    Had to replace my center speaker in my awesome 7.2.2 system. This one was good but didn’t give me the voice clarity that I wanted. Returned it...finally found what I needed in a Sony, on sale at BB for $75. Sometimes, more expensive doesn’t mean better.

    I got these and wasn’t happy at all, the sound between these and the low end Sony brand center speaker sound the same. I returned them and got the Klipsch center speaker and OMG.

    I returned this center channel speaker because it was too small for my purpose. The sound didn't seem much better than the speaker I was replacing so I kept my old one.

    I bought this with high expectations. The sound is mediocre compared to my old (and now broken) ELAC center speaker. I personally think it is overrated and over priced.

    Will be getting a bigger center channel speak, just feels a bit under powered and it is not the receiver.

    Just Amazed!

    I am so amazed out how great this center channel speaker is! I currently have the Bose acoustimass cube speakers and the sound from the center speaker was horrible. The dialogue was very muddy and muffled, it was hard to understand when I would watch movies. I decided to by a center speaker to fix the problem and so I went with the Bose VCS-10 thinking that it would work a lot better and to my surprise, it sucked! There was no difference. I then went with a Polk Audio CS-10 and it sounded a lot better then the Bose one but the speaker was too bulky. I was then recommended by a friend to try the Definitive Technology Pro 1000 center speaker and it was like day and night. It sounded better than the Polk audio one and 1000 times better then the Bose Speaker. Best of all, the speaker is very low profile, I was amazed out how clear the dialogue is and how strong this speaker is, I love it!!! The funny thing about all this is that I had never heard of Definitive Technology speakers, I am glad I do now, if the rest of their speakers are like this center channel one then I am sold!!! Best center speaker available in the $200 price range. With the sound you get from this center channel speaker, it can easily sell for more, thanks Definitive for not over pricing!!!

    No real depth of sound as it got completely overwhelmed but my 9040 towers. I returned this and bought the center channel 9040 and couldn't be happier.

      As the DT ProCenter 1000 is perfectly suitable for small to medium rooms, the CS9040 is a perfect match for your BP9040 tower speakers.

    We bought the speaker so we could hear better dialogue on TV. The improvement is significant though we still have a somewhat difficult time on shows with a lot of background noise or music.

    An okay center speaker

    I bought this in the discounted section, like an open box, and tested it a few days. I have two JBL standing 3-way speakers that I use for my audio system. I connected this center speaker, but the sound, like movie dialogue, is not clear enough for me. When I removed it from my system, I can clearly hear and understand the dialogue coming from my standing speakers. I am not sure if this is just the speaker I got. Unfortunately, I have to return this one.

    The reviewers are right! ( again )

    I always research costly purchases to death and this time was no exception. So when over 95% of the reviews for this center speaker, the Definitive Technology ProCenter 1000, on Best Buy's site and other web sites exclaim its virtues I listen. Literally. I was looking to replace my Bose center speaker because either my hearing was declining or the speaker just didn't emit the clear voices I needed to enjoy a movie. My wife was getting tired of telling me " what they said ". I do have 2 Def. Tech. ProMonitor 800's that I'm using as my front speakers in my 5.1 system and they are fantastic. But I checked out other brands for the center anyway. I guess I wasted my time doing that because I ended up getting the same brand for my new center. And as a bonus, they all match perfectly in size ratio and piano gloss finish! if you haven't heard Definitive Technology speakers, get over to Best Buy and do so. Bring along your MP3 player or a CD that you know well and listen to these speakers! You'll be glad you did!
