    You would expect a Sony center speaker to be of high quality, both in feel (heft and construction), looks, and sound. This center speaker is excellent in both of these regards. Excellent product.

    Paired this with 2 pair of Sony Core Series 5 bookshelf speakers, a Sony Core Series Subwoofer, and a Sony STRDH770 receiver. Perfect combination that sound great together. Huge improvement over my previous home entertainment system. Highly recommended.

    Bought this to replace an aging RCA speaker and wow, the difference in the vocals was obvious right away. Nice accurate sound. Nice punch. A little larger than my previous speaker but the wife hasn't said anything yet. Another nice feature; it was on sale.

    This speaker sounds great. It's clear and handles dialogue very well. It replaces a speaker that's more than 16 years old and puts it to shame. It also looks very good. It handles all the power my receiver puts out with no problem. I have nothing bad to say about this speaker.

    After reading several reviews on center channels I went to my local Best Buy to put them to the test. In the end the Sony had the best overall quality for the price. Amazing difference from my original center channel, you can actually hear what is being said.

    This speaker is excellent for the price paid. I almost bought another brand but this speaker was on sale. I figured I’d give Sony a chance and I’m glad I did! Excellent speaker! The packaging it came in was alado well designed to protect the speaker.

    Excellent center speaker, but not stand alone. I installed this center before the subwoofer was purchased and the voices were clear but lost the lows. My setup is a 5.1 in a 20 x 30 room and this center speaker was a must for clear voice.

    Our medium size rectangle/almost square size room is perfect for this speaker combined with the two front Sony core tower speakers. Definitely delivers the sound quality/voices come through clearly with music or action sequences at the same time. Would buy again!

    At first, I thought why get this speaker, but after I hooked it up I realized its a vital component to complete sound, especially at the direct front of the system. Really! It was well worth the investment and made listening to movies so much more exciting!

    Great Center Speaker at a great sale price. The Sony speaker reproduces the midrange faithfully to enhance the dialogue to my 7.1 receiver. For a smaller sized box speaker it showed no obvious signs of distortion and could handle the power easily.

    Great bang for you buck speakers. If you are not a huge audiophile, these are great for the price, assuming you get them on sale. Did some research on speakers before purchasing and most agree that the sale price makes it a no brainer for entry level speakers.
