    This was a great value for really good sound at a reasonable price when I picked it up during a Sony sale - was well worth the $ spent.

    Purchased this Sony Center-Channel speaker because so many of the new dvd's require it otherwise, the voices get lost during a movie due to the music and sound effects overwhelming them.

    I needed a center channel speaker to go with an older set of speakers. They work seamlessly and are a good value for the price.

    Our center speaker on the surround sound was an older model and developed a crack. Replacing the whole unit not only saves a hassle of repair, but probable new issues that arise. This speaker fit perfectly into our environment.

    Decent center channel speaker I dont like that it lacks depth in the sound profile. if you need something that doesnt take up much space then this would be a solid choice. if not go for a true 3-way center channel

      Hi Moses,
      Thank you for your time writing this review. We're sorry to hear we were not able to meet your expectations with the sound quality of the speaker. Allow us to help make this a better experience. If possible, try setting the Audio/Video (A/V) receiver to a different Surround Sound mode and check the speaker wires to make sure they are properly connected to the A/V receiver. You may also try some solutions on this link if the sound level of the speaker is low: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wired-speakers/ss-cs8/articles/00032769
