More Than What I expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this center channel speaker along with the same series bookshelf speaker pair (SSCS5) and Dolby Atmos Enabled pair (SSCSE) to complete a home entertainment setup for gaming and streaming -- XBOX ONE X for gaming and Samsung 43" Q60 QLED Smart TV for video. These speakers are connected to a Denon AVR-X3400H receiver and the setup is completed with Definitive ProMonitor 800 surround speakers and a Polk Audio PSW10 subwoofer. I can't speak for using this setup in a larger room with distant speakers. My speakers (and TV) are all within 5 feet. Having said that, the setup just blew me away. In particular, this center channel speaker provides clear dialogue when I stream movies and TV shows. As a point of comparison I originally purchased a 3.1 dolby atmos enabled soundbar and was disappointed with the output -- barely better than the TV speakers. If you want to setup a surround system in up to a medium sized room, you can't go wrong with this speaker, especially at this price point.
I would recommend this to a friendSpeaker as good as advertised

I would recommend this to a friendGreat Sound Great Value
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Clear and loud. Really changed the way I experience movie watching at home. A center channel is a critical component to home theater so dont cheap out on it! This center speaker is good for stereo set ups that total under 2 grand.

Love it
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this in a pinch and there wasn’t too many options. Pro: it’s good sound. Crisp and clear. Pretty loud but not too sharp on the vocals Cons: really large. It’s pretty boxy for a center speaker. Especially if you are trying to go for a minimalistic view.

I would recommend this to a friendGood Sound
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great, $75 is a steal, wouldn't buy at $150 tho, just wait for it to go on sale. I also bought a set of the bookshelf speakers Sony has available for $75, very good sound for the price, give them a shot, at $75 you cant lose

Looks great and sounds great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have this paired with the Core floor and bookshelf speakers, as well as an older Sony subwoofer. It sounds great with the other speakers, and fits in well with the look of my home theater. Sony delivers on an inexpensive but quality speaker set in the Core speakers. You won't be disappointed.

I would recommend this to a friendNice Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased for a center speaker set to complete my 5.1 surround setup. They have great sound quality and a nice design. The box is kinda heavy but that just assures quality of the box itself. Definitely happy with the buy and a very reasonable price for Sony.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat sound

Excellent value, clear dialog
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't have incredibly high expectations for this given the sale price that I paid, but it totally fixed muffled, wimpy dialog from my smaller JBL Cinema 610 center speaker. Much crisper sound. Also great with music.
