Very Good Center Speaker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This center speaker sounds very good. It’s easy to understand dialogue and gets pretty loud without distortion. I have it hooked up to a Sony 790 receiver.

Impressive!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Sony Core Series speakers from the floorstanding towers to the center channel to the bookshelf speakers to the subwoofer to pair with the Sony STR-DN1080 AVR for a Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 setup and the sound is amazing! I upgraded from a Sony soundbar and what a difference! I am definitely impressed and glad I switched! Get the entire setup on special to make it even more worth it!

Great Center Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded my system that was 20 years old. I wanted Atmos sound. I bought this in addition to four Sony Atmos enabled speakers for my Sony STR-DH790 7.1 Receiver. It works great in my space and the sound is wonderfully inviting. I use it as part of a 5.1.2 pattern. Gaming sound is also amazing.

Great Receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this receiver to replace an old Pioneer product. I was not disappointed. The receiver delivers terrific sound and was easy to hook up.
I would recommend this to a friendBest Speakers I've ever owned for HT use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm using these speakers as an upgrade to the tiny satellite speakers found in my Yamaha Home Theater System YHT-399UBL. I also got the Sony Core bookshelf speakers and together they now make up the front left, center, and right of my 5.1 speaker setup (other speakers are still the Yamaha supplied ones). The sound quality from these speakers is excellent for the money, size, and for my purposes (watching BD movies, Netflix streaming, console gaming, and some HD cable TV watching). Music also sounds great, though I don't use it much for that (unless you count music in movies and games). One thing worth mentioning is right now the sub woofer I'm using is not able to compete with these speakers too well and so the low end seems to be lacking vs. the mid range and high end. That's not a fault of these speakers, just the sub woofer's limitations (50 watts RMS, 8-inch driver). So, I'll need to upgrade the sub woofer so that the low end can match the great mid range and high end these Sony Cores can provide. For that, I'm looking at the Dayton Audio SUB-1200, which sells for around $125 and has 120 watts RMS and a long throw 12-inch driver.

Perfect
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Combined with Sony Receiver, Sony Subwoofer, and 4 surround sound speakers from another brand. The center speaker adds the percect touch to hear dialogue and allows surround speakers to focus on ambiance/music.

Amazing Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker is fantastic. Bought it after returning a soundbar system. Speaker has very clear sound quality. My wife had no clue that the sound would make a different with this speaker vs the soundbar. She was blown away and so was I. And to top it all off, I was $80 during Black Friday. Qudos to me!!!
I would recommend this to a friendWell priced speaker with good sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, this speaker delivers. While I personally think it is a little big overall, the sound produced is crisp and clear. Its great for voice tones and its not too much bass. They are smaller tweeters than what you find in some other copper plated expensive eye candy speaker pieces....but I think they deliver well on those highs. Overall, why pay more when this does what a center channel should and it does it well.

Sony 2 way center speaker
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first I thought I didn't need the center speaker because I already have the book shelf speakers. So I went out and bought one just to prove myself right and that I didn't need one. Well I was wrong this speaker is loud and clear. If you don't have one I suggest you get it. you will be missing out.
