Great budget speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great budget speaker "when on sale! 50% off" improved my 3.1 system tremendously! I don't ask for much, but for the average middle of the road movie audio person it a huge improvement! My wife agrees, so I'll end this review.

Pretty good for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these along with the Sony core series bookshelf speakers and the Sony sub from Best Buy. They don't quite match the bookshelf speakers, and require a bit of fine tuning in the receiver. I am quite happy with it and would recommend it for movies. Maybe it's my tuning, but I would still like to play around with it to make sure that the voices sound natural. Great price at Best Buy when it was on sale.

Sony Center Speaker
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Such great quality of sound from the center speaker. Dialogue is important to me when watching movies and this speaker seemed to balance out the surround noise that can often drown out the dialogue.

Very clear dialogue
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having the dialogue from shows or movies separated out from the background sounds and music makes it much easier to understand what's being said and follow along. This speaker has great clarity and makes the dialogue stand out very clear from the rest of the sounds.
