3.0 out of 5 stars Good price, reasonable quality for the non-fussy, September 12, 2002

By	punitbhatia (New Delhi, India) - See all my reviews

The first thing that strikes you about this speaker is the price!

The WH-2 system (center plus dipole surrounds) is meant for someone who already has 2 good speakers for mains and just wants a basic upgrade for home theater.

If you're not an audiophile or a major audio enthusiast, this speaker should do just fine. Dialog reproduction - its main job is reasonable. Though not not crystal clear (it is a sub [$$$] speaker, you know), is good enough for the non-fussy...

However, if you're the type who listens critically, I would recommend you look at the Wharfedale Diamond 8 Center.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great speaker for the money, April 9, 2003

By	Brian "bds4348" (USA) - See all my reviews

I did some research and I found out that Wharfedale has one of the best bang-for-the-buck quotients out there.

For the money, you can not buy a better center channel speaker. Sure, it's not going to run with the top of the line models, but you can't expect it to. However, I have put it up against some significantly more expensive speakers and it blew them away.

I don't regret this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big TheatOrs, November 4, 2003

By	Clint J. Desena (Plantsville, CT United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I didn't really like this speaker until I listened to Big Wars. The sounds of Big Wars were unbelieveable. If you like this speaker, you'll love Big Wars.
