JBL Northridge EC25 2-Way Dual 5-Inch Center Channel Speaker, Single (Black Ash)

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Center channel speakers are arguably the most important speakers in a home theater system, as they shoulder the burden of reproducing the dialogue. The JBL Northridge EC25 handles the assignment with ease, however, reproducing voices with maximum clarity so listeners never miss a moment of conversation. The speaker is equipped with dual 5-inch PolyPlas woofers, which combine to deliver loud and clear low and mid ranges without distortion or unwanted thump. Meanwhile, the speaker's 0.75-inch titanium-laminate tweeter is oval shaped rather than round--JBL calls this orientation "Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS)"--resulting in a wider horizontal dispersion of sound. The idea is simple: turn every seat, even those in the corners of the room, into the best seat in the house.

Additional audio attributes include a Straight-Line Signal Path (SSP) crossover network that divides the signal with minimal processing, thus preserving its integrity, and sturdy, gold-plated, five-way binding post that provide the best connection possible. All this in an attractive computer-designed black ash cabinet that virtually eliminates distortion. In addition, the speaker maintains a slim profile at 6.88 inches tall and 10 inches deep, and offers video shielding to protect the onscreen image, so home theater users can place the speaker directly on top of the TV.

The EC25 perfectly complements JBL's Northridge E Series of home theater loudspeakers, but also fits seamlessly with many other brands. It's also covered by a generous five-year warranty on parts and labor.

Product Description:
This Northridge E Series EC25 center channel loudspeaker was custom-designed to superbly reproduce the human voice. Many movie soundtracks consist mainly of dialogue, so the center speaker shoulders the burden of filling a home theater. The EC25 easily handles the job. And it's video-shielded, so it can be placed on top of a television. Equipped with JBL's titanium-laminate tweeters and dual PolyPlas woofers, the speaker reproduces dialogue with extreme clarity. The lows and mids, assisted by the FreeFlow flared port, are loud and clear, without unwanted distortion or boominess. Features 150-watt maximum amplifier power with 75-watt/300-watt continuous/peak power handling. Sturdy gold-plated, 5-way binding posts provide a strong connection that preserves all of the nuances of the original program. The computer-designed, miter-joint cabinet virtually eliminates distortion, and its slim European profile won't overpower your room. 25 lbs. 11.5Hx17.5Wx12.25D".

I like these speakers.......2006-07-13

I was going to buy the EC35...but decided I wanted a slightly smaller speaker cabinet as I wanted the flexibility to be able to place the EC25 into my entertainment center cabinet behind speaker grills. This turns out to be able to with a width of slightly less than 18". This compared to the EC35 which is almost 22"...which wouldn't work.

The sound from the EC25 is good. Dialog is good and directed. Voices are not shrill. Any heavy audio requirment easily handled by my JBL main speakers...so the center channel ec25 is matched/mated well with the other JBL speakers.

So it is not only a great speaker for the price, but it integrates well with my other components, and fits within my space requirments. I would buy this speaker again.

Great center Speaker!!.......2006-03-10

I got this to replace my Center Onkyo which was really bad, could barley handle the load. So it was between the EC25 and the EC35. Well after much debate i went with EC25 because it was 75 shipped compared to 150 shipped. Well it didn't matter got it and it sounds GREAT with everything Music, Gaming and radio. I am really happy with this speakers it smokes my last Sony, and Onkyo. Mid and Highs are clear and crip no distortion even if i crank it up to max on reciver last Onkyo, or Sony couldn't do that. I highley suggest this speaker!

The speaker is in good price and very good quality.

Clarity dialog.......2005-10-22

There's a few people suffering (they compared with their horrible speakers with Northridge) Let me tell you that is excellent JBL a Family Series, they give them a lesson how to research, design and built loudspeakers to half known and mediocre and semi reputed companies.

Nice, although preffer EC35, but its well compact, excellent price for a center and comes from JBL Northridge.

This series must be more expensive!!

not the best sounding speaker....but okay for the price.......2005-09-01

I bought this speaker thinking it would be a good buy because of the JBL name. I have it matched up with Klipsch front speakers and Wharfedale rear speakers. The Klipsch and Wharfedale speakers are outstanding. The JBL speaker doesn't seem much better than the television speakers (an old Sony Triniton). It gives a flat sound that has very little clarity or depth. You should go ahead and spend the extra money for a speaker that will deliver a sound that will enhance your system and satisfy your listening experience.
