Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy theater-like sound in the comfort of your living room with the Cerwin-Vega E-76C center-channel speaker. Hailing from the company's E-series, which is loosely modeled after the speakers that Cerwin-Vega supplies to movie theaters across the country, the E-76C offers optimum sound in any listening environment. The center speaker is outfitted with dual 6.5-inch midrange drivers that produce extremely high efficiency and tight sound, along with a self-resetting balanced dome tweeter with a high-sensitivity design. The resulting 50 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response adds a warm, precise, full-bodied flair to movie dialogue--the domain of all center speakers.

The E-76C also includes a tuned bass-reflex enclosure that delivers an extra 3 dB boost at the tuning frequency, plus a low-diffraction baffle cabinet that reduces distortion while increasing the clarity. As with all Cerwin-Vega home theater speakers, the E-76C is also magnetically shielded, so you can place it above or below the TV without distorting the video image. And though the E-76C can serve as a center speaker in a variety of home theater systems, it excels when teamed with other tonally matched E-series speakers, such as the E-715, E-712, and E-710 floorstanding models and the E-706 and E-705 bookshelf units.

The speaker, which measures 19.5 by 8 by 9.88 inches (W x H x D), works with amps as powerful as 125 watts per channel. It's also backed by a five-year warranty on parts and labor.

5.0 out of 5 stars A+ in Clarity !, February 8, 2001

By	Charles D. Chism (Northern Illinois U.S.A.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This speaker is the best investment in my Home Theater system. Originally I had a Bose AM-10 system powered by a Kenwood VR-1090 Dolby-Digital Receiver connected to a satellite system and DVD player. There were so many times my wife would ask, "what did they say" ? The vocals were so hard to pick out of the surround-sound that many times I would activate the subtitles. Even with adjusting the decibel level of the center channel way higher than the rest, vocals were hard to hear. I tried Sony, Kenwood, and a JBL N-Center speakers to correct the problem with not much success. Then the day came when I purchased this wonderful little jewel. What an improvement ! I can actually hear all vocals with such clarity that now I want to throw my Bose speakers in the garbage and fill my room with Cerwin-Vega's !! The tonal quality is superb and weighing in at just over 20-pounds, it's truly a heavyweight of a center-channel. Do yourself a favor and BUY Cerwin-Vega from now on !!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Center speaker, June 15, 2000

By	Dwight G. Chapin (OK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have had this speaker for a while. A good choice. Well priced for the quality. Lacks a little in bass, so I recomend sending the bass to your main speakers. No other center speaker touches it under 400 bucks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good overall sound, September 3, 2002

By	Bill (Western MD) - See all my reviews

I purchased this center channel to complete all the Cerwin-Vega speakers I have. I was a little leary on it with the big floorstanding E-712's with a 98dB rating and this only being 92dB, but I was surprised. I actually have to turn this down to hear the other speakers. Tonal quality is good and it's being run by a Yamaha rx-v2095 with 100w/ch. Between the Yamaha's good reproduction and Cerwin-vega's performance its a good match together. Definitely would recommend this center channel with old or new Cerwin-vega.
