there are 2 things you will be amazed at by this product. first is the size of the box it comes in. you have to see how big this speaker is to believe it! its actually much larger than my old harmon kardon receiver. its absolutly huge and heavy so i hope you have a larger sturdy space to put it. fortunately i do. the second thing youll be amazed at the rich, cleary, full range sound that it produces. best ive ever heard. at $199 on amazon, im not sure you can beat the sound from this center channel. i have it paired with the ps212 and 2 beta 50s. together they sound amazing. excellent voice clarity and quality. if you have the space(imagine a small motorcycle) then this speaker is a must have.

This is a truly amazing speaker, visually and sonically. Its not quite as big as everyone makes it out to be, but it is larger than most center channel speakers. It does not produce as much bass as I had expected but I havent spent a whole lot of time with the settings on my reciever either. At this price, you cant go wrong. That is, of course, if you have room for it.

The speakers are amazing as noted in many reviews. I do want to point that they also have the greatest customer service. They answer phone calls right away and emails within 24 hours, and go out of their way to make you happy. Thank you so much Lady B.Wilson. You are an angel.

This is on the large side of center channels. My TV (32" Samsung flat LCD) sits on top of the center channel. It is very clear and generates great sound. I you want people to know you have a center, than get this bad boy. It says "look at me, im awesome"

-This is an incredible center channel speaker, even more so considering the price on Amazon. Pros: Three-way, four-driver design w/ dual 6.5-inch woofers, a 4-inch midrange, and a 1-inch dome tweeter, all CMMD drivers. Great sound at all levels. Sounds great for movies, good low end punch, and nice for music too.
-Only con might be size; however, after having gone from much smaller speakers & a Bose center channel, I will not go back due to the increase in sound, detail, & power you get from a larger speaker. I was able to mount on wall w/ shelving hardware for about $10 to help minimize size impact.
--Highly recommend this speaker. For the $ you cant find a better sounding speaker.

c360:
1. Center speaker needs 2 person team lift... This is huge.
2. You may need to buy new entertainment furniture in order to accomodate this speaker (I did)
3. If you want a stylish addition to your living room....stop reading this review right now and look else were.
If you are game with above..the quality and price cannot be beat...hands down. It is worth all the effort for me. If you are not a music lover..dont worry this speaker will make you passionate lover very soon. I am begining to like music and songs I did not like much with my previous speaker system. It handles dialogue in a movie to perfection.
If you planning to buy this speaker please consider following...
1. get a good reciever, use HDMI where you can.
2. In my opinion these speaker will over power any sized televison.. better for a projection screen if you are setting up home theater.
3. Dont insert weeny wires... buy proper prethreaded connection cables which runs up to 30 dollars per speaker in amazon.
4. use front speaker and subwoofer from the same family if you can afford it... I could not afford it but I bought it anyway!
If you have been watching movies for the visual...after this family of speakers you will start watching movies/ videos for the music.

This speaker is huge for a center. Bring this monster home and be ready for a domestic dispute with the wife. Im speaking from personal experience. Its like putting your sub-woofer on top of your T.V. This is a very good speaker. It has the looks, weight, and sound quality of a full sized stand-up. I agree with the other reviewer. Not much to add there. Music with this speaker sounds "full". If you can win the battle at home, this is worth keeping. On a side note though, for 1/2 the $, the c250 is more practical and sounds almost as good. I think its a better deal for the price, but after using this one, I cant go back to something thats almost as good. E Expo is great and ships fast, no problems and good customer support. They delivered a replacement grill for me that was falling apart.

I bought one of these last week, not sure what to expect after reading how it was very large. Well very large does begin to describe this behemoth, no way to fit this sucker in a shelf : BE WARNED. Lucky for me I was setting it atop a very sturdy(thank god) entertainment center, which my tv sits in front of. Now on to the sonic qualities. Im using this speaker with a set of Definative BP 8 S in front and great old pair of M&K s Sats in back, along with a Yamaha 315 Subwoofer(shameless PLUG INSERT look for my review on it) :) all this comes together well with my Yamaha 5990 HTR. A note to all any good speaker takes a certain amount of break in time before it sounds its best. Known fact.
So I started out with a nice dose of Saving Private Ryan. I find it to be a good test of movie quality special effects and different tones of voice. The voices were clear and deep, the sounds of gunfire and explosions were perfect. This speaker already made my old Sony sound tinny and hollow. After this movie I thought it was time for a music DVD first up Pearl Jam "Touring Band 2001" WOW what great sound, everything from Eddies voice to the banging guitar, was clear loud and rocking.
Next I popped in the LED ZEPPELIN special DVD with all the old great songs live. I was floored by the quality of this speaker to Bring it on home.
I cant wait until it breaks in a bit and gets a little softer edge. If you have room for this speaker and its in your budget, go for it! You can do better on $ if you look around the net a bit. One warning I would not place it on my TV for fear of it crushing it JK. For the price and range of where this speaker is you cant do better without at least spending twice as much.
