Works with other speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a center channel speaker to go with an older set of speakers. They work seamlessly and are a good value for the price.
I would recommend this to a friend This product met the reviews responses.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our center speaker on the surround sound was an older model and developed a crack. Replacing the whole unit not only saves a hassle of repair, but probable new issues that arise. This speaker fit perfectly into our environment.

Fits the bill but lacks in Core Series sound
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent center channel speaker I dont like that it lacks depth in the sound profile. if you need something that doesnt take up much space then this would be a solid choice. if not go for a true 3-way center channel
