Review 1 of 8

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
The speaker is being used as a center speaker in my high definition home theater surround sound system. It works outstanding in comparison to other center speakers used in the past (JBL & Technics). Natural sounds without any high distorted noise even with my very old Technics receiver. I can only say Klipsch delivers again without degradation of sound. I’m watching the Wizard of Oz on my big screen 44 inch Sony TV and had to put down that this unit works just fine. Cannot wait till my Denon or Pioneer AV receiver get back from the repair shop.

I tried to post a picture of my speaker and was not able to.

Review 2 of 8 , from Orange County, CA

Price Paid:  $85.00 from Used at Audio swap meet

Summary:
This is the first and only center channel speaker I have owned. I use it in my HT setup, powered by a Harman-Kardon amp, with DCM KX-6's as my left and right channel speakers in the front, and they all work fine together. I got all 3 speakers for under $200, total, and they work great! I would highly recommend this combination to anyone seeking good sound on a budget.

Strengths:
Clear, natural sound. Can play loud without distorting, rattling, buzzing, etc.

Weaknesses:
None for the price
