Overview
Placing this wide speaker under or above the TV puts film dialogue and vocals at the center of the room. A horn-loaded aluminum tweeter and two woofers work from a receiver's center output, and the cabinet rests on a shelf or stand.
Horn loading gives high efficiency, so the speaker plays loud with modest amplifier power and clear dialogue. The cabinet is wide and heavy, so measure the space below the screen before ordering.
Who it's for
Surround setups where voices get lost behind effects will gain the most from a dedicated center. Anyone without a receiver, or with only a narrow shelf, should look at a soundbar instead.
Pros and cons
- Horn tweeter for clear dialogue
- High efficiency, plays loud easily
- Two woofers for fuller voices
- Long five year warranty
- Needs a receiver or amplifier
- Wide cabinet needs deep shelf space
- Frequency response not listed
- Vinyl veneer, not real wood
Performance notes
Dialogue clarity comes from the horn controlling where the tweeter's sound goes, which limits reflections off nearby surfaces. High efficiency means more volume per watt from the receiver. Placement close to the screen's edge and level with ears helps voices seem to come from the picture.
