Great center channel
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have some very large speakers and needed something to push them. We started with these thinking we were going to have to buy something else. But absolutely not! This thing pushes every bit of the sounds that we were hoping for

Great central speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This central speaker provides high quality audio for the voice channel of the movie. The only good use for this speaker is for watching movies, for another reason it's not really used. When watching 5.1 surround movies, this speaker rocks!

Center Channel is Helpful
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm satisfied with this center channel speaker, which we're using with a Sony 7.1 system. I delayed a long time to buy it because we don't watch a lot of movies and I wasn't sure it would add anything to music alone. But I'm finding it does add to music without compromising the stereo separation (as I had thought it might). And it's a valuable addition when we do watch movies, helping clarify the dialog (although maybe not as much as I'd expected).

Great home theater addition
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This center channel is a must if you have either the Sony core series bookshelf speakers or the floor standing speakers. It’s night and day after hooking up this center channel to the rest of my receiver set up.

Now I Can Hear the Dialogue!
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wasn't ready to commit to replacing the entire sound system but found myself using closed caption more than I would like to admit. This speaker was the solution! Brought my system back to life and no more closed caption!

Great Value Purchase
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After setting up my home AV Entertainment System, I realized that I need a center speaker. I tried Soundbars but the sound delay was prohibitive. I found this gem on sale and it’s been a great edition to my surround sound system.

The best value for money

Very good for price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good speaker for the money, but if you don't have semi-good speakers that it will be completing against it will blow them away and make you want to replace those speakers because the sound quality is so good!

Pretty Good, Not Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm currently looking to rebuild my home theater system. Got this to try with new Sony L/R front speakers. I compared this center speaker to my current center Klipsch and they were pretty close in quality. They sound nice enough, but don't really have much kick to them. As I didn't like the Sony L/R's I wound up returning the center as well to keep the center that matches my current L/R's, but otherwise not a bad speaker.
