on the cake.

My home theater center channel speaker was 25 years old. While some components in the home theater have been upgraded, the center channel speaker was an original. The amp/receiver has been upgraded multiple times, most recently six months ago. I realized that I was having trouble understanding dialog in movies especially (most of which is directed to the center channel). I made various adjustments to the receiver to boost the center channel level in comparison to the other speakers and adjusted the equalization, but nothing really helped. I found I was watching movies with the remote control in hand to crank up the volume in order to understand the dialog, and then cranking it down because the effects were too loud. The ProCenter 1000 has solved my problem. I can now watch a movie without holding the remote control and constantly adjusting the volume in order to understand dialog. Voices are clean, crisp and intelligible. I cannot over emphasize what a huge improvement this is. Speaker technology has obviously improved since my original speaker was manufactured. This modest upgrade was well worth the price. It is small enough to fit just about anywhere.

Nice center piece lower profile with clear sound, fit nicely on my tv console. Great space saver, just the right size for what I needed with excellent sounds.

On the entry level/budget friendly side of the home entertainment speakers. compared to other center channel speakers in a similar price point its on the smaller end. if placing on an entertainment center it takes up little space, but also has the ability to be wall mounted as well. has a nice crisp sound thats really help dialogue for watching TV/movies and crisp vocals when listening to music.

Last year I bought Definitive Technology's outdoor speakers from Best Buy and have been amazed at how great they sound. Began researching center channel speakers after getting more and more annoyed with the poor weak sound coming through my 10+ yr old Bose center channel. Got the Def Tech and immediately noticed a huge improvement. These are also so much more powerful I had to reset my gain setting on my AVR. Only bad thing is now I'm fighting the urge to swap out my mains and surround sound with Def Techs!

I purchased this center to line up with my PB8060ST L/R. I couldn't be happier. My setup consists of the 8060ST + a Bose Lifestyle 15 as my rears + front high (as Atmos). I have the 5th Bose as my center for a while, but visually, it just wasn't appealing. This center has an extremely small footprint, great for underneath a flat screen. The sound is incredible -- crisp with zero distortion even at high volume. Great center especially if you currently have Definitive Technology.

DT speakers are pricey, but the sound is great and the looks are above the norm. Great styling. Secure packing. I am mixing and matching DT bookshelf speakers to form a 7.1 Atmos sound system. The Pro 600, 800 and 1000 speakers seamlessly work together. I do not 'drive' them hard, but bought extended warranties, just to be sure.

I upgraded to the 1000 from the 600.. nice addition! I believe over time it will definitely pay off. It instantly made a difference when turning up a blu-ray movie!!! Nice quality and sound!
