$54.00
from Sears Summary: For last seven months I had an awesome experience with this speaker for my DVD player, CD player and my PC. I still amazed by the price that I paid for this unit, but I am little disappointed since there wasn't any review for this unit for last seven months. That's one of the reason I am writing a update review for this speaker but I am writing this review because I finally completed my entertainment system.
Now, I use this speaker for watching DVD. For my HT system it produce clear voice and some bass since this speaker have two 5 1/2 inch woofer. This speaker sit top of my TV and fills my living, but like I said before this center maximum power ratting is only 120 watts. This speaker doesn't blend with my two pairs of floorstanding speakers. I watched Matrix, Saving private ryan, Gladiator, Braveheart, Patriot, and Terminator 2 Ultimate package. When I use this speaker for my CD player, it does really kicking arse job. It produce clear vocals, detailed sounds. I always test speaker's clarity by listening to Starwars soundtrack and this speaker do find job at it by producing very nice clear sound. I also listen to Creed, Project 86 and Mario 64 soundtrack. Now for my PC, I use this speaker to watch anime and play PC games. When I watch anime such as, DBZ, I could really tell how clear this speaker reproduce. I also watched anime Dual, Hand maid may, Macross Plus, DBZ movie 2 DVD, Lodoss war DVD, Jubie Chan and Eva. It all sounds good. Now, when I play PC games I play many first person shooters, roleplaying games and Streatgy games. It sounds great with Quake 1,2,3 and unreal Tournament, Starcraft-Broodwar, Darkstone and Diablo 1, 2. I really recommend this speaker for all low-end system oweners, those who are building low-end systems or those who owns low-end floorstanding speakers. It's great using it as an entertainment system center channel. My complain can be easily overcome by the price I paid for. If you see this center channel for less than 60 dollars I say "GO AND BUY IT" but if anyone want to spend more than 100 dollars for a center channel. I would recommend for to get Acoustic Research AR4C or JBL S-center. I am still deciding between Acoustic Research AR4C and JBL S-center. Both of them are around 150 dollars and they both are great center. Well, it's well made Center channel. Don't get it if your system is high end. Thanks! Have a nice day.
