Summary:
An excellent center channel speaker unless it breaks and you need warrany service. My Image 9C blew its tweeter after 4 months. A call to the mail order dealer where I purchased it resulted in a replacement tweeter. I installed the tweeter but still found the sound harsh and shrill. I explained that this speaker still wasn't performing to spec and was instructed to mail it back to the dealer for repair. Got it back a month later in the same condition. No explanation as to what the problem was or what (if anything) was done - nothing! Crossover damage? Defective tweeter? Two letters to PSB have gone unanswered. Conclusion: Their warranty is worthless!

Strengths:
Speaker sounded great for four months.

Weaknesses:
Buyer beware! PSB will not honor their warranty if purchased through the mail. Size - Too large for most direct view televisions. Harsh sounding (Due to unrepaired defect).

Summary:
Coupled with a 9C center channel, 10S surrounds, and a HSU VTF-2, this is a killer HT sound system.

Strengths:
Clear, uncolored, large sound field. Great bang for the buck!

Weaknesses:
The black ash veneer on the 9C and 3LR's looks cheap; I prefer the slightly textured laminate finish of the 10S's.

Summary:
This center channel matches my PSB 6T fronts very well. Smooth transitions from side to center and back. Voices are easily heard. You can hear whispers even though they are not very loud (maybe there is a word for this). Overall this center channel far out-performs my older Def. Tech. center.

Strengths:
voice reproduction, volume, ability to fill the room

Weaknesses:
size- for some

Summary:
I am amazed at the difference in the details of the dialogue when watching movies compared to my old Polk center. Wether listening to music in 5 channel stereo or HT the clarity and smoothness is impressive. It does take some break in time, but its well worth the wait.

I have it matched with the 7PTs & 2Bs, Fantastic system for the money. I paid $1390 for the 7pts, 2bs, and 9c.

Strengths:
Very detailed and smooth. Dialogue is amazingly clear.

Weaknesses:
Size (for some)
