Center Channel Speakers

Center Channel Speakers That Make Every Conversation Count

You know you have a great center channel speaker when you forget about dialogue. Voices remain crisp and clear, conversations flow naturally, and spoken words complement the scene on screen rather than sounding disjointed between your left and right speakers. For that reason, the center speaker is arguably the most important speaker in any home theater setup.

But not every center channel speaker is right for your system. If you have a small setup with limited space, something compact like the SVS Prime Center Speaker or Definitive Technology Dymension DM10 is ideal. They also work well if your left and right speakers are small bookshelf models. If you’ve got bigger bookshelves or towers, consider beefing up your center channel with the Focal Theva Center Speaker, SVS Ultra Evolution Center Speaker, or Q Acoustics Concept 90.

If you’re filling a large room with sound, you’ll want a bigger center speaker that won’t leave gaps in coverage. When it comes to larger spaces, impressive choices, such as the Perlisten Audio S5c, Perlisten Audio S7c, Focal Kanta CC Speaker, Acoustic Energy AE307, and RBH Sound Reference 621-C provide powerful, room-filling audio while preserving the subtle details in voices.

Of course, buying the biggest center channel speaker you can find is one way to ensure it fills your room. A better way is buying a center that matches your left and right speakers. When your front stage is well-matched, you’ll enjoy smoother, more realistic sound from your movies and TV shows.
