Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The center channel speaker is responsible for playing a movie's dialogue, making it arguably the most important speaker in a surround sound setup. Fortunately, the XL-C100 more than delivers thanks to its dual 4.5-inch polymer composite woofers, which handle the low and mid ranges, and the 0.75-inch aluminum dome tweeter for the highs. The result is spoken audio with perfect articulation, tonal balance, and integration, creating dialogue that blends seamlessly with soundtrack scores and sound effects. Each phrase--even those muttered under one's breath--is crisp and intelligible. In addition, the dual woofer design can handle a solid amount of power (100 watts nominal), so you can install the center speaker in larger rooms without sacrificing performance.

The speaker hails from Energy's XL series, a line of stereo and surround sound speakers known for their leading-edge design and performance. The XL-C100 performs particularly well when matched with the XL-250 floorstanding and XL-150 bookshelf speakers, which are tonally matched to create a flawless overall soundstage and dramatic realism. The speaker is also magnetically shielded against video interference and boasts a low-profile enclosure, so you can easily locate it above or below your TV without distorting the picture.

Additional features include five-way binding post speaker connections, which ensure the best possible sound; a frequency response of 60 Hz to 20 kHz; an 8 ohm nominal impedance; an a 89 dB sensitivity. All this in a sleek black housing that looks great in most listening rooms. The speaker measures 16.9 by 5.5 by 9.1 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a five-year warranty on parts and labor.

4 out of 5 stars Good Sounding Center Channel.......2006-03-23

This is a great sounding center channel. For $99 it's a great value as well. I originally purchased a BIC Acoustech center that was much larger and more expensive. I returned the BIC and got this to go with my Mirage OmniSat front and rears (Mirage and Energy are made by the same company). I'm really happy with the sound quality. The only other one I really like the sound of is the JBL Northridge 35 but it's over $40 more and larger. If you need a small center with great sound, consider this one.
