Best For The Money: Klipsch Center Speaker With Subwoofer

Buy on Amazon

Compared with other speaker in this category, the klipsch center speaker with subwoofer has a convenient design. The Center channel speakers are designed to be used in a 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound system. It is large, four big "woofers" (large relative to most center channels) and the tractix horn, and thus, all the "effects" and whatnot overwhelm and bury the dialogue into a recessed position. It makes hearing voices so much more clear and give a big, clean sound.

This thing packs a power punch with clean sound and vocals. It sounds great and is crystal clear. The ideal center channel would match the sonic characteristics of the main speakers. It is perfectly and clear as a whistle, even during loud action scenes. It has a beautiful piano finish.

Best For Some rock Music: Polk Audio Center Speaker With Subwoofer

Buy on Amazon

Next on the list, we've got yet another speaker that manages to win our hearts. It's the polk audio center speaker with subwoofer and it's widely considered as one of the best convenient speaker you can buy. The JBL is punchy and bright and need some EQ adjustment. It is designed to produce a natural, well-balanced sound with massive bass even at the lowest frequencies. The mid-range is accurate and natural sounding and no pumped up low mid-range or upper bass range masquerading as bass. The mid range is quite good and the higher range is fine, too. The center channel makes all of it come together.

The mid-range is quite good and the higher range is fine, too. The audio quality shines more on the mid to high end ranges than the bass and that is apparent when you listen to music with heavy bass in it. The room is small and these fill it with sound quite nicely.

Why We Like This:

Great for home theater, quite loud
Sound is awesome, great range for a center speaker
Gives off loud music and are built very well

We would, of course, be remiss if we didn't mention polk audio good speaker for regular usage. It is not a sound powerhouse but is ok as a center speaker for dialogue. It's beautiful, small, and sleek. It's a passive speaker, to be controlled via an amp / receiver. No matter how you choose to set it up, the center channel easily connects to a receiver, just like any other speaker. It's very light and the 1/4"-20 threaded insert on the rear makes it easy to fabricate a "custom" $3 mount with a carriage bolt, a pipe bracket, and a hose clamp.

This center speaker works well, looks good and sounds great. It should be a good choice, keep in mind it has a built in high pass filter preventing it from producing any bass information.

Best For Home theatre: SVS Great Center Channel

Buy on Amazon

The transition between tweeter and woofer is so smooth and seamless you’ll swear it sounds like a single full-range drive. It is good as it gets for a center channel speaker. The alternative to a soundbar is a multi channel Audio Video receiver and multiple connected speakers. It handles movie dialogues very well and fills in the sound stage very well.

The size ( or volume) of a speaker system enclosure is a function of the acoustic parameters of the woofer(s) and their ability to reproduce bass frequencies. It is neutral and natural, bringing dialogue and vocals forward just enough to be clear and intelligible. This speaker, as with the jbl, will warm up a bit as time goes on. It requires a wired connection using speaker cable to the center channel speaker output of an AV Receiver.

Why We Like This:

Definitely can handle an 80hz crossover
Very clear vocals center channel speaker
Small enough to fit into most home theater cabinets

Best Sound Quality: Definitive Technology Center Speaker With Subwoofer

Buy on Amazon

Series tower speakers, the CS9040 is exactly what you need to make the front end of your home theater audio shine. It makes a seamless front stage when you pair with the 9040 towers. Its integrated rubber feet make sure the speaker stays in place and does not scratch your furniture. It has a knob on the back that will adjust the output of the subwoofer, while still utilizing the internal crossover to all three speaker sizes.

Although it still has an up-firing subwoofer, it is completely passive. This speaker only has a speaker hook up, 5 way binding posts. The 9020 towers handle ALL low frequency bass and effects. The high vocals are pristine clear and the bass radiator feeling of bass to the entire room. It takes a bit of power at higher volume levels, however.
