Great sounding center speaker!

None.

The quality of the sound from this speaker is superb. I bought this speaker on the strength of the reviews on this site. It fits nicely on top of my old 32" Sony XBR TV. I have it biwired and it is terrific. I am planning to get another one for my center rear channel. Everything they say about its sound quality is true.

Excellent Sound

End Caps [mine are somewhat loose]

A large, heavy, and rock solid center speaker. Mine is bi-wired with Audioquest Type 6 and driven by and Adcom GFA-6000 [100watts]. The sound is excellent and matches my C-6 fronts very well. This speaker needs a high power amp [same as the C-6's] to satisfy its power requirements. It also requires a substaintial area to sit; IT will NOT fit on top of my television [32" Sony Wega] because of the depth of the speaker.

Smooth Sound, Articulate Voices, Seamless Soundstage. Good off axis response, crystaline highs, very pleasant mid and lows.

Cheesy side panel mounts, No in-package documentation.

This speaker is about $100 more than I wanted to spend but after one listen, I couldn't resist. I listened to Mel Gibson in BraveHeart and I felt like I was in the castle with him. Wow. I brought this baby home and listened to Ricky Lee Jones and Wow what sparkle and presence. This is not only a center channel speaker, but a very musical speaker as well. As far as low priced center channel speakers, I don't think there is anything in its class. Even the higher priced Polk or Infinity or Kef speakers suck in comparison. That's Suck with a capital "S".

Do a side by side comparison with all speakers up to $600 and you will see.

Oh my god. You will love this speaker. Nothing in its price range even comes close.

Balanced across the entire frequency range, good dispersion.

Big. Wrap-around grill and end system a little weird but still classy and acoustically functional.

One cannot underestimate the importance of the center channel in 5.1 surround. I believe it to be far more important in creating a believable experience than any of the other channels especially in dialogue heavy movies. DO NOT SKIMP on quality.

The AC-300 is near ideal. For the price, the sound is exceptional and will compete with rivals costing double. Consider buying 5 of them, one for every channel for perfect immersion. Much, much better than the Take 5 and Encore, they have a wide frequency range and are completely transparent throughout.

Barring space issues (this one's big), this is one of my most pleasing purchases.
