    I returned the definitive technologies procenter 10000 and bought this one. I intially had the micca MB42-C and i thought that speaker was big but not loud enough. I had to raise the volume at night and it used to disturb my family when watching tv. I wanted to get a nice clear center channel speaker, So i got the definitive technologies procenter 1000 and the quality was good but i did not feel it was worth it. Then i got this one at $73 and its made a good difference in my movie vocal quality and also playing songs at all stereo mode. I think its a good looking , better sounding that the definitive speaker. Get it!!

    Set up literally took 2 minutes. Sound quality is great and I’m very happy with the purchase. Replaced a smaller Sony center channel on 5.1 system and this thing is solid.

    I had about $450 to spend on a center channel. I auditioned many well above that price range. I bought a martinlogan 8 center channel and regretted it after. I just thought electrostatic cannot be beat when it comes to clarity of voice. Well I sold it on ebay due to having hard time understanding all types of voices. Only females sounded ok on them. After 3 years of homework and auditioning the sony's for me cannot be beat.

    This is the second of three reviews I’m making for this entire audio system. The audio quality is beyond amazing. The tower speakers were a hazard for our baby we just had. This speaker has a soft mesh in front and I didn’t want to risk the baby poking holes in it. The entire speaker system is amazing. Buy it now!

    I purchased this Speaker to replace a smaller Polk Audio Center Speaker that was not producing voice audio loud enough. Originally I purchased the Polk Audio Center Speaker that had the same specifications but it would not fit into our cabinet so I exchanged it for the Sony. The Audio has improved 100 per cent. No more having to raise the volume to hear voice audio. We have two other Sony core tower speakers and the the sound and quality is exceptional. On our system we also use Polk Audio speakers for surround and subwoofer.

    It is bigger than it looks. Almost bookshelf sized in other brands. So far it has been very clear and works well with my 7.2.2 system. Also Sony receiver STR-DN1080, four Sony floorstanding speakers, two Sony Dolby Atmos height speakers and two Acoustic Audio 600W 15 inch Subwoofers. I got this on sale for Memorial day at $99.99 and it is worth the price. A very good system setup, replacement for an older Sony receiver with LG tallboy speakers and center channel. Would definitely buy again if I was in the market for a new center channel.

    This Sony center speaker sounds great and has a very clear tone to it without any noticeable hiss. It is slightly bigger than a usual center speaker but it’s heavy enough to instill confidence in my purchase. I would recommend to a friend.
