This speaker is great! It’s not by any means the best speaker I’ve ever heard. I was shopping for price and quality and I did find it. This is a great speaker to use if you are on a budget like me! The speaker is very clear and crisp especially on dialog.

I needed a bigger set of speakers that the cat couldn't bat around. I bought this center channel speaker and the matching tower speakers for each side of the TV. The best thing is the ribbon tweeter. Voices are now MUCH clearer and easier to understand.

The only reason that I wanted to upgrade my previous center channel speaker is to make voices easier to hear and clearer. This speaker achieves that. Overall it is not very musical by itself with weak bottom end, but does what I needed it to do.

Really surprised at the quality of this. easily competes with the big name brands like Infinity, Klipsch, Polk.

The only 2 drawbacks are:

1. The 60W RMS would prevent you from blasting it high in a large home theater setup.

2. The placement, like other center speakers it should be placed facing the listener so that the sound matches the view.

None of these drawbacks are specific to just this speaker, and if your listening room is small like a dedicated theater room or in a an apartment, this is the perfect speaker since you'll be listening head on and you dont need it crazy loud.

I have it paired with the Monoprice 12 inch subwoofer and they compliment each other very well.

I can easily recommend getting the full bookshelf set and getting a complete 3.1 sound for your fronts and getting a great setup. Incredible price point for these, really reset my view of whats possible.

Replaced a twenty-five year old KLH speaker at center. It's just fine--would have liked a little more than 60 RMS but that just takes a little adjustment and re-alignment with my old Bose 301 s to balance the output. Could not beat the price!

Great center channel!

Pros:
1. Really good sound quality. Great high frequency detail and very easy to hear dialogue and texture of sounds.
2. Plays loud without distortion for the most part (see cons)
3. Doesn’t sound boxy.
4. Clean build quality with no visible defects.
5. Nice small compact size. I can finally use my receiver without pointing the remote at the ceiling!

Cons:
1. Doesn’t throw a large soundstage, sounds like it’s coming from a small speaker.
2. Some pre 2010 movies have a bit of distortion when yelling is happening, not sure why. But mission impossible for example had no distortion even at my highest comfortable listening level.
3. Has fabric feet which makes it easy to move the center channel, to fix this I would get rubber feet from amazon.
4. I don’t know if it’s just me but it sound like it might not have a crossover since the mid bass drivers feel like they play high frequencies as well when I put my ear up to them.

Overall a really good purchase! This replaces a passive 3 channel sound bar from paradigm that I used as a center channel. In comparison the paradigm sounded very boxy.

For the price I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase this at all.
