    When I decided to upgrade the center speaker for my Kilpsch system I was faced with the problem of space limitations, The current available Kilpsch CS was to big to fit in my ET CTR and this Sony fit just perfect! I find it to have very good sound quality and I believe at a fair price.

    Great center speaker that does it all dialogue and kids with no distortion as long as the rear port can breathe it will not disappoint. Can get loud and clear can adjust eq to get specific inputs but very well balanced without any calibration and can be plug n play.

    The new Sony core series center speaker has produced sound quality that far surpassed expectations once installed as part of my home theater system. Spoken dialogue is no longer lost in overall listening, in either action scenes or daily news broadcast features.

    More Than What I expected

    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.

    Found out the reason I had trouble hearing people talk while watching a movie was because I never hooked up a center speaker to my 7.1 sound system. This speaker makes all the difference in the world to round out a sound system. Now I feel like I am in my own movie theater.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Sounds excellent at this price point. I bought this to replace a competitor's center channel that failed in 3 years. This seems to have better build quality and dialog is crisp

    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 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.
