5.0 out of 5 stars Clear Voices, Great Price, December 27, 2007

By	Gundy Gunderson - See all my reviews

This speaker does well what it is designed for - reproducing the human voice. The dialogue in movies is clear and not drowned out by your other speakers. It is a little heavy but that seems to be the norm for the Beta series. I have the Beta 50's too. The construction is solid and it matches well with the other Beta series. I prefer to listen to music in stereo with out the center channel but it does hold up well. At first glance, the C250 looks to small compared to the Beta 50's but it also holds well against them. Ideally you should get the C360 if you have the Beta 50's but I didn't have enough space under my TV and didn't feel comfortable putting this monster on top. I'm happy with the C250 though as it does what I wanted which was clear voices in movies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good center speaker, April 1, 2007

By	Ted (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews

It's been a couple years since I got this. I picked up the C360 so I decided to just buy one more and use the both for surround back speakers. They work excellent there as well. They just have to be aimed towards my seating position to get the most out of them. These play music very well and loud. They are built so solid, even a drop from 5 feet up onto thin carpet covered concrete just made a chip. You hit these things with your knuckles and they don't make a hollow sound at all. After getting many center speakers, I use these as a reference to compare build quality. If you have a lower wattage amp, you wont get the most out of these. Even if it is "high current". It may distort, but that would be your amp, not the speakers. If I could rate stars over again, I would give this a 5 now. I would also give the C360 a 5 star for price/quality. Although, it may cause some issues at home if your married. It's huge!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great speaker, June 30, 2007

By	gigi (ny United States) - See all my reviews

This speaker delivers speech so clearly, I no longer need subtitles on my DVDs! It complements my other speakers beautifully. The C250 is a bargain for the price.
