Great Sound!
(5 out of 5) by Pepe Cortez on Apr 6, 2006 (Syracuse NY)My search for a center speaker focused on the Bose VCS-10 and KLH 525. I recently upgraded my music system by purchasing a surround sound system from Sony; so, I was in need of a center speaker.
I focused on the KLH and Bose center speakers, because I have had great experience with my existing speakers from both companies.
The Bose VCS-10 has a high-quality sound and was tempting, but I chose the KHL 525 because of its richer, fuller bass with its larger cone woofers-- similar in size and voice to my Cambridge Newton surround speakers. The 525 complements the other, larger Bose and KLH speakers connected to my Sony home theater unit.
Choosing speakers is really a matter of deciding the type and richness of sound that one wants (and can afford) to hear from a stereo or home theater system. Each of us have our own preferences as to the quality and richness of the sound we would enjoy, given our musical tastes.
Placement of the center speaker, I found, is a critical element in terms of the total surround sound experience. I tried placing the center on top of my 32" tv; then, on the floor. However, I found later that I had sufficient clearance in my tv cart (upon which the tv sits) to place the 525 on top of the Time Warner cable box, and found that to be the best location. It is at ear level for those who sit in the sofa and chairs across from the tv.
I found the 525 to produce not only a rich, deep mid-range and bass; but, the sound is also very crisp and clear. Excellent investment for those who are looking for a quality center speaker at a moderate price.
Enjoy!

Best suits my need.
(5 out of 5) by AlwaysTech on Mar 24, 2006Initially I bought JBL E35 center speaker, it was good but too heavey to place it on a TV OR it took more space on my entertainment center. This one is just the right size and weight to place it on a TV (scotch strip hold them!), voice is very clear and powerful, some time better than JBL. Very glad with the purchase.

Great Sound and looks
(5 out of 5) by Z. Smith on Mar 15, 2006 (Hobbs, New Mexico)For a relatively cheap center speaker, works great with quality sound and well built. Definitly would recommend it to anyone. Cheap price doesn't mean cheap product.
