Great budget center speaker!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, you will be hard pressed to find anything better. You could probably spend $100 and more and still not gain much. These are an incredible value. Very nice crisp sound.
I would recommend this to a friend Sony Bravia XR A90J compatible
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works good with Sony TV model in Title but not so much with the Sony X85K Series. Although with the titled model It sometimes takes awhile to switch cable TV on after turning on TV hooked up to it. Sometimes you have to use AV remote to switch to CATV-SAT if you were using another connection device like bluray player. Its not an issue and maybe its not setup correctly. I had bad problems with my X85 Sony; the AV keep turning TV back on after turning connected TV off. The only way to get TV to stay off was turn off surge strip outlets. It would reset after that and work fine for a bit until it messed up again and wouldn’t let me turn off TV again. This doesn’t happen with my XR A90J model.
