It's easy for anyone to appreciate the quality of sounds which the BIC speakers produce. 10 years ago, I bought my first set and it brought be 10-years of listening enjoyment. Recently, the original center speaker started to sound "tinny" and I knew it was time to get something new. (Hey, after 10 years - I am pleased with the quality and duration.) So, i replaced my 10-year old DV52CLR with a new DV62CLR-S. I am so happy I did. Wow!
Originally, I went looking at local TV store. All they had was Polk Audio for center speakers. As I listned, I could not feel a sense of appreciation for what I heared - it seemed empty. I was anoyed by the $200+ to $400+ prices they were asking.
I did the research and afterwards I though this center speaker for around $100 was an incredible value. (Given the size, range and sound.) I have no idea why more TV / Home Theatre stores are not carrying BIC. BIC quality can certainly compete against what they are carrying and the price will certain attract the people.
Thanks to Amazon for carrying these. Thanks to BIC for making these. Also - i have a Denon AVR 4802 with 7.1 THX and the speakers really help bring it to live.

After many hours on the internet I came across a speaker I had not seen or heard of in years. Yes the B.I.C. line of speakers. I knew that years ago, after hearing these, I was really impressed with them. So after a little research I decided to give them a try. I got the center channel and two of the bookself speakers, which were to replace a set of Bose speakers. When these speakers can in I was impressed by the quality of them at this price range. I connected the speakers up to my system (Rotel Processor and Parasond Amp). At first I was a little disapointed with the sound but I knew that they needed to burn in for a while. I left my system playing for three or four days non stop and the speakers started to come to life. I have had over the years a few diffrent speaks ( Ohms, Jbl, Cerwin Vega, DCM, and the way overrated Bose) I belive these to be the best sounding of them all. I will soon buy two more DV-62CLRS and use them for my front spearkers and delegate the DV-62SI's to the rear for surround sound. I have to say that for the price you will be hard pressed to find better sounding speakers. Heck, for double the price even.

I replaced the Yamaha center channel speaker with this BIC DV-62CLR-S center channel speaker and the difference was dramatic. It is a great sounding speaker with exceptional clarity and has dual drivers which lends to an awesome sound.

Anyone who has an all-in-one Home Theater system should get this speaker as a center channel because the supplied speakers are of inferior quality.

Forget the well known branded speakers, this on beats them hands down. It has a genuine wooden enclosure unlike the particle board in others.

It is also much bigger in size, so make sure it will fit your stand !!

Simply put, this speaker cannot be beat for value. At about $100 you will get a great sounding and decent looking center channel speaker that will not disappoint. Very crisp, especially with movie dialogue and this speaker will take volume levels that will astound you. The sound quality is comparable to speakers in the $400 - $600 price range and will absolutely blow away any speaker in a box center guaranteed. This speaker also seems to blend well with mid to low sensitive surround speakers. (86-88 db) Did I say it only costs about $100 with free shipping ? If you are on the fence about starting a surround sound system you cannot go wrong at this price point. Only you will know how little you paid for great sound!

...had this center channel for 6 months now and after many, many,many movies with dts and dolby 5.1 i would say 5 stars because the dialogue comes out naturally and didn`t disappoint and also music for dvd audio and even srs with my kenwood sounded awesome.

Since we started watching movies more frequently, I decided to upgrade my center speaker. After much research and thought, I purchased this amazing speaker. During this process, I listened and compared to a lot of center speakers; most of them expensive, and recognizable name brands. I am a singer and play several instruments, so I recognize good sound when I hear it. The sound of this speaker can be best described by the title of my review. The quality of the sound cannot be distorted even at extremely high volumes. If, after you buy this speaker, you do not have GREAT sound, it means that you do not have a good enough audio receiver. This speaker definitely maximized the best that my receiver puts out. Like I expected, this addition to my surround system truly added another level to our movie watching experience. The same can be said about music listening.

Before I comment on the quality, you should know: THIS IS A BIG CENTER SPEAKER! About the size of a smaller wastebasket. If you're space-conscious, you should probably try the smaller model BIC...

The center channel is where a majority of the action happens when watching a movie or listening to music in 5.1 mode. If you were to make one upgrade in your setup, you get the most bang for the buck with the center.

Anyhow, big speaker, big sound. The sound is wide enough to create a convincing 'wall of sound' with the left and right fronts. With the separate woofers and tweeters, instruments are well-separated in the mix and also provide a pretty-sounding bass.

If you are an appreciator of audio and have a capable system, I would highly reccomend this as a purchase. I come from an 'all-in-one-home-theater' background, so hearing something with this much clarity and richness was new and quite noticeable.

Bic has produced a speaker with quality sound. At last all the conversations that were hard to understand are crystal clear. The range of the speaker is amazing for the size. I highly recommend the Bic speaker!

I started with one of these for my center channel and was very pleased wiht the sound as compared to other speakers in my system. I needed to repalce two bookshelf speakers in the new home theater setup and since I wanted larger speakers that could lay horizontally on the bookshelf I decided to get two more of these. I am very pleased with the sound. I have a subwoofer, but these sound really good even without the sub.

I bought a couple of BIC Ameica tower speakers for my fronts in the early 1990s and they have reliably sounded great for the past 15 years or so. I wanted to upgrade my center channel and was pleased to see the great reviews the DV-62CLRS was getting. I use a Marantz SR7200 Receiver and a Samsung Blu-Ray to decode Dolby-HD and DTS-HD. The sound is amazing! I can actually hear dialog clearly at low volumes. At high volumes this sucker pumps out the sound on everything from Lord of the Rings to Across the Universe! For 100 bones, you can't go wrong. BTW, I've read about the crossover modifications that some people are doing. Maybe my ear is not that sophisticated but I don't see the need.
