My father bought this speaker as an upgrade for an Onkyo HTIB system. In fact, it was his only speaker upgrade (cheapo). He paid almost $200 for it... but every dollar of that 200 or so was well spent. Talk about clarity! When watching TV or movies, you can hear dialogue crisply without having to crank the volume. After hearing the CS225CB for myself and wallowing in my jealousy, I had to buy one too - only this time from Amazon.com at a remarkable discount. If you want clarity and precision without breaking the bank this is the center for you. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could because I think the sound could be a bit "smoother" if that makes any sense. However, I believe this is one of the best center channel speakers at the 100 (or so) dollar price point out there, period. Don't hesitate, buy it. You will not be disappointed!

I am the guy that always hears people talk about sound quality but often can't actually hear the little nuances these people talk about. I know what I like when I hear and I know what I don't. It's sometimes the hardest part about amazon is you can't actually touch or hear what you are buying before you buy it. My current setup is 3.1, I have been very slowly add pieces as I can afford it which is not to often. I started with a set of Bose 161 when they were on sale, the added the JBL sub 10 when it was on sale for $100 an awesome sub woofer which was on sale at an incredible price. It added a lot of depth to the sound and was wonderful as a stereo but was only fair for watching a movie or TV. The voices where not quite as clear as I would have liked and so I was finally able to add a center channel speaker. All I can say is I am very happy. The sound is crisp and clear and the voices are distinctive and easy to hear. This is an excellent purchase for the price. With the addition of this speaker we never use the TV speakers any more even for watching regular television. It also has a smaller foot print which makes it easier to put in some setups than others. I am a big believe in size doesn't always matter and price for quality is king. This has definitely fit all my requirements.
