5.0 out of 5 stars Great 3-way speaker, August 2, 2004

By	Ixchnel - See all my reviews

I love this speaker. After I hooked it up I threw in Secret Window (just rented it - not worth renting or watching) but after being able to hear the sound of the couch cushion sinking down when being sat upon I knew I had purchased the right speaker. My wife put on Ice Age (for the kids) and the ice cracking comes through with great clarity. I couldn't ask for a better center channel and am glad I made the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Clarity, January 12, 2005

By	J.D. (NY United States) - See all my reviews

I received this speaker this week to replace the center channel from my roomate's "Home Theater In-A-Box" system. I had replaced the floor speakers with JBL E80s last week and I thought that difference was incredible. Well, that upgrade was nothing compared to the EC35 upgrade. This speaker is exponentially better than your standard "HTIB" center channel. I put in a couple movies and was amazed at how clear the dialog was, it was as if I was there listening to these people speak in my living room. This is also a great speaker for those who use their home theater setup to listen to music. Vocals are crisp and clear, it's almost as if there are sounds that were placed into the recording since I last listened to these CDs on the old setup. That's how great the difference is. The only possible downside for some people is the size of this speaker. I have a shelf on the entertainment center above my TV that allowed for easy placement of the EC35, but at 22" wide, don't expect to sit it on top of your 24" TV, it was almost as wide as my 27" TV. Overall, this speaker is an amazing value, though I purchased it for 1/2 the retail price at stores like B.B. through an online JBL vendor. Look around, get a good price, and you'll be very satisfied with this speaker.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear conversations and effects, July 2, 2005

By	Chung Kai Chow (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this center channel recently to complete my home speaker system.

It takes some time as these speakers serves 2 purposes: theater and music

I am pleased with this center channel. Conversation is clear, and all the effects come out.

e.g. During a conversation in a tunnel in some movies, you can hear the echos, the water drips, etc.
