Great after break-in
Pros: Great sound. Matches beautifully with my F-20s. Plenty loud. Aesthetically pleasing (once you get used to it.) Large size. This might seem like a flaw to some, but it would look silly next to the F-20s if it was any smaller.
Cons: Long break-in period. I usually don't buy the whole "It's gonna take a while to break in" stuff, but with my C-20, it was true. For the first month or so, I seriously considered sending it back. It didn't match my (already broken-in) F-20s at all. It stood out like a sore thumb when sounds moved across the front sound field. After about a month, something happened, and it sounds great now. The sound field is contiguous, instead of broken, and dialogue is crisp and defined.
Overall Review: If you have any of the F-series fronts, you owe it to yourself to pick up this speaker as the center channel. After the break in period, you won't be disappointed.
Klipsch delivers
Pros: Very powerful, extremely clear in all ranges. Attractive with and without the grills.
Cons: Feet are not completely even. The cabinets will rock if you push on them, but I have not noticed any rattle/ vibrations, even at high volumes.
Overall Review: I have these as a 2.0 setup right now. I was going to purchase a sub in the very near future, but these put out a lot of low end (down to 38Hz) on their own. They put out much more (and clearer) bass than my old Philips HTIB.
