I literally had tried every center channel CSW made and I can say unequivocally this is the best I’ve heard from them. I started out with Cambridge Soundworks lowest end system and kept upgrading over time (CSW has a 1 year anniversary upgrade program) until I was at the highest end home theater speakers that CSW had to offer. I have kicked myself enough so please don't add insult to injury because I want them back. I originally purchased 5 because the price was just crazy but it was too much even for the 4200 cub ft The combination is perfect and now I only need another SPL 1200R to complete the set. My two 12' powered subs could not keep pace so I gave them to a friend and I purchased a Velodyne SPL 1200R. With music they are awesome and with a combined speaker volume of 54' my movies are at-the-movies. I let them play constantly at low volume for about a week and then kicked them up to reference level which they land I oved. Never judge a speaker directly out of the box. Like all speakers they need to be correctly placed and they do require a break in period. I use 3 of the MC500 with the L/R mains placed horizontally at the ear level when seated and the center above the TV. It will play flat to 65Hz with a nice visceral impact during movies and beautiful midrange. Good is Good.īeautiful sounding center channel with crystal clear voices and crisp tight highs. I have invited my snooty friends to listen to them before they discover the manufacturer and they love them.

I have owned many well know and moderately expensive speakers and the MC500 is a great speaker. They sound better when played at their full range. The midrange was flawless with Matheney's trumpet player using an open mouth technique and his hand as a mute with an effect which sounded like the breeze coming in from the ocean. The tweeter was perfect during Pat Matheny's guitar picked all the way to the cut-a-way with the high notes so beautiful and lifelike I thought I was there. The voices can be heard so clearly which makes it great for home theater and music. Very visceral and you can hear the large bass strings and kick drums with a crisp fast delivery. It can be biwired and plays flat to 65hz. Full range 3 way center/main speaker with 2 6 1/2 drivers, a 4' midrange and a 1' tweeter in a solid enclosure.
