    I bought it to replace an Yamaha speaker that came with my home Theater system, the difference is notable, clear sound and much more power.

    Sounds great. Connected to my new Sony Amp. and also connected the two Sony Shelf speakers. The sound is clear and crisp. Great for home stereo. And, it's a SONY - NO BOLOGNY!

    This is one of the best center channel speakers you can get before you get to the Magnolia by Best Buy level components.

    This product is a great intro to home surround sound, especially when on sale. Works well with the sony bookshelf speakers in the series.

    Great Starter Center Channel Speaker

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I owned this speaker for a few years and can definitively say it is a tremendous upgrade when paired with the other Sony 3 Series speakers as compared to a sound bar or the TV's speakers. The center speaker is arguably the most important speaker in a surround sound setup and this speaker does a great job with sound clarity. Action scenes, sports, and people's voices in general sound very clear through this speaker. This is a great budget starter center channel speaker for those looking to get into home theater type audio. You will not be disappointed in spending on this versus a sound bar!

    This speaker was more affordable than similar options and is still a really good speaker.

    I get a distorted sound when put at max volume. On the good side easy to set up. I recommend it for a small room.

    Not enough clarity. OK but not great.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was looking for a center channel upgrade speaker for 5.1 sound. I was hoping for more voice clarity as so often in movies the background sounds tend to muffle voices. This speaker is OK but didn’t help with voice clarity.

      Hi Marc,

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience so far with your SSCS8 4" 2-Way Center-Channel Speaker. We value your input regarding the low center channel dialog. To resolve the issue, check the setup menu of your AV receiver to see if you can adjust the center channel output level or adjust the center channel equalization. Also, try playing a different source and perform a test tone operation to check if the speakers are functioning correctly.

    Just OK

    Just OK for the price. Was expecting a bit more punch. Connections on back protrude a lot which can be a problem.

    Not terrible

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I’m pretty picky about my sound system and I used to have 20 year old set up. I ended up upgrading EVERYTHING and went with Sony. I feel this spreader could be better. But I got it on sale so I’m not terribly disappointed. But I definitely would not pay full price for it. Mainly it’s hard to hear. But what sound does come out is very clear so I guess I would recommend if you were on a tight budget.
