Great center speaker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Open box price was too good to pass up. I’m almost at 5.1. Only at 3.1 at the moment. This was the perfect addition and really makes the voices stick out. Good job, Sony.

Nice middle speaker for my sound system
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Added this speaker to my surround sound system because I have a system that uses 5 speakers and I only had 4 speakers. It added some new sound capability, and wasn't too un-affordable. It seems to be a good choice.

Incredible sound

Nice sound for a good price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My small Klipsch center channel was not cutting it, so this is an upgrade. The sound is loud and well balanced. I like how it matches with my Sony bookshelf speakers for the front end of my system.
