Truly the best center channel i've ever listened to.Exceptional clean and articulate sound and perfect seamless integration with front speakers(Linn AV5140),a pleasure to use movie after movie.Male voices sound incredible without trace of nasal or muffled sound.As quality loudspeakers do you don't really listen it,it recreates the illusion that voices and effects come from the screen and can handle easily peak levels from the most demanding sountracks.One of the best bargains on the market and extremely versatile(also bi wiring,bi amping and aktiv bi or tri amping for further improved performance)and nice finiture too.Five star!
