Low price and good sound quality. I understand that there are better centers available but I am definitely satisfied with this speaker for less than $75.
I won't lie. It doesn't disappoint.
This center finished the budget minded 3.1 system I just pieced together for my dad's birthday present. Specs: Yamaha RX-V367, Polk Monitor 40 Series II fronts, this center, and Polk PSW10 sub. I didn't want to get him a HTiB because those packages come with very poor speakers. Some reviewers mention that this speaker is large/huge but it isn't. Its a regular size center (smaller than the old center it replaces). I am not a carpenter but I do know how to use a tape to measure dimensions which I did because I can't find the dimensions for the series II anywhere. For those of you who are intersted: W = 17 15/16" H = 7" D = 9 9/16".
Sounded great, looks great
Stopped working after 10 months
I've never had a speaker stop working before. No static or any response at all. I had it hooked up to my home theater system and for months it performed great. Nothing was moved or touched and suddenly it stopped working. I'm going to try to get it repaired or replaced by Polk. I will update with my experience doing that.
