Sony SSCS8 2-Way 3-Driver Center Channel Speaker - Black, 4 Bookshelf Speaker System

... with this Sony, and the sound was considerably improved from an older JBL. The voice quality, not just the volume of speech, was an upgrade. This Sony picks up a bit more of the basso in the deeper male voices. It came with small, rubberized, stick-on "feet", so no need for a makeshift buffer on a hard surface, which was a nice touch. Feels solid and dense in the casting. Overall, very pleased and worth the price.

This speaker is excellent quality for the price point. The sound is crystal clear and would be a sound investment for a small to medium sized room. See what I did there? Seriously though, I would buy this again without giving it a second thought.

This is a solid choice if you're looking for a good center channel speaker. Works great for a 5.1 or 7.1 center driver. Most of your dialogue is running through the center, so it's important to have a speaker that can deliver the higher frequencies. The tweeter is good and I can hear everything clearly. If you want to spend a 2-3 hundred more on a higher class center, go ahead, but you won't get more for your dollar.

It does a good job for what it is intended. Movie dialog and mid-fi multi channel music. It should not be expected to play much under 100hz though, so be sure to setup the crossover points to 100 or higher. The only thing I would have done differently with this design is to adopt the same tweeter/super tweeter unit as the SSCS-5 mains. It would have been barely noticeable in the cost to the product and would have matched the timbre and dispersion exactly. Oh well, they work well enough at this price point.

Purchased this on sale to match my sscs3 towers. Before I purchased this, I was using the micca mb42x-c center channel. Out of the box it sounded pretty terrible compared to the micca. Boomy voices and over emphasized treble making S's sound obnoxious. After running room calibration and applying some EQ it sounds allot better. Compared to the micca voices are easier to understand at low volumes, but I feel the micca more closely matches the timbre of real voices. Voices have more bite in the mid range and more extension in the low male voices compared to the micca. Only reason I got this is to match esthetically better with my towers. Bang for buck, the micca is the better deal with a more natural sound. But this one has a better enclosure build quality and a more aggressive, dynamic sound. I will be keeping it.

Although I purchased this as a significantly lower price than is currently listed during holiday sales, I can definitely say this center channel is worth the money. I do not consider myself an audiophile however I have been tinkering with surround sound systems and stereos since the early 1990s. I place the sound quality as good as any klipsch, Jensen or polk that I have owned. The home we purchased had a prewired in wall surround system however the center channel did not work and I did not feel like troubleshooting this so I went to Amazon and found this speaker and I am very glad that I did. It made watching the Mandalorian all that much more enjoyable. This is the way.

I don't know what I like but I know what I don't like. I bought a cheap sound bar many years ago when they first came out. I hated how it sounded. I returned it and never looked back. "Boxy" is the perfect word to describe the sound. This is my first legit theater system, I want it to sound pretty good. In short, I like how voices sound, not too bassy or boxy. Very clear dialog. Don't be afraid to gamble on used or open box.

Just hooked it up to my 8 year old LG Home Theater system ( Haven't bought my new Sony receiver yet) and it still sounds fantastic! I just popped on the first Underworld movie and it was so loud and clear I could hear every one of Selene's footsteps and every drop of rain with absolutely zero distortion. The build quality is very impressive as well this thing is super heavy and huge compared to my old LG center channel which was made of plastic and feels cheap and small in comparison (The Sony is made of a sturdy wood). Very impressed with this Center Channel speaker for the $73 price tag, I felt like I stole this lol. Can't wait until I get the towers tomorrow to try them suckers out if this is any indication of what to expect quality wise.

Una buena decisión haber comprado esta bocina para el canal central de mi teatro en casa. Mi TC es un LG sencillo pero tiene las bocinas pequeñas y se escuchaba un poco agudo. Cambié el canal central por este y la mejora fue excelente. Agregó un sonido más grave y también tuve que bajarle el volumen al subwoofer que lo había subido para tratar de equilibrar los agudos sin sentirme satisfecho, pero ahora con el nuevo canal central está mucho mejor. Cuando veo peliculas o la tele, las voces se escuchan claras. En ambientes 5.1 o 7.1 el canal central es el más importante pienso yo, ya que es el que más suena y este Sony cumple y bien.

For a little speaker it's sure worth every dollar clear sound of amazing Bass and wicked clear dialogue definitely one of the best speakers I've ever owned

Excelente sonido muy bien empacado todo bien

Already wired it to my stereo and it sounds amazing but it's my 2nd Sony center so I already knew it was good

Llego en tiempo el producto es lo que esperaba no tuve ningún contratiempo lo recomiendo ampliamente
