Looks great and sounds great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have this paired with the Core floor and bookshelf speakers, as well as an older Sony subwoofer. It sounds great with the other speakers, and fits in well with the look of my home theater. Sony delivers on an inexpensive but quality speaker set in the Core speakers. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent value, clear dialog
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't have incredibly high expectations for this given the sale price that I paid, but it totally fixed muffled, wimpy dialog from my smaller JBL Cinema 610 center speaker. Much crisper sound. Also great with music.

Nice Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased for a center speaker set to complete my 5.1 surround setup. They have great sound quality and a nice design. The box is kinda heavy but that just assures quality of the box itself. Definitely happy with the buy and a very reasonable price for Sony.

Great Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace an aging RCA speaker and wow, the difference in the vocals was obvious right away. Nice accurate sound. Nice punch. A little larger than my previous speaker but the wife hasn't said anything yet. Another nice feature; it was on sale.

Very good center channel speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker sounds great. It's clear and handles dialogue very well. It replaces a speaker that's more than 16 years old and puts it to shame. It also looks very good. It handles all the power my receiver puts out with no problem. I have nothing bad to say about this speaker.

Amazing center channel
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reading several reviews on center channels I went to my local Best Buy to put them to the test. In the end the Sony had the best overall quality for the price. Amazing difference from my original center channel, you can actually hear what is being said.

Clear voice center speaker but need subwoofer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent center speaker, but not stand alone. I installed this center before the subwoofer was purchased and the voices were clear but lost the lows. My setup is a 5.1 in a 20 x 30 room and this center speaker was a must for clear voice.

Fantastic Clarity
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our medium size rectangle/almost square size room is perfect for this speaker combined with the two front Sony core tower speakers. Definitely delivers the sound quality/voices come through clearly with music or action sequences at the same time. Would buy again!
I would recommend this to a friend Excellent speaker, especially for the price
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound out of this center channel speaker. You should pair it with 2 front speakers and 2 back speakers to get the full experience. Since this is manually wired it takes a bit more work to setup than soundbars, but the quality vs price is really solid and worth the effort
