Excellent budget center speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You really can't go wrong for the price. I mean 120 bucks open box at best buy, after taxes. High end it is not, but for this price, I am very happy with this purchase. No I am not an audiophile by any means, but i do enjoy some good music at loud volume and movies that provide that theater experience. Certainly spending 400 on klipsch would give me a better experience, but for this price and a 100 watt per channel amplifier, I'm very happy.

Decent speaker for the money.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these on sale, so the price was right. Bought the whole set and they fill our 16 x 16 basement room very nicely. Banana clip post on the back broke off, but I am still able to connect with a raw lead instead.
