Pros & Cons

Pros

For bose haters and criticizers. After researching it at length there were mixed reviews with many negative comments. I'm not really sure why so many people seem to dislike this speaker.

Audessy 2eq (the auto sound setup) is really easy to do. Custom bracket was made with four screws in the top of the speaker and two screws into the ceiling joist. The sound is perfect for just about anyone who wants great home surround.

I grabbed this one mainly because i appreciated its low profile styling. Plus it matches the bose aucousitmass iii speakers that i've been using for the r & l channels. Will purchase more bose speakers to match.

Polk audio for the woofer. Onkyo receiver is a real amazing piece o tech for its price. I have it paired with polk bookshelf speakers in the front, a yamaha subwoofer and yamaha rear channel and everything seems fine to me.

Great sound for the price; no noticeable harmonic distortion. I prefer a richer, fuller bass. Great sound from small enclosure.



Cons

This speaker has an incredibly small footprint. The best advice i can give is to go listen to the speaker for yourself and inspect the construction. I have two presence channel $15 klh speakers that sound better than this.

Quality


I am pleased with the product and the timely delivery after placing tghe order with amazon.


The sound quality is excellent for our home theater system.


The improvement in center channel surround sound quality was instantly noticeable.


Sound quality is excellent - simple to install - only suggestion for bose is to figure out how to make it just a little smaller...  Read More

Price


Great speaker - can't beat the price.


I do think the price is too high for what you get and part of my decision was based on my ability to purchase the speaker for l...  Read More


The only center speaker that fit my dimensional need (and reasonable price) is this one.

Shipping


Great quality, nice price, especially with free shipping.

Competitiveness


Right now i have a 500w pioneer receiver, 150w jbl sub, the bose 161s as my fronts and this baby set up as my center.


I matched it with a bose acoustimass system and it works great.


The lifestyle and acoustimass systems are overpriced and don't do the job.


I suppose if you are a high-end audiophile there is always something better but for most people this will do the trick.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I felt like i was gambling by buying this speaker given the number of negative reviews


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This speaker has a tiny footprint and is placed below my hdtv on its original stand and it doesnt block any of the screen


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Dont understand the bad ratings


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I believe it is a very good product even though you cannot find it in the store anymore


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For those that gave this speaker crappy review i suspect they either dont use sub or perhaps their receiver is not doing a good job of separating the sound


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you dont have a sub and are not planning to get one dont buy this speaker


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For those people out there complaining about lack of bass on this speaker remember its a center channel not a subwoofer
