Home theater is NOT a big part of my agenda. I'm still not convinced sound is THAT important in watching movies.
What I wanted was a center speaker that was GOOD enough to at least be in the same room as my Tannoy mains and CHEAP.

Finding this speaker on clearance for $109 was great. Sound is a bit bright and thin but articulate. Build quality is EXCELLENT -- gold binding posts and made in USA.

Clarity

Bass extension, requires careful placement

I echo Brian's review. This is a solid speaker if it can be found for a good price. I had an interesting experience with placement -- put it above the TV closest to and pointing directly at the listening area, which I felt would enhance sound, but lost much of the treble and definition. Place it farther back, which tilted it up a bit, and the highs and the definition came back. Definitely a solid little performer.
