    Great, clear, toned dialogue. I’ve been through my share of center speakers. (Polk, focal, kef). This SVS Prime gets to stay home. I’m not matching brands with my bookshelf speakers (Polk R200) and honestly, cannot notice. Documentaries sound amazingly good. The Woofer, tweeter, mids, woofer design of this center speaker is what makes it sound so good compared to other designs. Try it out, im sure you wont be dissapoonted.

    Its a very good center speaker with a nice voice sound quality. It has a pretty good dispursion side to side from the MLP. If hou csn afford, go eith the next level SVS center, its slightly bigger but much better !

    Huge upgrade over my old Polk S35. It’s small enough to fit in smaller spaces.

    Like everything that SVS makes, this is one terrific center channel. I recplaced an old Bose center channel and this just blows it away. Clear, crisp dialogue. A little bright when first used, however, once it is broken in with multiple soundtracks and 20-30 hours of use it settles right in. Just terrific.

    This Center is rounding out things nicely. Combined with my warm and smooth sounding Marantz SR7015 receiever and Martin Logan 40i Floor Speakers, I wanted something a bit more aggressive in the mids to bring out speech in movies. This little box delivers!

    This is a solid 3 way center channel, perfect for home theater or music listening. It is a bit large tho, so check the measurements before purchasing

    I was hesitant to purchase a center channel speaker that was differant brand than my mains. The problem is that I have Ohm Walsh 4's and the mating center from Ohm was over $2K, so I gave this on a try and could not be happier. Dialog is much more intelligable. Using Audyssey built into my Marantz receiver, the eq matches the system very well. The system is a 7.4.2 Dolby Atmos.

    This is a really good center channel speaker. It has great clarity for dialogue, better than my previous center and better than almost all I tried in this price range. The clarity will cut through any loud movie regardless of volume and it is a 3 way speaker instead of traditional 2 way mtm design of most centers.

    I got this speaker for my friend to help him upgrade is 5.1 surround system. He added it to his existing Klipsh set up and it was a great fit. It's not a sharp as the horns on the Klipsh center which is preferable for dialogue in my opinion. The mids are clear and it plays plenty loud for a living room set up. Highly recommended
