Incredible clarity and punch from such a small speaker. I have my setup in a 12' X 18' room with JBL mains and surrounds and this CC-5 blends right in. Adds so much more detail, clarity and definition to my sound! Movies as well as Music come to life with the addition of this center channel speaker. When I was searching for a replacement center channel I could not find many reviews on this speaker so I wanted to post my own. Its a much bigger sounding unit than it appears for its size. Vocals and dialogue are clear and defined, low end and low-mids are well established without being harsh or boomy. I really don't think I could have found a better match for my JBL's. A truly happy Energy owner.
