At that time, I felt the sound quality was pretty good but over the years as I listened to other center channels that other people had in their home theater set ups I came to realize that the Bose center speaker sound quality was not up to par. So last year, I purchased a Polk center speaker and the improvement in sound quality is absolutely insane. The Polk speaker which costs the same as the Bose ($199) was far and away the better product. The sound is cleaner, crisper, sharper...it made watching movies much more enjoyable. I couldn't believe what I had been missing out on all these years. The only reason I purchased the Bose was to match my speakers but that was a mistake because the sound I have now with Polk center and Bose main is excellent. Depending on who you ask, the center speaker is the most important speaker in a home entertainment audio system. If that's true then I wouldn't recommend Bose because all you're doing is buying the name and not the sound quality and to me that's a waste of money. I know because I made that mistake. 1 775 days ago Don't be fooled I bought this speaker about one year ago from Best Buy, very disappointed. The sound quality is terrible, I have two presence channel $15 KLH speakers that sound better than this. No high end speakers have cabinets made of plastic, hence why Bose is not high end. After a year of misery on my ears, I've replaced this with a Paradigm center speaker that only cost $20 more, and the difference is not even comparable. Do not buy this, or any Bose product at all. Save your money and buy Paradigm, B&W, or similar, most of the time they cost a little bit more, but sometimes actually less and are actually high end speakers, and you will get your money's worth. 1 775 days ago Horses for Courses I have no axe to grind with Bose. I originally bought this speaker for a custom cabinet with almost no room for a center channel set up. This speaker has an incredibly small footprint. If space is limited, this is not a bad option. <br /> <br />However, being honest, this is not a great center channel speaker. Choosing speakers is like the addage "certain horses for certain courses." Your budget, your room, your components - all play a part. <br /> <br />I have two home theater setups. One is a daily gathering area with basic in wall treatments from Polk Audio. The other is a dedicated theater utilizing Definitive Technologies with B&K Reference 7.1 Processing. Clearly the Bose VCS-10 can not hold its own with my larger setup. However, I have run it with my Polk Audio's and it was workable. The timbre match was slightly off and the vocals were not as sharp as they are with my Polk CSi3 but it was not awful. <br /> <br />My bottom line - you can certainly buy a better center channel speaker. Can you buy a better one in this price range. I think so - if you are only focused on the quality of this one speaker and not the blended sound of your system. You should always buy the best components within your budget - but remember you are building a system - it's not just about one speaker. If this speaker fits your space and (more importantly) matches your other speakers, then it may be the right speaker for you. 2 775 days ago Bose VCS-10 Center Speaker Review I agree with those of you suggested that placement of the center speaker and proper adjustments to your home theater system are important factors in order to fully enjoy the BOSE or any center speaker. <br /> <br />To those suggestions, I would add two more-- ensure that your speakers are compatible in terms of having a similar voice. In other words, there should be some voice similarity between the center speaker and the surround speakers (particularly the rear ones) to bring out the best from both sets of speakers. Hence, I would suggest purchasing the BOSE VCS-10 with the BOSE Model 161 speakers as rear surround speakers. All together, great sound for the price; no noticeable harmonic distortion. <br /> <br />My second suggestion: make certain that your speakers can handle the output from your receiver or amplifier. If your receiver puts out more than your speakers can handle (particularly at a high volume), you will likely ruin your speakers. If the receiver cannot deliver what the speakers can handle, the resulting sound will be of a poor, muted quality. <br /> <br />Like another reviewer, I do not like the VCS-10's plastic housing; but plastic or laminate is used on many brands of entry-level speakers. <br /> <br />I, too, have had great experience with Bose speakers-- I have two pair: 201s and 301s bookshelf spekers; along with two pairs of KLH floor speakers (with 15" woofers!) and a pair of Cambridge SoundWorks Newton S300 surround speakers. <br /> <br />With all of this said, I did NOT purchase the Bose VCS-10 as my center speaker. <br /> <br />It has a great sound and was tempting, but I prefer a richer, fuller bass. Therefore, I opted to purchase a KLH Platium 525 center speaker-- it has larger woofers, similar in size and voice to my Cambridge surround speakers and complements the other, larger speakers connected to my Sony home theater unit. <br /> <br />Choosing speakers is really a matter of deciding the type and richness of sound that one wants (a 4 775 days ago Good Center - A Bit Pricey I have an older set of the Bose cubes (plus the sub) for the front speakers of my surround system. This speaker fit my dimensions and physically matches my other speakers. So now I have a system that looks good and sounds great. The sound is perfect for just about anyone who wants great home surround. I suppose that for the price ($200) there are probably some technically better speakers out there, but if you have Bose already and/or need/want a short center channel this is a great chioce. Voices really do sound better with a center channel! 5 775 days ago Merchant Details for CircuitCity Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 Rating Provider Rating Rating System Reviews Last Updated BizRate.com 8.4 Scale 1 to 10 Read Reviews 30+ days ago ResellerRatings.com 2.42 Scale 1 to 10 Read Reviews 30+ days ago  We thought you might be interested in other BEST DEALS that we found for you: Home Theatre Systems SONY-DAV-X1V in Home Theatre Systems SONY DAV-X1V 4 Listings Best Price $499.89 Save up to 32% PANASONIC-SC-PTX7 in Home Theatre Systems PANASONIC SC-PTX7 7 Listings Best Price $549.99 Save up to 31% JVC-DD3 in Home Theatre Systems Home Theater System 5 Listings Best Price $699.99 Save up to 23% Speakers and Subwoofers ACOUSTIC RESEARCH-AW811 in Speakers and Subwoofers 900MHz Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Speaker (each) - AW811 4 Listings Best Price $56.95 Save up to 41% ALTEC LANSING-INMOTION in Speakers and Subwoofers INMOTION IPOD SPK-PORTABLE DOCK 4W 4 Listings Best Price $69.95 Save up to 30% PHOENIX GOLD-ATC-8 in Speakers and Subwoofers Phoenix Gold ATC-8 8 200 Watt 2-Way In-Ceiling Speakers 4 Listings Best Price $79.95 Save up to 27% Receivers JVC-RXD205S in Receivers JVC RXD205S 7-channel Audio/Video Control Receiver in silver 110 Watts X7 Power w/ JVC Exclusive... 6 Listings Best Price $173.54 Save up to 37% JVC-RXD301S in Receivers JVC RXD301S 110-Watts per channel Audio / Video Control Receiver with Wireless PC Connectivity 6 Listings Best Price $189.88 Save up to 43% All Best Deals *Pricing and product information listed is obtained from the merchants and is subject to change without notice.
