Summary:
This is my first centre channel speaker and I am very impressed with the clarity of sound and precision it delivers for a speaker in this price range. It blends in very well with my Infinity Reference 50 mains which are floor standers. The sound-stage is pretty seamless. It handles bass very well and has not faltered on any of the demands that different software has challenged it with. I highly recommend this centre speaker to anyone starting out on home theatre.

Strengths:
Surprisingly clear sound and not overpriced.

Weaknesses:
Spring-clip binding posts.

Summary:
the CS275 is a great piece. its clear and articulate but slightly inefficient. well, this is partly my problem becuase i mixed speakers in my home theater. i have Infinity main speakers and Infinity surrounds. the Infinitys are very sensitive, so to compensate for the comparatively inefficient CS275 i have to crank the center channel volume up to almost +10 DB before it sounds balanced. overall, this is a great center channel for what it costs.

Summary:
I purchased this center channel from Crutchfield for $200. Being a poor college student I'd have to say that this center channel can hold it's own. The sound is very clear and the detail very nice.
I'm just a casual movie watcher and I'd have to say that this center channel does a great job reproducing the movie experience.
