If you're looking for a little more power out of your center channel speaker, look no further than this KLH. It's a great speaker for the price, delivering a high-fidelity sound for much cheaper than other models out there. I thoroughly recommend.

As electronics fan's review said, this is the heart of your system. You can't run a home theatre system without a centre speaker, unless you want to not have any dialogue (I did this once). I've used this paired with Harman Kardon AVR 235 receiver, Linn Kans as main speakers, Polk R15s as surrounds, and a Yamaha YST-SW215 8" Powered Subwoofer and also in a System using a Denon AVR-1705, polk R15s as the main speakers, and the Yamaha subwoofer with really good results. These are an excellent choice for the price.

My search for a center speaker focused on the Bose VCS-10 and KLH 525. I recently upgraded my music system by purchasing a surround sound system from Sony; so, I was in need of a center speaker.

I focused on the KLH and Bose center speakers, because I have had great experience with my existing speakers from both companies.

The Bose VCS-10 has a high-quality sound and was tempting, but I chose the KHL 525 because of its richer, fuller bass with its larger cone woofers-- similar in size and voice to my Cambridge Newton surround speakers. The 525 complements the other, larger Bose and KLH speakers connected to my Sony home theater unit.

Choosing speakers is really a matter of deciding the type and richness of sound that one wants (and can afford) to hear from a stereo or home theater system. Each of us have our own preferences as to the quality and richness of the sound we would enjoy, given our musical tastes.

Placement of the center speaker, I found, is a critical element in terms of the total surround sound experience. I tried placing the center on top of my 32" tv; then, on the floor. However, I found later that I had sufficient clearance in my tv cart (upon which the tv sits) to place the 525 on top of the Time Warner cable box, and found that to be the best location. It is at ear level for those who sit in the sofa and chairs across from the tv.

I found the 525 to produce not only a rich, deep mid-range and bass; but, the sound is also very crisp and clear. Excellent investment for those who are looking for a quality center speaker at a moderate price.

Enjoy!
