Decent Center
(3 out of 5) by Timothy Lam on May 12, 2009 (Temple City, CA United States)I have owned the Bose VCS10 Center Channel for the past 3 years and have learned to live with it's sonic peculiarities and enjoy it's more positive aspects. I am one who finds the VCS10 actually better for listening to music than movie dialogue. I had 2 generations Bose 301's as front speakers (Series V) and surrounds (Series IV) respectively and was interested in maintain the "natural sound" characteristics for which Bose is well known. I must say that the VCS10 is lacking in lower range bass but not to a point of exceptional distraction. I do like the lack of piercing highs which the 2.5" drivers shy away from producing.
I also approve of the VCS10's styling and low profile on top on my CRT television set.
Strengths:
Low profile
Aesthetically pleasing
No piercing high notes
Does not draw undue attention to itself
Weaknesses:
Power Hungery Drivers
Often Muffled Dialog in Home Theater Mode
Hard to balance with rest of home theater speakers
Could use more bass!!!
Mid bass sounds "punchy" and at times and distorted when used for home theater music passages, eg. Titanic 1997 Irish Music by Galiec Storm in DTS 6.1

Excellent Sound and Vision
(5 out of 5) by Charlene Clark on Mar 1, 2008 (Baltimore, MD USA)My new speaker looks nice and sleek on top of my TV, and of course, it produces excellent sound. I am able to hear more conversations without having to turn up the TV.

Nice Sound
(5 out of 5) by Jesus A. Perez on May 9, 2007 (Houston, TX USA)The center speaker was a great improvement over having just 2 speakers at each side. It is great for mid tones.
