Review 1 of 12

Price Paid:  $99.00 from EGGHEAD

Summary:
THIS OVERALL IS A GOOD CENTER CHANNEL. THOUGH I PERSONALLY THINK IF THEY PUT IN A TWEETER HORN INSTEAD OF THE DOME TWEETER IT WOULD SOUND ALOT BETTER. I MAY EXPERIMENT AND SEE IF I CAN FIT A KLIPSCH HORN IN IT.! BUT FOR 100.00 BUCKS THERE IS NOTHING AROUND THAT WILL COME CLOSE TO IT.

Strengths:
SOLID BUILT,WOOFERS ARE NOT PAPER, LOOKES NICE AND BIG

Weaknesses:
LACK OF HIGHS AND VOICE DETAIL

Review 2 of 12

Price Paid:  $100.00

Summary:
TO START OFF WITH THIS IS A AWESOME LOOKING CENTER CHANNEL. IT PRODUCES GOOD SOUND FOR MOVIES AND RADIO. ITS A MONSTER AT 27" LONG.
THE ONLY THING THAT THEY NEED TO DO IS INCREASE THE TWEETER SIZE OR INSTEAD OF A SOFT DOME, PUT IN A 90 X 60 HORE TWEETER LIKE ALMOST ALL OF KLIPSCH SPEAKERS.

Strengths:
SOLID BUILT. DRIVERS ARE NOT PAPER

Weaknesses:
TWEETER COULD BE LOUDER

Review 3 of 12

Summary:
I didn't find anything super impressive with this center channel. Lots of bass, but poor voice clarity. I did a comparison between the CM Wide and an Infinity that I used before. The CM Wide in my opinion was very muddy. It just didn't have the nice clean punch and the voice clarity the Infinty has. The construction seems to be solid with good connectors. The price was good, but you get what you pay for. Higher price doesn't always mean great sound or quality. I paid slightly more for the Infinity

Strengths:
Not much

Weaknesses:
mids and highs

Review 4 of 12

Price Paid:  $119.00 from egghead.com

Summary:
I just received this last night. I watched a couple of DVD's and it sounds just like I were in a movie theater. The sound is a little nasal as someone else pointed out, but voices sound nasal in movie theaters. For music, the sound is good. The build construction looks top notch. The speaker has four mid range speakers and one tweeter. It doesn't produce bass, but if you have good front speakers and a good subwoofer, you won't notice.

I have an infinity delta center on my other DD system and I think it has better fidelity, but it doesn't fill a room as well as this center channel. I prefer the infinity for a small to mid-size room (Up to 300 sq ft) and this for a larger room. I have it setup in my basement. The listening area is about 25' x 15' and it sounds better in the basement than my inifinity and the infinity sounds better in my family room (20'x12').

All in all this is an excellent center channel speaker. I can hear conversation loud and clear.

Strengths:
Good Sounding. Gold binding posts.
