I bought this center channel speaker to down size from a much larger highly rated Bic center channel. For the most part, I am impress and more than satisfied. I did loose some center bass and a slight bit of mid detail, but this little guy plays loud clear and hard. I highly recommend. This speaker is a must if you have matching Bic speakers and you are looking for a smaller center that matches them tonally. Definitely beat out a lot of the JBL's and other brands I looked at, and better than a home theater in a box center channel. It's a great buy for the price.
