This center speaker is a great complement to my surround system. No distortion at all. I had recently upgraded my sound system to 7.1 surround. The center channel is very clear so voices from blueray or games sound realistic. Amazing sound for around $80.00. I originaly purchased a Sony SS-CR3000 rear speaker surround system with center speaker. I found that system to be lacking so I upgraded to the Sony SS-CN5000 center speaker and a pair of Sony SS-BN1000 bookshelf speakers for the rear channel.
All of these speakers have the same woofers and resistance values for a very balanced sound. The overall sound is very full and clear.Before I was using an older Sony center channel speaker (which had 2 paper 5 1/4" woofers, 1 1/2" tweeter, ported) and it stuck out like a sore thumb as far as sound quality (very tinny, no bass). This is an excellent center channel speaker. When all of your speakers are the same load, they compliment one another. It is very clear and has a great response with movies and music.I have this integrated into a 7.1 surround sound setup using a Sony receiver and all Sony speakers. This speaker is accompanied by 6 of the Sony SS-B1000 5.25" bookshelf speakers.
what a great sounding unit the voice is crystal clear and the bass is great.a great sounding speaker for a great price.
In my honest opinion, this is the only way to go. Don't get me wrong it sounded great but there was not a noticable difference between the two except for the price. Then we get to the price. My only regret is I wish I wasn't so predisposed to getting the highest end equipment I possibly could. For the price and quality it far exceeds my expectations and not to mention out performs. I bought this speaker after I bought a pair of sony bookshelf speakers to match the set.
It filled the room with voices an other sounds I never heard before even in both songs and movies that I'm very familiar with. The Sony center channel was about $45 less than the polk that was comparable to it and at equal quality. This one unlike the bookshelf speakers, (officially gave them a 4 and 3/4 stars)I give a 5 star rating to. To give you an idea I was really looking into getting polk center channel. I would have had my system upgraded a long time ago saving almost 3 months of searching and researching. I was so shocked when I installed it into my system.
I got it for about $85 including shipping.
EXCELLENT center speaker. Using it in a 7.1 system with a hefty Onkyo AV receiver.
