Price Paid:  $600.00

Summary:
I own a DT Pro Cinema 100 system and have for some time, thought that the PRO 100 Centre could have a fuller and larger sound stage. Recently I got the chance to trade my Centre in for a CLR1000B. What a difference it makes to my system. This speaker has great bass and a full rich sound (clear). I was really after a good speaker to make voice in movies full bodied and this is exactly what I now have. Listened to the "Man Who Wasn't There" and the dialogue sounds very impressive and full. My system is 4 x DT Cinema Pro 100 and 1 x Pro 100 Sub, Denon AVR3200 AMP and now the CLR 1000B centre. Obviously had to rebalance the system a bit and am very happy with the results. Retail was $920 for the 1000B but I got a trade in on my old centre and paid $600AUS change over. This speaker has enhanced Dolby Pro Logic sound of my setup to great effect - it was sound setting that I never bothered with before this speaker; always preffered Dennon 5 channel stereo. My wife who loves musicals could tell the differnce with this speaker straight away and enjoys the sound as much as I do. Definately worth a listen if you're in the market.

Strengths:
Wide soundstage. Great dynamic range. Good Bass without loss of clarity. Performs brilliantly on voice. Great for mono soundtracks of old musicals.

Weaknesses:
Size may be an issue for some. Cost and availability in Australia (but better than opposition at same price).

Similar Products Used:
DT PRO 100 Centre. B&W Centre.
