Bose Acoustimass Horizontal Cube Center Channel Speaker – Black

I have a Denon 5.1 Surround with a Polk Subwoofer (4) 8″ Yamaha 3-Way In-Ceiling Speakers and this Bose Acoustimass as my Center Channel. My Sound system is all pieced together, all speakers except the sub are hooked up at line level outputs. simply connected this Bose with ordinary Speaker Wire (16 or 18 Gauge) to the back of the receiver; no special connectors needed. Like some of the other Bose Speakers.I have had (3) different Center Channel speakers including this Bose hooked up to my A/V System. This is by far the best I’ve ever heard.I don’t like the sound bars as most of them have independent volume/remote controls, independent Amplifiers and usually require a Pre-Amp or a Proprietary Connector. With that in mind Balancing your sound system can become cumbersome. Don’t get me wrong, Sound Bars are great if you want loud Room filling sound without the sub and 4 or 6 more speakers than a sound bar is good for that purpose and they are definitely better than the crappy built in speakers of your displayIn my opinion if your putting a nice sound system together or looking for more clarity and amazing room filling sound from your center channel. I would recommend this highly. I actually have my receiver set to -10dB just for the center channel as this speaker is so Clear and room filling.I was hesitant at first because of the size but when i hooked this up i couldnt believe what i was hearing.I put a BluRay in and I was hearing so much more of the movie that i didnt hear before. So much of the audio of a movie is lost because of poor speakersSo Again Don’t let the size fool you. I have had a Sony center channel (Junk) a $250 JBL Pro series Center with dual 4-1/2″ Cones with mid’s and tweeters. Sounded good; I thought until I replaced it with this Bose Center Channel. Well Worth the money.
