Excellent Entry Level Center Channel Speaker

 

I have the matching 7.1 set of this series and they are all an excellent entry level speakers. Clean sound, classic look, and easy set up. They are all banana plug compatible. I would recommend the whole set to anyone looking to add some nice speaker...

impressive addition

 

I bought the AJ pioneer system in it's first interation. All of my speakers are first generation and not the "2" system speakers. Despite the raves on the new system which I haven't heard I can truly say that this version of the speakers is amazing....

This speaker produces an impressive amount of sound that's vital to any 5.1 system. The coloration is just a bit bright at the upper ranges but male and female voices are produced beautifully. Though it's not something I would normally praise a speaker...

I don't think there are any cons to this speaker except for the slight concern if you have a very limited space in which to place it. The dimensions are easily seen so check and make sure you have the room for it.

Great Price & Works Great

 

Overall a great center speaker for the average person at a very reasonable price

Solid wood body, which makes it heavy, with a crisp clear center channel sound that allows you to hear clear voices and other sounds that a center channel was made for.The connectors are banana plug compatible which is nice to use when connecting it to...

It comes with a rounded body and has no legs/feet to stop it from rocking. It doe's come with, rubber place holders, to lay it on, to keep it in place. It should at least come with some sort of a craddle or an attached front support to hold it from...

Simply Fabulous

 

I spent quite some time getting my speakers "right." The problem lay in my lack of understanding all the attributes of my Sherwood RD-6108 audio/video receiver. I'm running a Synergy 2.1 speaker system with this center speaker. I suggest that many of...

I'm in my mid 70s and for some time now when watching a movie on my 55 inch LED TV through my HTPC (all components bought from Newegg, by the way) I've had trouble hearing the actors' voices. The music and sound effects overpowered the dialogue to my...

None; absolutely none!

Pioneer SP-C21

 

I bought the sp-fs51 speakers to replace my dinky satellite speakers from a store-brand full 5.1 stereo system. I was not expecting those speakers to completely drown out the center speaker. So, I immediately bought this speaker to replace the...

Bigger then what I had in mind. I even used a tape measure to get an idea of how big it was, and to make sure it fits

used as stereo

 

I purchased these to A/B against a pair of Polk Monitor 40's in a stereo setup (both on sale at approximately $100). Setting both pair to the same white noise SPL, I used a variety of sources for comparison. Short story----the Polks were 'warmer', the...
