B&W LCR60 S3 Center Channels

B&W LCR60 S3 Center Channels 

DESCRIPTION

This is the smaller of two LCR (Left, Centre, Right) models in the range and, like all speakers intended for centre channel use, is magnetically shielded to avoid television picture distortion. This feature is essential should you need to mount either the left or right front speaker close to the television too.

The symmetrical design lends itself to use with the drivers either horizontally or vertically in line. Typically, horizontal orientation would be used in centre speaker applications, where the low profile sits well on top of or directly beneath a television, or if you need to suspend the speaker tilted down from the ceiling. In most other situations, vertical orientation is usually more appropriate.

The twin 130mm (5½-in) drivers allow the LCR60 S3 to match the output capability of the smaller models in the range - DM600 S3, DM601 S3, DM602 S3 and DM602.5 S3 – for which it is the recommended centre speaker. Alternatively, the LCR60 S3 can be used in all front and surround positions of a home theatre for a perfectly matched installation.

Strength:

Smoothness and Clarity of project voices Good rhythm, scale, and bass Aesthetically pleasing to look at with the grill off

Weakness:

Too baulky to put on top of most TV''s Price may put some people off Is the baby brother of LCR600 Won''t fill out huge rooms due to size

£200 for a centre speaker? Expensive? You get what you pay for and this speaker delivers. Movie dialogue is rich and clear its hard not to enjoy the way voices are projected, with great smoothness and warmth. This centre really does well with music adding a lot more thump and scale to the rest of my system. There are a whole host of cheaper centre speakers out there but at £200 its a small price to pay for a high quality centre speaker. I Definitely recommend you listen to this speaker if you already own B & W speakers, and are looking for a centre to match, you won''t be dissapointed if you like the B & W sound. It''s the perfect match for the original B & W 601 front speakers.
