    I bought this because I was beginning to have a difficult time hearing dialogue from my TV speakers. This instantly corrected the issue, and now I don’t strain or struggle to hear the dialogue and movies or any TV show. It has an amazing amount of bass for being a center channel but the highs in mid range are very impressive.

    I bought this open box — excellent — so it was basically new. I purchased it in October 2023. The sound is ok, I find that it really only sounds good on one setting though my receiver, but I’m unclear whether that’s because of my set up, or because of the speaker itself. Unfortunately it just stopped working out of the blue the other day. Not sure why. It seems that a Polk Audio speaker ought to last more than two years. Glad I didn’t pay full price.

    A little bigger than the one it is replacing. Sounds good and no rattles. Well made. First thing I listened to was a jazz piano. Sounded so good I thought a piano was in my family room. Needless to say it is crystal clear. Give it a clear signal and you won't be disappointed.

    Surprisingly good sound from a smaller speaker cone width than my past center channel speakers. Another excellent Polk product.

    Had to downsize the center channel speaker and was surprised it was an improvement. Tighter bass that 2 - 6.5 inch woofers. Just watched a very loud top gun and it kept up with full size fronts no problem with over driving them.

    One of my first speakers I got when I decided my HTIB wasn't cutting it. Sounds great, looks cool, fits under my TV. Only problem was it opened a worm hole of me upgrading other speakers too.

    This is a serious center channel speaker. Build quality and sound are excellent. I would have given 5 stars if it had banana plug inputs.
