    • Great center channel! Clear, crisp dialogue. Going strong two years later!
Size: 5.25 inches - Center Quad
I wanted the best center channel but didn’t want to pay $300+. Looked at Polk and Klipsch but both were at least $300. Was surprised to find such a nice speaker for only $239! I am upgrading from a Pioneer C-22 which is considered a good budget center. The CV produces very clear dialogue. I am able to turn the volume up much higher without any distortion. Just make sure you check the measurements as it is quite large. UPDATE: 8-2026 Two years later and this speaker is running perfectly! I have no issues with it at all. Dialogue is crystal clear. I think it looks really good without the dustcover as well! One point I would like to make is I watch movies at night and try not to bother my wife, I can have the volume fairly low but am still able to hear every word without straining. I believe you will be happy buying this speaker. ... show more

    • Hidden gem!
Size: 5.25 inches - Center Quad
This speaker is absolutely a hidden gem. For the price you won’t find a better speaker. I was skeptical at how good this speaker would sound being so cheap and never really hearing much about cerwin Vega center channels. I was given an older CV with dual 5 1/4” woofers which is also surprisingly good. Based on that I figured I would give the sl45c a shot. I have tried Klipsch rp450c and 504c, Polk audio csia6 (current), infinity alpha 37c, Elac 2.0 6.2c, and a few others. This ranks at the top for best value and is right next to the Polk as my favorite. The Klipsch has 4 woofers as well but is way to bright for me, this speaker is the perfect balance of being clear and loud without being bright. Had I bought this first I wouldn’t have bought anything else. I am going to keep this and the Polk. I will be buying one more sl45c and keep one in my bedroom setup and switch one in and out with my Polk csia6 home theater setup. I am impressed enough with this CV to try some more CV speaker for my garage and bedroom setup. May even possibly buy a third sl45c for the garage and swap it out with the infinity. This speaker is not as large as many centers. It is wide but not too deep or y’all. What I like most about it is it being sealed. I prefer sealed centers for home theater. The Polk has dual 6.5” woofers and is ported. I provided more bass than this center but can be boomy at times. This center provides adequate bass and is very clear. I’m not staying this speaker is perfect, but after trying so many centers ranging from this @ 149 to the Klipsch retailing at 750, this had such a good value it can overcome some of its weaknesses. Each center I have tried sounds slightly different in certain areas. This speakers has good mid bass and clear dialogue which is at my ears like. For reference I run a Yamaha RXA2080 receiver. I’m glad I gave this center a shot and I will be giving CV. More chances in the future. ... show more

    • Great sounding speaker, but be sure it'll physically fit your setup before you buy
Size: 5.25 inches - Center Quad
How to say this? This CV center channel speaker sounds fantastic but is easily twice as large as I thought it would be. I bought it to replace a failing old Boston Acoustics cheap center channel, but seriously you'll need a fairly large space in your AV cabinet. Or in my case, the little shelf above the TV which had had the BA speaker before is going to need some refitting before I feel totally safe with the new unit. I should've looked at the product dimensions; it's 6.5" high, 7.5" deep, and 27.5" long, and weighs about 20 lbs. The original shelf is holding, but I ain't comfortable with the noticeable sag. If you have your TV on top of an AV cabinet, no, the SL45C will not fit in front of it like most standard soundbars will. I ended up ordering some Polk center speaker wall mounts and will put those up as soon as I receive them. Setting aside the "holy crap, this speaker is huger than I thought it'd be" issue, I have zero complaints about the sound. It's crisp, has excellent range, and made my Dolby Digital/Surround/Atmos audio rendering issues go bye-bye. Sound at both high and low volume is good, too, and impressed with vocal quality. I also pipe music audio through the receiver from my computer via Airplay, and the difference is remarkable. Would I buy again? Perhaps, although obviously I might've gone with a smaller model. ... show more

    • Good value
Size: 5.25 inches - Center Quad
Sounded bass heavy at first until I ran my receiver's Audyssey setup. Audyssey EQ's each speaker individually. Sounds good after calibration. Calibration cut off frequencies at 60 hz and below. Works well in this setup.

    • Maximum bang for your buck
Size: 5.25 inches - Center Quad
What hasn't been said...great speaker, incredible value at $200 Yada Yada. It's all true. I'll say this, if you prefer a very bright center, you may want to look elsewhere. But that's just splitting hairs. For everyone else, save a couple hundred bucks and just buy this one. You'll be glad you did

    • Great Center Speaker for the price
Size: 5.25 inches - Center Quad
I shopped around for a long time to find a center speaker for under $500 to replace an older Onkyo speaker. I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews. This speaker checked out and so I bought it. I have been using for about 2 months now and am very happy. The clarity is incredible and although a bit large, it looks good. I did spend the time re-calibrating my system (Crossovers, distance, speaker volume, etc..) and it really made this center speaker stand out. For the price of this speaker, you can beat it. ... show more

    • Good, solid center
Size: 5.25 inches - Center Quad
Very solid product from a pretty well known manufacturer of speakers. Running this as a center to my Onkyo 656 receiver, with 2 NHT 2.5 towers as my fronts. Sound is pretty "boomy" even with adjusting crossover from 40hz to full. Voices sound like they are coming out of a box, and never really reach that natural sound that I expect, like someone sitting in my living room. Most of the time, the clarity is there...especially during commercials! For the price, this is a pretty good buy, replaced my little 2 speaker KLH and definitely was a step up...but then again, I had only paid $22 for my KLH. Probably for a audio purist, this speaker would not cut it, but for the rest of us with average human hearing, they are pretty good. Just wish the voice clarity was better. ... show more
