(2 out of 5)not impressed
The Cerwin Vega center I was trying to replace was about a decade old, so I figured that technological improvements over that time-span would let me buy a better speaker for a reasonable price. Although the price is reasonable on this Polk, I was certainly not impressed with the sound produced. ALthough the CV only has one speaker and this Polk has 3 built into it, the sound on the Polk is so much quieter and less crisp. I guess I'll put it in with the tv in my bedroom. It certainly doesn't belong with my 50" Sony SXRD HDTV, my Harman Kardon receiver, or my JBL speakers.
If you're just looking for a fair speaker at a reasonable price, I'd recommend the Polk. But, if you want a center channel that produces strong and crisp sound, you should look elsewhere.
(5 out of 5)great things come in small packages
When they delivered this center speaker, I thought that someone, somewhere--had made a huge mistake...the box was huge! It was all plastered with caution-signs warning of the heavy weight of the object inside the big box...Thankfully, it was just that whomever shipped it was being a bit too careful...coz, this rascal only weighs some 6 or 7 lbs, at the most...But, the sound,,,the sound is glorious, and fits right in with my Polk R15's...I could not be more pleased with this purchase! So, thank you Polk and thank you Amazon--you guys rock!
(5 out of 5)Good sound in a small package
Don't let the small size and light weight fool you. This center channel speaker packs plenty of punch. For me, the main purpose of a CS speaker is to deliver clear vocals and dialogue. With this Polk, I no longer have to lean forward in my chair or crank up the volume to hear conversations. All sound coming from it is crystal-clear. I'm very happy with it. I have it set up with an Onkyo receiver, an RCA sub, two Bose front speakers, and four Klipsch surround speakers.
(5 out of 5)Very clear vocals in a small package
While overhauling my home theater system, I decided to try a new center speaker. Even if this speker did not work well, it could go into another room.
Wow! What a pleasant surprise to hear the sweet, clear sound this speaker produces. At less than half the size of my existing center speaker, this Polk Audio RM6752 center speaker produces at least the same amount of sound. More importantly, vocal sound through this speaker is clear and crisp.
So, this speaker will stay with my home theater system. The older center speaker can go to the other room for a 3.1 setup. As you can guess, I do recommend this speaker. Though small, it provides a sweet, clear sound for your center channel.
(5 out of 5)WOW!
Got an HD LCD TV for Christmas to replace the Sony CRT. That meant the center speaker (an $200 big name in high end audio) could no longer sit on top of the set. Wall mounting wasn't an option (uh, I have a WIFE.) This little Polk unit fits in the TV stand (standing upright) next to the audio/SAT/DVD units. Yeah, I was a bit worried about the sound coming out of such a small unit (especially male vocals) but Polk does wonders with their small bookshelf speakers (of which I have a pair in the bedroom.) How impressive is this! Crisp, loud vocals with plenty of warmth and depth. Male voices are plenty deep. For $71 and free shipping, this was a steal!!!!
