, from Englishtown, NJ Summary:
I first brought this sleeper of a center channel for my father on Christmas Day in 1995. We connected it via straight wire to a Sony ES Receiver and we received a satisfying sound. However, after a break-in period we were less than happy with the sound. It was entirely too laid back in its presentation. Well, suffice it to say, this was remedied quickly. Later, we picked up a Chiro C-3 amplifier and switched to better speaker wire (TaraLabs). I could not believe the difference in the sound.
The speaker jumped to life. The midrange seemed to give a greater sense of depth while retaining its clean sound. The midbass became more neutral and less rich. The sound became more full bodied and the speaker began to preserve the music's texture. For a budget center channel, you can do no wrong with this speaker. This speaker is harmonically balanced correctly and the listener will appreciate the engineering that went into this speaker. Two thumbs up. Strengths:
Gorgeous looking speaker and well built. The black lacquer finish looks nice sitting atop the Pioneer elite HD sets. Other strengths include a clean midrange/midbass with an open, full-bodied sound especially on contemporary jazz. Weaknesses:
On certain films dialogue can be slightly lack intelligibility. It requires correct placement and high-quality amplification. Similar Products Used:
