Most times in life, you get what you pay for. There are however, rare exceptions where you feel that you got more than you paid for. This is one of those times.Yeah, I love to hear the booming cannons in Master and Commander, and the sound of MG-42 bullets whizzing by in Band of Brothers, but I also want to hear what the actors are saying and it gets a little tougher when you’re middle aged. There is good voice clarity, accuracy and depth in this speaker – I’m hearing lines of dialogue on my DVDs that I hadn’t noticed before.

I wasn’t sure how it would sound with my old B&W front channel speakers, but the frequency range seems pretty close so it sounds like a good sonic match. The vocal range is very good and the sound is definitely beefier than the Pinnacle that had been my center channel speaker. Darth Vader’s resonant voice sounds like James Earl Jones, not like David Spade. Also, I’m not sure what they’ve done with the tweeter but the highs don’t sound shrill or tinny at all when the volume gets cranked (driven by my Pioneer VSX-1015TX @ 120 watts).
Finally, I know that “heft” is a cliché in consumer electronics but this speaker is solid, with a good finish. Apparently low price doesn’t mean skimping on construction or looks.
Given that I wasn’t paying for the overhead of advertising or distribution through a retailer, it’s not too surprising that the prices are great. Now, if The Speaker Company only had a nice iPod docking station for the wife …
Your speaker has added another dimension to my sound system. GREAT product at a GREAT price. Can't think of any reason to go elsewhere. Thanks again. g.
A center channel speaker is essential to give voice its presence in a movie or multichannel broadcast. The Speaker Company center channel does this effortlessly. The bonus is what it adds to music. i have front speakers that are quite a bit more expensive than the center channel. The center adds dimension without any detriment to the sound. i highly recommend it over center speakers six times more expensive. i recommend The Speaker Company to anyone looking for high quality loudspeakers at a great bargain price!

I have a hearing problem with voices. Your front center channel speaker improved the system so much that I can hear every word spoken. It has made my enjoyment of television and movies much, much greater. My wife comments nearly every night about "how much better it is". Thank You for great speaker at a very reasonable price.Jack C.
