Customer Ratings & Reviews

I upgraded my bedroom's center channel from a "speakers-in-a-box" setup. This center channel speaker is a great upgrade. Are there better center channels? Probably. For my use, this speaker is perfect. There is way more clarity from my shows/movies, on this channel. Thumbs up!

Speaker sounds great and fits into my system very well. It also fits on my mantle perfectly, under my TV.

Could you get a better center channel? Yes. Can you get a better one for this price? No. Not only is it good for the price, it's pretty good period. I have this with sony's other core speakers and it matches very well (obviously). You can set it up however you'd like but with my receiver, I bumped the level up about 4 db, and set the crossover to 80 hz and dialed the treble up a tad as well.

Awesome sound quality, and really loud!! Handles my 700 watt surround system perfectly!

What an upgrade from my entry level Onkyo 7.1 set up. I bought the Sony STRDN1080 A/V Receiver. It did a better job than the Onkyo but it was being held back by the small cheap speakers that came with the Onkyo. So the next month I bought this center channel speaker along with the left and right front speakers recommended by Sony. The difference is night and day. Next month i will be adding the Atmoss speakers followed by the side surround speakers from Sony.

We've upgraded our TV and receiver over the last year but were still using a 25 yr old Cambridge center channel speaker. This Sony speaker resulted in a very much improved center channel. Of course it was easy to set up as the speaker wire was already there. If you don't currently have a center channel speaker, just run speaker cable from the receiver to the speaker. Nothing special or fancy is needed. You might have to change your receiver settings to get the most value out of it.

Small but powerful. Doesn't overtake the entertainment center yet still gives the punch for sports b

This is my first Home Theater setup and bought these speakers as part of it. Excellent sound quality and Bass. I liked it very much.

Great product, sounds great, quality good, recommend

Anything Sony is superb. Wasn't sure if I really needed a center speaker, but this just made the dialogue and sound so much clearer. This speaker made a wonderful addition to my system.

Adding this to my set up made a huge difference. I was used to using my tv as the center channel, but when I switched to using optical out on it, it disabled the built in speakers. So I played the volume up to hear talking then volume down when it was too loud. Adding this in made a huge difference and is so much better than using the tv speakers.

Great sound. Supports up to 145W Speaker is larger than it looks in-store but I am very happy with it. Great addition to your surround sound system.

It delivers rich, dynamic audio that offers faithful sound reproduction and energetic vocal response with powerful bass tones.

Bought this to go with my sony reciever and sony bookshelf speakers and its aweosme , aweosme sound and can hear every word spoken wether its a game or movie .

Great buy! The sound quality is phenomenal and does not disappoint, especially for the price.

Not a bad center speaker at all especially for the price. I did return cause my klipsch fronts were just overpowering the center. But it is a good speaker as long as the rest of your system doesn’t over power it.

In general, I'm very impressed with the Sony Core Series. It's probably your best bet in this price range. In my opinion, they sound better than the Polks, and if you can get these on sale (every two weeks or so), it's a great buy. The cabinet isn't wood, so it could look better-- I buy my audio equipment for sound not aesthetics; so, in my opinion this is irrelevant--, but it's definitely sturdy.

Great 2 way center speaker sounds is great very good price but i did get them on sale for half off.

I love it. Sound quality is excellent with plenty of depth and clear high end. For the price, this is well worth it. I'm sure some high-end folks will cluck their tongues and shake their heads and wonder what's to be done with this clown recommending an entry-level speaker, but combined with the Core series bookshelf speakers (which I also recommend unreservedly) this adds to a solid 5.1 system.

Great speakers and even better price!!!! Pair these with a powered sub and you have a rocking sound!
