    I bought the Sony center to match with the core bookshelf speakers also from Sony. I bought it on sale from Best Buy, but feel it's worthy of the full price purchase. It sounds great for movies and adds depth to dialogue and music alike.

    Excellent sound out of this center channel speaker. You should pair it with 2 front speakers and 2 back speakers to get the full experience. Since this is manually wired it takes a bit more work to setup than soundbars, but the quality vs price is really solid and worth the effort

    I have a 22 year old SONY stereo. It has given me years of pleasure listening to my music. One of the speakers was in need of repair, so I visited the Best buy store at Destiny Mall for replacements. I looked at less expensive speakers, and landed on these SONY speakers. They match well with my old SONY stereo. These speakers ensure that I will continue to enjoy this stereo that I received as a 40th birthday present at my "Grateful Dead theme" surprise birthday party for many more years.

    Placement will make a difference with this speaker. I placed it on my fireplace and was totally satisified but when I mounted it to the wall just below my TV it made the system come alive. I am awe struck at the quality of my system now.

    I don't need the top-of-the-line speakers for my surround sound system, but my old center speaker was not cutting it. I had my eye on a replacement Sony speaker and when it went on sale I jumped on it. Very good sound for the price.

    This has been a game changer to my speaker set up. Voices were not in sync with ceiling speaker but now works great. Nice sound. Definitely better setting in front of television.

    A high quality sound complimenting other components in a 5:1 system. The voice quality is legitimate and easy to balance with mains and remotes. I would repeat the purchase.

    Great center speaker. Had a small Polk as center. After I connected the Sony there was a big difference. Voices were clearer, noticed it improved the response from the surround speakers. Great value!

    I hated having to max my volume on my TV just so I can hear decent dialog. This is a must if you have that same issue. Watching a documentary on hulu as I write this and I am very happy. Voices are clear and loud.
