A must for your system
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first, I thought why get this speaker, but after I hooked it up I realized its a vital component to complete sound, especially at the direct front of the system. Really! It was well worth the investment and made listening to movies so much more exciting!
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

Great Center Speaker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Center Speaker at a great sale price. The Sony speaker reproduces the midrange faithfully to enhance the dialogue to my 7.1 receiver. For a smaller sized box speaker it showed no obvious signs of distortion and could handle the power easily.

Pick it up on sale
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great bang for you buck speakers. If you are not a huge audiophile, these are great for the price, assuming you get them on sale. Did some research on speakers before purchasing and most agree that the sale price makes it a no brainer for entry level speakers.

Nice match to Sony core bookshelfs
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Sony center to match with the core bookshelf speakers also from Sony. I bought it on sale from Best Buy, but feel it's worthy of the full price purchase. It sounds great for movies and adds depth to dialogue and music alike.

Great speakers for a one bedroom apartment.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a 22 year old SONY stereo. It has given me years of pleasure listening to my music. One of the speakers was in need of repair, so I visited the Best buy store at Destiny Mall for replacements. I looked at less expensive speakers, and landed on these SONY speakers. They match well with my old SONY stereo. These speakers ensure that I will continue to enjoy this stereo that I received as a 40th birthday present at my "Grateful Dead theme" surprise birthday party for many more years.

Nice sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Placement will make a difference with this speaker. I placed it on my fireplace and was totally satisified but when I mounted it to the wall just below my TV it made the system come alive. I am awe struck at the quality of my system now.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has been a game changer to my speaker set up. Voices were not in sync with ceiling speaker but now works great. Nice sound. Definitely better setting in front of television.

Really love this center speaker.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't need the top-of-the-line speakers for my surround sound system, but my old center speaker was not cutting it. I had my eye on a replacement Sony speaker and when it went on sale I jumped on it. Very good sound for the price.

Must if you want dialog.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I hated having to max my volume on my TV just so I can hear decent dialog. This is a must if you have that same issue. Watching a documentary on hulu as I write this and I am very happy. Voices are clear and loud.

Sony speakers
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exactly what my older receiver needed. This completed my full surround sounds instead of investing in a new sound bar. Expected quality from Sony.
