5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Speaker at a Phenomenal Price!, January 14, 2003

By	Christopher Davis "chris_jd" (Tracy, CA USA) - See all my reviews

The center channel speaker of a home theater system provides the main audio, such as dialogue, of the program being viewed.
The "JBL N-Center II Center Channel Speaker" provides crystal clear voice reproduction, ranging from the faintest whisper to the most raucus yell. With a power rating of up to 150 watts, and 3 decent drivers, it is a nice fit for the average to above average system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Center Channel Performance As It Should Be, March 4, 2004

By	J. E. Gillaspy "edcaroleg" (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's a mystery to me why some are satisfied with realistic dialog from a center channel speaker. As much as 60% of the total audio energy goes to the center channel. It should be capable of accurately reproducing the entire audible range of frequencies. This speaker does just that and does it very well, (except the very lowest - about 80 Hz or below) better than some far more expensive speakers that we auditioned at a retailer. If this speaker does not return to Amazon.com it is worth looking for elsewhere.
