Great sound, voice clear and rich.

Yep, it's a good one. I was using a semi-old Infinity Sterling center channel with my system, but it wasn't great. This Polk is hooked up to my new Denon AVR 3803 and sounds exquisite. I also am using a pair of INfinity Crescendo towers as my front L/R and a pair of Polk Dipoles and then a large pair of Polk bookshelf speakers and a Velodyne SPL II 12" for the system. The center channel sounds great, it, along with the soundfield in general is very rich. This is a good buy. And yes, the speaker is large. If you are looking for a good quality center channel that isn't too expensive, now is the time to get it. This model is being discontinued and is marked off a lot.

Infinity Sterling center channel

multi-dimensional, clean crisp high notes. this seems to me to be the failing of most center channels. not tinny at all. another failing of many units

the wire connectors worked themselves loose after about 3 months and I lost the high notes until i figured it out. It drove me crazy!

I had purchased 3 center channels over the last 3 years and had searched in vain for the qualities that were important to me until i came across this unit. The price was somewhere I really didn't want to go but after 2 failed attempts to achieve the sound I was after, decided it was time to take the plunge. Speakers in the $125 to $150 dollar price range seemed one dimensional in tone to me. The most noticeable difference being a marked absence of clean crisp high notes. The Polk speaker truly excels in this area. When I hooked it up, I remember thinking "AT last, After all this frustration." I am finally very happy with the sound of my system. The center channel is paired with a set of large vintage Advents as the fronts, a set of large vintage pioneer 3 ways as the rear a nice tenchniques powered sub, and a panasonic surround back. The Stereo unit is a panasonic high current sa-he200 av control receiver. As crazy as it sounds, it works exceptionally well together. I recommend the center channel whole heartedly.

i bought these speakers as a clearance item so the price was really low. For a centre speaker this speaker produces a lot of bass, even more so than some bookshelf speakers. if you dont like a bass heavy centre than you probably wouldnt like this speaker very much. I personally like speakers that produce a lot of bass, so this center was perfect for me. This speaker is so big i cant even fit it on top of my tv...

This is a great price for an outstanding center channel speaker. I purchased it at www.acousticsounddesign.com where the service was excellent. The speaker meshes reasonably well with my old Polk monitor 10s which I have been reluctant to give up.

I thought it looked much better than other speakers I shopped for. I've never heard anything better (friends systems)

None that I know of

Final piece of my surround system and I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. My wife loves it and she hates my surround sound (that says a lot) I bought it only for Polk reputation, price, and look of speaker
