    I was looking for a center speaker with solid sound - which Sony always delivers - that wasn't too large for my shelf. This was a perfect fit on both counts.

    This center speaker added an additional dimension of sound to playing multi-channel videos. Dialogue is easy to hear, even over a lot of background sound, like in chase scenes. The price is quite reasonable for the quality of sound it provides.

    This speaker is bigger then my tv stand. I’m serious it blocked the screen, I had to relocate my PS4 to make room. It sounds fancy.
